Special

                F#            
Who the hell am I to think I'm 
  F#(b5)
special?
        D#m
I'm not so well
           F#aug
Thanks for asking
                         F#        
But you probably figured what else 
  F#(b5)
is new
         D#m         F#aug
I try my best still
               F#              
But if I die, wind up in some 
F#(b5)
mess
                D#m
You'll keep my head filled
          F#aug                F#   
                     F#(b5)
With the notion that I don't deserve
 this life that I've built


[Chorus]
          D#m
I'm not special, special
F#aug                       F#
Don't know why I thought I could be 
someone

I'm no one
    F#(b5)
To anyone who knows me
       D#m
I'm a burden, I'm certain
     F#aug                      F#  
              F#(b5)
The only thing I'm good for is 
hurtin' the ones I love


[Verse 2]
            D#m     F#aug
I wanna be special
                          F#       
But I don't know if it's worth all 
          F#(b5)
of this stress
                    D#m
You don't know my struggle
               F#aug
'Cause I don't tell it
                    F#             
If I did, I really don't think 
                  F#(b5)
you'd be bothered to hear it, anyway
            D#m
If I sang a song
           F#aug
Would you listen?
             F#              
Or would you tell me that I'm 
    F#(b5)
terrible?
            D#m
If I played along
             F#aug
To ease the friction
                 F#             
Would you still tell me that I'm 
            F#(b5)
terrible?

[Chorus]
              D#m
Oh, I'm not special, special
F#aug                       F#
Don't know why I thought I could be 
someone

I'm no one
    F#(b5)
To anyone who knows me
       D#m
I'm a burden, I'm certain
    F#aug                       F#  
              F#(b5)
The only thing I'm good for is 
hurtin' the ones I love


[Bridge]
               D#m
But the ones I love
            F#aug
They really love me
            F#
The ones I love
           F#(b5)
They truly know me
             D#m
You drag my name
           F#aug
It's kinda funny
           F#
'Cause my name
                   F#(b5)
Makes you lots of money


[Chorus]
             D#m
I guess I'm special, special
        F#aug                       
   F#
Who the hell are you to say I'm not 
special?

Oh well
       F#(b5)                 D#m
Got everybody talking in this hell 
hole

I'm the devil
F#aug                     F#
Dante wrote me into his inferno

Here we go
F#(b5)
Again


[Post-Chorus]
                 D#m
Is this what you came for?

You paid for?
    F#aug                    F#
To watch somebody burn and crumble

And stumble
     F#(b5)                        
Then fumble all my words and let 
  D#m
you twist them

And listen
   F#aug                           
F#
To all the ugly things you tell me I
 am

I'm tryin'
    F#(b5)
So hard to understand how I'm the
D#m
Master, manipulator
     F#aug
Who couldn't fool anyone
      F#
The monster, reciprocator
F#(b5)
Shot no bullets from my gun
     D#m
The drama queen

Who never seems
   F#aug
To get applause from anyone
   F#                  F#(b5)
I won't be who you say I am


[Other]
            D#m
If I sang a song
               F#aug
Would you listen?
              F#             
Or would you tell me that I'm 
           F#(b5)
terrible?
              D#m
I won't play along
              F#aug
This game is twisted
             F#
And I think that would make me 
terrible
F#(b5)
That would make me
