Average
          Bb          F      
Like I’ve never heard that one 
           C
before
          G               Bb
See, that one stupid word
         F                Am
Is why I don’t act anymore
    G          F
One bad review
     G           F
From someone you love
                Fm
And suddenly it doesn’t matter who 
thinks you’re

Above average
    F              Fm             
And so you stick to writing 
  C
nothing else

But now I’ve learned that
G           Am
I’m not the best
      F
So if you need a failure

You can ask where the nearest is
     Fm
I’ll say look no further than your 
favourite lyricist

Me, the kid waking up from a dream
   C          C7           Fm
Realising his music is the worst 
he’s ever seen
        C           E              
And who cares if it was from when 
Am
he was 15
Fm
It deserves the same judgement
G
It deserves the same judgement

God, it’s so hard to be good for 
your age
         C              C7        
When you know that your work’s not
      Fm
 good enough for the stage
C                         Eaug
You got the skills of an idiot
    Am
Who got too much praise
          F
And your whole damn career just 
turns into a phase
        Fm
And the fire in your heart is 
beginning to fade
