View chords used in this chart
verse 1
Am
You see me with your eyes
I wear a good disguise
E
But somehow you still think you know me
Am
My life is empty now
My heart is blackened out
E
But I gotta fit in
Am
I also gotta be honest with myself before I kill somebody else
E
This world has done a number on me
Am
Compassion is devoid
I'm always so annoyed
E
my selfishness, it now consumes me
Pre-Chorus
F G Am
But that's okay 'cause no one seems to recognize me anyway

I'm mistaken for somebody else constantly throughout my day
F G Am F E
I won't get caught 'cause no one knows, that I'm an American psycho
verse 2
Am
I know what brand you wear
I know what kind of pair
E
Of pants and shoes and shirts you have on
Am
I dine expensively, with a hard body next to me
E
but she likely won't see your next thought
Pre-Chorus
F G Am
But that's okay 'cause no one seems to recognize me anyway

I'm mistaken for somebody else constantly throughout my day

That I'm an American psycho
[Refrão]F Am
It's so sad, we only seem to care
E
About our face and hair
Am
And what makes us look good

Your business card is better
Am
You have a bigger room
E
That could lead to your doom
Am
And I really think it should
F E
Did you make it to the top of the world just to die?

I own all the name brands
I have a nicer tan

I exercise and work out daily

I rent some videos
Watch the Patty Winter show

My mind it thinks irrationally
