Am C F
My life is a musical, I know how to put on

Could overlook the world?

She never gave a second to

What the other people thought

What happened to the dream
C
Of rejecting the routine?
F Dm
'Cause they never worked for me
[Chorus]
Am F
I'm gonna burn this theater down
C
And pray to God for the strength
G
To help me face the crowd
Am F
I wanna live like I lost the script
C G
And scream every line like this is it

Rewriting your identity is all the rage

And the sad thing is we're

All in on the action

We're all holding our breath

Waiting for a reaction

You play your part
Am
I'll be playing with matches
G
And if you'd like a show
G
You can follow the ashes

I'm gonna burn this theater down
