     D            D7           
On a string I was held the way I 
   Bm            A
move, can you tell?
      G                    A   
My actions are orchestrated from 
                D
above
     D            D7              
So I swing and I sway wave my 
Bm            A
hands kick my legs
       G              A           
And it's always right with the 
      D
music

(Until all that swinging starts to 
make you sick)
     D            D7              
For a song I was bought, now I lie
Bm            A
 when I talk
      G                    A      
With a careful eye on the cue card
             D

     D            D7              
Onto a stage, I was pushed with my
Bm            A
 sorrow well rehearsed
       G              A           
So give me all your pity and your 
      D
money now, all of it

(We used to think that sound was 
something pure)
D                 D7             
If I could act like this was my 
        Bm                       
real life and not some cage where 
     A                             D
I've been placed
         D7                     
Then, I could tell you the truth 
            Bm                     
like I used to and not be afraid of
        A                        D
 sounding fake
G                                 
Now all that anyone's listening 
         A              D
for are the mistakes
(I'm sorry!)No it's okay, it's okay.
 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3!


     D            D7              
In a house, by myself, I hear the 
Bm            A
ice start to melt
      G                    A  
And watch rooftops weep for the 
                 D
sunlight
     D            D7              
And I know what must change, fuck 
Bm            A
my face, fuck my name
       G              A
They are brief and false 
                 D
advertisements

     D            D7              
For a soul I don't have something 
Bm            A
true I have lacked
      G                    A      
And spent my whole life trying to 
             D
make up for
     D            D7           
But I found in a song and in the 
   Bm            A
people I love
       G              A           
They will lift me up out of 
      D
darkness

     D            D7              
Now my door it stands open
Bm            A

      G                    A      
I am inviting everyone in
             D

     D            D7              
We're laugh we're drink until the 
Bm            A
morning comes
       G              A           
That is what we are gonna do!
      D
