FPut on the jeans that fit to tight
CPut on a pair of oxfords
FWe're gonna look like Neil Young tonight
AmBut I don't feel I belong here
EmNo matter how I try
FAnd everyone is smiling and Geveryone's polite
AmI'm sure that they'll unmaks be
EmFor the fraud that I've become

CPut on the silly sweater
FThe one that you got at the thrift store
CPut on some cut off jean shorts
FAnd we'll all laugh at my decor
AmBut I wake up with a dry mouth
EmAnd my back is stiff and sore
FAnd I don't feel much like laughing at all my costumes on the floor
AmI'm just like Pagliacci
Emand I smile and I have fun

CGo home in the evening
FPut on sweatpants and a grey sweatshirt
CAnd I don't feel like anything
FAnd I don't feel like anyone that's for sure
AmBecause I'm bland and I am boring
EmAnd I'm tired and afraid
FThat I'll fake it until I make it but I'll never get made
AmI like the impostor much more
EmWhen it's all said and done
[Chorus]
FSo I'll keep putting it on putting it on puGtting it on

Put on your grandpa's jacket

Put on the jeans that fit to tight

Put on a pair of oxfords

We're gonna look like Neil Young tonight

But I don't feel I belong here

No matter how I try

F G

And everyone is smiling and everyone's polite

I'm sure that they'll unmaks be

For the fraud that I've become

[Chorus]

So I'll keep putting it on putting it on putting it on

For everyone

[Verse 2]

Put on the silly sweater

The one that you got at the thrift store

Put on some cut off jean shorts

And we'll all laugh at my decor

But I wake up with a dry mouth

And my back is stiff and sore

And I don't feel much like laughing at all my costumes on the floor

I'm just like Pagliacci

and I smile and I have fun

[Chorus]

So I'll keep putting it on putting it on putting it on

For everyone

Go home in the evening

Put on sweatpants and a grey sweatshirt

And I don't feel like anything

And I don't feel like anyone that's for sure

Because I'm bland and I am boring

And I'm tired and afraid

That I'll fake it until I make it but I'll never get made

I like the impostor much more

When it's all said and done
