[Intro]
A E Bm D x2
[Verse 1]
D A E
You know I find it hard to stand
Bm D A
The people around me, some of them really suck
E Bm
But you suck less than all of them combined
D A
And that's saying a lot
E Bm D A
I don't lie, I wish I could control the things I can't conrol
E Bm D
But that's impossible you know, oh I know
[Chorus]
N.C. D
Can't we all be David Bowie
A
Can't we all just sing like Paul McCartney
C#m E
Can we dance like Michael Jackson before the kid stuff ever happened
D A
Could we run like Cyndi Lauper before you all forgot about her
C#m E
Memory fades, how The Cranberries taste, and the sounds that Weezer makes
[Verse 2]
A E Bm D A
We all disagree, we fight, over and over about what we think is right
E Bm D A
And just, but truthfully most of the time I don't even know
E Bm D A
I don't lie, I wish I could control the things I can't conrol
E Bm D
But that's impossible you know, oh I know
[Chorus]
N.C. D
Can't we all be David Bowie
A
Can't we all just sing like Paul McCartney
C#m E
Can we dance like Michael Jackson before the kid stuff ever happened
D A
Could we run like Cyndi Lauper before you all forgot about her
C#m E
Memory fades, how The Cranberries taste, and the sounds that Weezer makes
[Bridge]
A E Bm E
[Verse]
A E Bm D
Green Day don't forget me, my friends have all quit listening
A E Bm D
They trade being an American Idiot, for just being some American idiots
A E Bm D
The Beatles you most of all, in my eyes you'll never fall
A E
Even though half the bands dead
Bm D
You never left anything unsaid
[Chorus]
N.C. D
Can't we all be David Bowie
A
Can't we all just sing like Paul McCartney
C#m E
Can we dance like Michael Jackson before the kid stuff ever happened
D A
Could we run like Cyndi Lauper before you all forgot about her
C#m E
Memory fades, how The Cranberries taste, and the sounds that Weezer makes
[Fade out]
E A E Bm D
Can't we all be David Bowie
E A E Bm D
Can't we all be David Bowie
E A E Bm D A
Can't we all be David Bowie
