Dirty Imbecile

Eb
If I’m so smart and I’m so pretty,
Damn this town and damn this city.
        Ab6                Bb6
You never give me anything that I want.
Eb
No one seems to really care.
They’re just wholly unaware
        Ab6                Bb6
Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn.

But you won’t understand
Eb7
All the things that I am
Ab                    Abm                 Eb
Cause' I’m crazy in just too many ways.
Ebmaj7
But I get that little feel
Eb7
When my heart starts beating; lungs stop breathing;
Ab               Abm      Eb
All my fibers say to run away.

[Chorus]
(Voice 1)
Eb
Count my little scars, I’ve got dozens down inside
Cm
I come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile.
Eb
All the things I’ve tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young.
Cm
So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere.

[Verse]
(Voice 1)
Eb
Love my mum and love my daddy
Sure they messed me up but that is
        Ab6                Bb6
Voices that they left inside of my head.
Eb
Darling, dearest, don’t you see
I’m tough, I’m smart, I’m bourgeois?
        Ab6                Bb6
And I’ll play out this lie until we’re all dead.

[Post-Chorus]
(Voice 2)
Eb                               Cm
Am I good? Is all I could enough for you?
Eb                               Cm
I’m so scared of when and where I’ll find the truth.
