[Chorus : D D/G F/Bb]
[Bridge : F5 E5 A G5]
I'll start this off
Without any words
I got so high that
I scratched 'til I bled
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The finest day
That I ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command
[Repeat "Love myself..." part]
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died
Every night
It's safe to say
Don't quote me on that
[Repeat "Love myself..." part]
The black sheep got
Blackmailed again
Forgot to put
On the zip code
[Repeat "Love myself..." part]
[Repeat chorus]
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don't make a sense
[Repeat "Love myself..." part]
One more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home
[Repeat "Love myself..." part]
[Repeat chorus]
