[Verse 1]
G                Cadd9          D
Talk amongst the skeletons this morning
 G                 Cadd9        D
Aside from all the medicine and health
       G                Cadd9           G             D
If you could do it all again, would you do it all the same?
         G                    Cadd9            D
Is there something that you'd tell your former self?
[Verse 2]
           G                        Cadd9         D
There were those that wished they'd spun upon a jukebox
           G               Cadd9          D
There were pirates who had never seen the sea
        G             Cadd9      G               D
But the one recurring theme, the one recurring dream they had
       G           Cadd9          D
Was to be whatever they wanted to be
[Chorus]
      G  Cadd9    D
To be Pyotr Tchaikovsky
      G         Cadd9    D
To be free like everyone else
           G     Cadd9    D
There will be no flags to own me, no
       G      Cadd9        D
'Cause I just want to be myself
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G         Cadd9         D
Julie telephoning by a ouija
     G         Cadd9               D
Is there any advice that you could give?
     Em                             Cadd9               Em
When you know you're not like them, do you know La Varsovienne?
  G              Cadd9               D
I know that I am living, but can you show me how to live?
[Chorus]
        G    Cadd9 D
And the Holy Roman Army
                G          Cadd9    D
Said your heart beats like everyone else
              G       Cadd9    D
But you don't need no flags to tell you who you are, so say
G      Cadd9        D
I just want to be myself
[Interlude]
G   Cadd9     D

[Chorus]
           G    Cadd9      D
There's an aura that surrounds thee
          G         Cadd9      D
There's a different kind of wealth
      G          Cadd9      D
And I don't need flags to know you're really something
    G      Cadd9          D
And I just love you for yourself
    G      Cadd9          D
Oh, I just love you for yourself
