D G
you say my time here has been some sort of joke
D
that i've been messing around

some sort of incubating period
D
for when i really come around
Em
but i'm cracking up

and you have no idea
Em D
no idea how it feels to be on your own
Em
in your own home

with the fucking phone

and the mother of gloom

in your bedroom
Em
standing over your head
A
with her hand in your head
D
with her hand in your head

i will not pretend

i will not put on a smile

to do everything in truth

D G
oh i wish, i wish, i wish i was born a man
D G
so i could learn how to stand up for myself

like those guys with guitars

i've been watching in bars

who've been stamping their feet to a different beat
A D
to a different beat, to a different beat

i will not pretend
D
i will not put on a smile

i will not say i'm alright for you
A
when all i wanted was to be good
