[Verse 1]
Every time you s[F]tand up
Ready for your c[Dm]loseup
I keep wondering
H[B]ow it's all supposed to b[F]e
This is gonna blow up
Storming in a te[Dm]acup
I'll keep swimming
Ste[B]adily against the stre[F]am
You don't even heed me
Treat me as an en[Dm]emy
See me as a fa[B]ilure
And see me as d[F]umb
You don't even need me
Keep it all in h[Dm]armony
I am disappo[B]intment
And I am no f[F]un
[Pre-Chorus]
H[C]ow could this [B]be misunders[Dm]tood
[Chorus]
No[F] one will tell you
Why they sm[Dm]ile as they berate you
They keep say[B]ing it's gonna be fi[F]ne
No[F] one will help you
As they const[Dm]antly sedate you
They keep kil[B]ling the grape on the v[F]ine
[Verse 2]
Singing your own pra[F]ises
Constantly am[Dm]azes
I don't wanna h[B]ear the words
You're saying to m[F]e
How can I rep[F]hrase this
You're all rats in m[Dm]azes
Constantly you're fig[B]hting
Over scrps of the che[F]ese
Observing all your we[F]akness
Puddles have more de[Dm]epness
Empty vessels cl[B]amoring across the s[F]ea
Revel in your g[F]enius
Eating clean and ne[Dm]edless
I'll be in the co[B]rner
With my dignity
[Pre-Chorus]
[C]How could this[B] be misunder[Dm]stood
[Chorus x2]
No[F] one will tell you
Why they sm[Dm]ile as they berate you
They keep say[B]ing it's gonna be fi[F]ne
No[F] one will help you
As they const[Dm]antly sedate you
They keep kil[B]ling the grape on the v[F]ine
Every time you s[F]tand up
Ready for your c[Dm]loseup
I keep wondering
H[B]ow it's all supposed to b[F]e
