G Em D C              
 
G                                  Em        D     C 
There ought to be a town somewhere named for how I feel 
G                                            Em         D    C 
Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say welcome to Sorryville 
G                                         Em          D     C 
It wouldn?t be on a map nowhere you might say that it don?t exist 
A                                  C               D 
But if you make enough wrong turns it?d be hard to miss 
G                                               Em    D     C 
There ought to be a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me 
G                                        Em     D    C 
I?d probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline 
G                                  Em         D      C 
Walk on over to the other side and there I?d light a match 
A 
And sit and stare through the smoke and flames 
C                        D 
Wondering how I?m gonna get back? 
 
(chorus) 
C               G 
Why do I do the things I do 
      Am                   Em 
Was I born this way am I a self made fool 
C                        G 
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark 
  Am                   Em 
I need your love but I break your heart? 
      C                      G 
And I know the words that?ll bring you back 
      Am                     Em 
But I don?t say nothing as I watch you pack 
C                       G                 A 
I had to work to be the jerk I?ve come to be 
C        D          G   Em D C 
It ain?t easy being me 
 
G                                Em   D          C 
There ought to be a sideshow act for freaks like me 
G                                            Em          D   C 
Yeah I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee 
G                                    Em          D      C 
In a room with a big red button that says danger do not touch 
A                                          C             D 
Twice a day I?d mash it down and you could watch me self-distruct 
 
(repeat chorus)
