It Aint Easy Being Me

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

[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
