Intro (x2): A   D A
 
Verse 1:
                            D      A
There's electrical tape around my shoes
                          D         A
To prevent them from breaking in two
 
And there's a crown on the end of my tooth
                          D
Some royal filler and some superglue
             A       Bm         D
And there are broken things all over my room
A       Bm             D
 Old and borrowed, stolen and used
A              Bm       D
 Instruments that can't hold a tune
       A                Bm        D
I recline on my mattress and become one too
 
Chorus:
            Bm    A
I've never had satisfaction
     Gbm        E
In the chemical reactions
         Bm   A     Gbm  E
That happen in my head
        Bm         A
There are faults in these cracks
          Gbm        E
They send volts then relax
    Bm      A                        Gbm   E
Then realize the wrong message was sent
    Bm  A             Gbm  E
It's disillusion, and confusion
Bm   A            E
This illusion of me
         Bm     A
Through solemn seclusion
        Gbm      E
(And my neurons' delusion)
         Bm   A
I've come to this conclusion
          Gbm    E      A
That I'll never fully be
 
Interlude: Bm   D   A   Bm   D
 
Verse 2:
A       Bm                D
In my mind, I can't find an inclination
     A      Bm             D
Or a basic impulse for self preservation
       A      Bm      D
So I'll sit here, teetering and waiting
      A              Bm            D
For a big gust of wind or some stabilisation
    A          Bm           D
I'm treading water, I'm juggling knives
   A         Bm      D
I'm doing both at the same time
      A            Bm              D
Dude! Put down the blades and swim to the shore line
     A     Bm          D
Well, oh God, I've tried
 
Chorus:
            Bm    A
I've never had satisfaction
     Gbm        E
In the chemical reactions
         Bm   A     Gbm  E
That happen in my head
        Bm         A
There are faults in these cracks
          Gbm        E
They send volts then relax
    Bm      A                        Gbm   E
Then realize the wrong message was sent
    Bm  A             Gbm  E
It's disillusion, and confusion
Bm   A            E

         Bm     A
Through solemn seclusion
        Gbm      E
(And my neurons' delusion)
         Bm   A
I've come to this conclusion
          Gbm    E      A
That I'll never fully be
 
No not fully
 
Bridge:
      A
I first saw you from my plastic cage
        E          A
From the wedding band at the back of the stage
  E       Bm              A
In slow motion, you caught the bouquet
  E               A
In slow motion, I smiled and walked away
 
Isn't this the same story? We've heard it before
 
The same melody and the same score
          Gbm         Am                Dbm
Well, these hairs won't stand up in my pores
            Bbm                A
These shouts of calamity are becoming a bore
 
Chorus:
            Bm    A
I've never had satisfaction
     Gbm        E
In the chemical reactions
         Bm   A     Gbm  E
That happen in my head
        Bm         A
There are faults in these cracks
          Gbm        E
They send volts then relax
    Bm      A                        Gbm   E
Then realize the wrong message was sent
    Bm  A             Gbm  E
It's disillusion, and confusion
Bm   A            E
This illusion of me
         Bm     A
Through solemn seclusion
        Gbm      E
(And my neurons' delusion)
         Bm   A
I've come to this conclusion
          Gbm    E      A
That I'll never fully be
 
No not really
