C D G Em
Most everyone I know is dead
C D G Em
only time I speak to someone it's in my head
C D G Em
and I've learned alone is how I ought to be
C D G Em
I'm slowly growing into my insanity
Am C G
I can't get down I know I've tried
D Am
you're way too high
C G
at night I toss and turn and cry
D Am
no reason why
C G D Am C
I'm built this way, wish I could change but surely time will show
G D G
this thing that hurts me helps me grow
C D G Em
Around me everyone's running
C D G Em
They've all got somewhere to go and someone to be
C D G Em
it makes me glad I'm not pretending to be
C D G Em
a part of this imaginary reality
Am C G
I can't get down I know I've tried
D Am
you're way too high
C G
at night I toss and turn and cry
D Am
no reason why
C G D Am C
I'm built this way, wish I could change but surely time will show
G D G
this thing that hurts me helps me grow
D Am G C
I know you say you think I should
D Am G C
but who's to say what ought to feel good
D Am G C
the push and pull the grinding of the wheel
D Am G Am C
still you sit upon your throne and tell us how to feel
Am C G
I can't get down I know I've tried
D Am
you're way too high
C G
at night I toss and turn and cry
D Am
no reason why
C G D Am C
I'm built this way, wish I could change but surely time will show
G D G
this thing that hurts me helps me grow
