Intro: C Gm F Fm7   

Verse 1:
                   C
I wrap my flaws in ribbon
                 Gm
And mask it with perfume
                       F
Stay out too late more than I should
                  Fm7   
So I look cool to you
             C                             Gm
I made it my addiction to be part of every room
                      F                           Fm7   
You call yourself the sun, I do my best to be the moon

Pre-chorus:
C                           Gm                          F    Fm7   
I want to be inked in, I'll settle for being written in chalk
C                           Gm                              F    Fm7   
I'm there 'cause it's easy, I know where I stand, just as I thought

Chorus:
     C         Gm
That I don't belong anywhere
         F
I'm just there to be there
          Fm7   
I'll show up where I'm wanted
    C           Gm
And I think I'm too drunk to care
         F
But I'll still do my hair
          Fm7   
I'll show up where I'm wanted
    Am7                   C
I'm always around waiting up for your call
F                           Fm7   
'Cause I'm like a moth to a flame
    Am                   C
And now I resent that I bothered at all
      F
Guess I know my place
    G                 (nc)     C Gm F Fm7   
And maybe it's better that way

Verse 2:
                C                                  Gm
I'm too good at pretending that I don't live in my skin
                F                          Fm7   
I'll have a new identity dependin' who I'm with
                C                            Gm
And if I laid myself on the table, would you like who I was
     F                             Fm7                        (nc)
If I laid my guard down, would you still keep in touch, 'cause

Pre-chorus:
C                           Gm                          F   Fm7   
I want to be inked in, I'll settle for being written in chalk
C                             Gm                            F    Fm7   
I'm there 'cause it's easy, I know where I stand, just as I thought

Chorus:
     C         Gm
That I don't belong anywhere
         F
I'm just there to be there
          Fm7   
I'll show up where I'm wanted
    C           Gm
And I think I'm too drunk to care
         F
But I'll still do my hair
          Fm7   
I'll show up where I'm wanted
    Am                    C
I'm always around waiting up for your call
       F                    Fm7   
'Cause I'm like a moth to a flame
    Am                  C
And now I resent that I bothered at all
      F
Guess I know my place
    G          (nc)
And maybe it's better that way

Interlude:
   C Gm F Fm7   
   C Gm F Fm7   
   C Gm F Fm7   

Outro:
      Am                     C
And I don't want to make any trouble at all
   F                G                    (nc) Am C
I know anyway, it's better to go without say
     F
That I know my place
    G                     C
And maybe it's better that way
