Capo 1


G                                  Em7      D/F#  Cadd9
There ought to be a town somewhere named for how I feel
G                                            Em7       D/F# Cadd9
Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say welcome to Sorryville
G                                         Em7        D/F#   Cadd9
It wouldn''t be on a map nowhere you might say that it don''t exist
A7                     A7sus4 A7   Cadd9           D
But if you make enough wrong  turns it''d be hard to miss


There ought to be a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me
I''d probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline
Walk on over to the other side and there I''d light a match
Sit and stare through the smoke and flames wondering how I''m gonna get back


Chorus:
Cadd9           Cadd9/B
Why do I do the things I do
      Am                   Cadd9/B
Was I born this way am I a self made fool
Cadd9                   Cadd9/B
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
  Am                   Cadd9/B
I need your love but I break your heart
      Cadd9                  Cadd9/B
And I know the words that''ll bring you back
      Am                     Cadd9/B
But I don''t say nothing as I watch you pack
Cadd9                   Cadd9/B           A7   A7sus4
I had to work to be the jerk I''ve come to be
Cadd9    D          G    Em7  D/F#  Cadd9
It ain''t easy being me


There ought to be a sideshow act for freaks like me
Yeah I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee
In a room with a big red button that says danger do not touch
Twice a day I''d mash it down and you could watch me self-destruct


Chorus
