[Verse 1]
GTalk amongst the Cadd9skeletons this Dmorning
AGside from all the Cadd9medicine and Dhealth
If you Gcould do it all aCadd9gain, would you Gdo it all the Dsame?
Is there Gsomething that you'd Cadd9tell your former Dself?
[Verse 2]
There were Gthose that wished they'd Cadd9spun upon a juDkebox
There were Gpirates who had Cadd9never seen the Dsea
But the Gone recurring Cadd9theme, the Gone recurring drDeam they had
Was to Gbe whatever Cadd9they wanted to Dbe
[Chorus]
To be GPyoCadd9tr TchaikDovsky
To be Gfree like Cadd9everyone Delse
There will Gbe no Cadd9flags to Down me, no
'Cause GI just Cadd9want to be myDself
[Instrumental]
G   Cadd9   Dx2
[Verse 3]
GJulie teleCadd9phoning by a oDuija
Is thGere any adCadd9vice that you could Dgive?
When Emyou know you're not like them, Cadd9do you know La VarsoEmvienne?
I Gknow that I am Cadd9living, but can you Dshow me how to live?
[Chorus]
And the GHoly Cadd9Roman DArmy
Said your heart Gbeats like Cadd9everyone Delse
But you don't Gneed no Cadd9flags to Dtell you who you are, so say
GI just Cadd9want to be myDself

There's a Gdifferent Cadd9kind of weaDlth

And GI just Cadd9love you for yoDurself
Oh, GI just Cadd9love you for yoDurself
