[Verse 1]
F
Every time you stand up
Dm
Ready for your closeup
I keep wondering
A# F
How it's all supposed to be
This is gonna blow up
Dm
Storming in a teacup
I'll keep swimming
A# F
Steadily against the stream
You don't even heed me
Dm
Treat me as an enemy
A#
See me as a failure
F
And see me as dumb
You don't even need me
Dm
Keep it all in harmony
A#
I am disappointment
F
And I am no fun
[Pre-Chorus]
C A# Dm
How could this be misunderstood
[Chorus]
F
No one will tell you
Dm
Why they smile as they berate you
A# F
They keep saying it's gonna be fine
F
No one will help you
Dm
As they constantly sedate you
A# F
They keep killing the grape on the vine
[Verse 2]
F
Singing your own praises
Dm
Constantly amazes
A#
I don't wanna hear the words
F
You're saying to me
F
How can I rephrase this
Dm
You're all rats in mazes
A#
Constantly you're fighting
F
Over scraps of the cheese
F
Observing all your weakness
Dm
Puddles have more deepness
A# F
Empty vessels clamoring across the sea
F
Revel in your genius
Dm
Eating clean and needless
A#
I'll be in the corner
With my dignity
[Pre-Chorus]
C A# Dm
How could this be misunderstood
[Chorus x2]
F
No one will tell you
Dm
Why they smile as they berate you
A# F
They keep saying it's gonna be fine
F
No one will help you
Dm
As they constantly sedate you
A# F
They keep killing the grape on the vine
