Material Boy

C G F

[Verse 1]
C                     G          
  I love material but everything 
                 F
I love so quickly falls apart
F                           C
Keep it to myself and in my heart
                           G
And I'm only as sick as my secrets
F
  So baby tell me what is my 
weakness?
C                             G  
  I called the therapist, she 
                      F
sent me to a circle to sort it out
            F
I've got my foot in my mouth
C                                 
   My medicine stopped working for
    G        F
 my sick soul
          F
Under the pressure, I fold

[Chorus]
C                                 
  And I opened up my heart and 
     G        F
found a spiritual void
C                                  
  This is a spiritual world, I'm a 
G       F
material boy
C                                 
  And I opened up my heart and 
     G        F
found a spiritual void
C                                  
  This is a spiritual world, I'm a 
G       F
material boy
                   C
I'm a material boy

Deeply American, which is to say I'm
           F
 deeply ashamed
  F
I wonder what the world would say?
C                             
  And I'm probably sick from my 
  G
secrets
F
  Politically daft, but we're in 
deep shit
C                                
  Can't tell the circle that the red
G
 has got me paranoid
F
  Superiority keeps me annoyed
C                                 
  It bears repeating that I'm sick
     G
 and have to quit
F
  No longer Christian, but I'm still
 afraid of judgement

[Chorus]
C                                 
  And I opened up my heart and 
     G        F
found a spiritual void
C                                 
  This is a spiritual world, I'm a
   G       F
 material boy
C                                 
  And I opened up my heart and 
     G        F
found a spiritual void
C                                  
  This is a spiritual world, I'm a 
G       F
material boy
                   C
I'm a material boy

[Bridge]
G F

C                      G
  I filled all my pockets
                    F
Checked all the boxes
                F
I couldn't escape
                          C
Still find myself obnoxious

Prideful and godless
G                    F
Selfish and thoughtless

Capital dream for material boy that
  F               C
I went and I lost it
                     F
I went and I lost it all

[Chorus]
C                                 
  And I opened up my heart and 
     G        F
found a spiritual void
C                                 
  This is a spiritual world, I'm a
   G       F
 material boy
C                                 
  And I opened up my heart and 
     G        F
found a spiritual void

(it's a spiritual world, I'm a 
material boy)
C                             
  It's a spiritual world, I'm a 
  G       F
material boy
