[Verse 1]
A11
Taking my time in the back of a room
G
Don't assume I'm as cold as I seem
A11
Widen the eyes, show the teeth, holding hands
G
Like it's planned, how do they know what they mean?
A11
I go up to a friend, grab his arm, what's the code?
G
I should know, do you struggle like me?
A11
He says, "Finish your drink, then we'll bounce, get it down
G A11
Hit the town," I still don't know what he means
[Chorus]
A11
Am I
G A11
Missing something vital here?
G
'Cause I
A11
Woke up feeling kind of weird
Dm
Guess I'll just pretend, play along
G6add9
Till they figure it out, I don't quite belong
A11
Oh, oh
Dm
Fake it till you make it, but I'm getting it wrong
G6add9
Think I've figured it out, I don't quite belong
A11
Mmm, mmm
[Verse 2]
A11
Suddenly face to a face, man to man
G
Understand? I say yes, but I don't
A11
It's working a charm, here take this, you'll be wired
G A11
But I'm tired, I'd rather smoke it alone
In goes the drink and the fire, and out
G
Comes the doubt, and the stutter, and shame
A11
I chew over a word, but it's wrong, no, I'm fine
G A11
What's the time? I think I'm done with this game
[CHORUS]
A11
Am I
G A11
Missing something vital here?
G
'Cause I
A11
Woke up feeling kind of weird
Dm
Guess I'll just pretend, play along
G6add9
Till they figure it out, I don't quite belong
A11
Oh, oh
Dm
Fake it till you make it, but I'm getting it wrong
G6add9
Think I've figured it out, I don't quite belong
A11
Oh, oh
[Bridge]
