[Intro]
Am Dm C Em
[Verse 1]
I've Amnever fit into Dmany cateCgory, always Emdeemed an outcast
Since AmI was in SunDmday School and all Cthe cool kids said EmI was weird
It's eAmxactly the same, they say:
"Why do you Dmdress that way? Why do you act that Cway?
Why aren't you just like Emme?"
So is that Amwhat you really wanna say to me?
You playin' Dmgames with me
Tellin' me if I'm unkind, still Cyou abandon me
Calling me words I'm E7not, paintin' a picture that's false
AmYou must not know my heart, but I Dmknow it isn't your fault
You Clive in a world in your clutch, you Emdon't get out very much
AmLivin' in the fake world, full of Dmfacades and chaotic beChavior
You pull the lever for E7fun, yell, "fire," then you just Erun
[Chorus]
Fire Amdrill, what would happen if a Dmnuke just hit?
Would you say Cbye to your family? Would you Empost about it?
Fire Amdrill, if it all went up in Dmflames one day
Would you Cgive your mom a hug before your Emhouse burned away?
It Amkills, I wish the Dmbest for you
And Cyou think I E7ignore you too, butAm  
Really, I'm tryna Dmlive my own lifeC  
And be present more, and Eso should you, it's alright to
[Verse 2]
AmCryin' inDmside
'Cause Cnothin' I say ever comes Emout right
AmWe're on the Dmsame side
If I'm Chonest with you, you just run and Emhide
I'm Ambad at public Dmspeaking
But I'm Cspeaking now so Emhear me out (Shut up)
I Ampersonally belDmieve that everyCone is fully Emcapable
Of Ammore than what they're doing, all of the Dmbullying
All of the screwing around with Cpeople they don't even really Emknow, oh (Blah, blah, blah)
AmEatin' a hate soufflé, and an Dmangry bitter sorbet
All 'Ccause you were bored one day
Losing your E7wits and your grace
[Chorus]
Fire Amdrill, what would happen if a Dmnuke just hit?
Would you say Cbye to your family? Would you Empost about it?
Fire Amdrill, if it all went up in Dmflames one day
Would you Cgive your mom a hug before your E7house burned away?
It Amkills, I wish the Dmbest for you
And Cyou think I iEmgnore you too, butAm  
Really, I'm tryna Dmlive my own lifeC  
And be present more, and Eso should you, it's alright to

AmI am not the government
DmI am not the fucked up men
CI am not a part of anyEthing that is hateful
AmLove is seeping out my pores, I Dmdon't hold anger anymore
ECven for people who hurt and beEtray me (Okay)

[Intro]

Am Dm C Em

[Verse 1]

Am Dm C Em

I've never fit into any category, always deemed an outcast

Am Dm C Em

Since I was in Sunday School and all the cool kids said I was weird

It's exactly the same, they say:

Dm C

"Why do you dress that way? Why do you act that way?

Why aren't you just like me?"

So is that what you really wanna say to me?

You playin' games with me

Tellin' me if I'm unkind, still you abandon me

Calling me words I'm not, paintin' a picture that's false

Am Dm

You must not know my heart, but I know it isn't your fault

C Em

You live in a world in your clutch, you don't get out very much

Am Dm C

Livin' in the fake world, full of facades and chaotic behavior

E7 E

You pull the lever for fun, yell, "fire," then you just run

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?

C Em

Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?

Am Dm

Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day

C Em

Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?

Am Dm

It kills, I wish the best for you

C E7 Am

And you think I ignore you too, but

Dm C

Really, I'm tryna live my own life

And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

[Verse 2]

Am Dm

Cryin' inside

C Em

'Cause nothin' I say ever comes out right

Am Dm

We're on the same side

C Em

If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide

Am Dm

I'm bad at public speaking

C Em

But I'm speaking now so hear me out (Shut up)

Am Dm C Em

I personally believe that everyone is fully capable

Am Dm

Of more than what they're doing, all of the bullying

C Em

All of the screwing around with people they don't even really know, oh (Blah, blah, blah)

Am Dm

Eatin' a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet

All 'cause you were bored one day

Losing your wits and your grace

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?

C Em

Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?

Am Dm

Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day

C E7

Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?

Am Dm

It kills, I wish the best for you

C Em Am

And you think I ignore you too, but

Dm C

Really, I'm tryna live my own life

And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

[Break]

I am not the government

I am not the fucked up men

C E

I am not a part of anything that is hateful

Am Dm

Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore

C E

Even for people who hurt and betray me (Okay)

I am not the government

I am not the fucked up men (Gross)

C E

I am not a part of anything that is hateful

Am Dm

Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore

C E

Even for people who hurt and betray me

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?

C Em

Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?

Am Dm

Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day

C E7

Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?

Am Dm

It kills, I wish the best for you

C Em Am

And you think I ignore you too, but

Dm C

Really, I'm tryna live my own life

And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to
