G A AAnd you are special, so fucking special (Rita)
G A AOh how you need it, oh how you're needed

AYou parted seas but your arches, they ain't golden (ah)
G A AAnd you was gaggin' for some gags and now you're rollin' (woo)
G A A Best you shut your trap and keep it hush (hush)
A C BOn another note, compliments make me blush

A DThere's a hole in your pocket, so you cannot find the change
A DCavern of your mind, you say your pattern
A DYou pull your strings and you jump, hold your mouth and you say
B Bb "What was scripted, the day before it happened?"
A DWe all give applause when people look and pause
A DBut on the way out and get your back in
A DSee, everything in life ain't silver and gold
B BbBut minin' for metal gave you platinum

A G A DIt makes me sick to think you ain't happy in your skin
A G A DIt's weird, a thing to think light bulb don't blink
A G A DJust flickers to them, then it pops and withers
B BbYou're a Turkey Twizzler, you deserve school dinners
AMakes me sick
[Bridge] – same riff as Verse 1

A DThe truth, the bills, they must be paid (uh-huh)
A DAnd what is left is sorta atypical
A DAll you need to change your face
B BbYou're gettin' sold, it's such a waste
A DYou know, we could Do so much better than this
A DSwimmin' in pools of momentary bliss
A DWhere you gotta find a family 'cause everybody taken
B BbThey worry you keep on adding, I think you gotta crawl
[Chorus 2] – same riff as Chorus 1
A G A DIt makes me sick to think you ain't happy in your skin
A G A DIt's weird, a thing to think light bulb don't blink
A G A DJust flickers to them, then it pops and withers
