Intro: Em C G D x2
Em C G D
You follow every line, you wear your perfect patch and style
Em C G D
But you're like a satellite and you're drifting through the sky
Em C G D
You can't make up your mind about this or that, or anything at all
Em C G D
You go with the flow and hope to God, that no one knows it
C D
Everything you are, everything you say
Em G
Everything you do is not for you
C D
Everything you feel, everything you know
Em G
You found it on your favorite TV show
Chorus:
C G D
And it's people like you that make me sick
C G D
I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look
Em C G D
You're telling everyone how different that you really are
Em C G D
But it's been said before, so maybe you're not special after all
Em C G D
If you put the same amount of effort into letting go
Em C G D
Just act yourself and you might like it, you never know
C D
'Cause everything you want, everything you do
Em G
You try so hard to be everyone but you
C D
Everywhere you turn, you just gotta learn
Em G
It's easier if you don't try so hard
Chorus
C G D
And it's people like you that make me sick
C G D
I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look
C G D
Is there somewhere I can go to get away
C G D
Where there's truth and people mean just what they say
C G D
You try too hard
C G D
You just try too hard
C G D
You try too hard
Solo: Em C G D 2x
Chorus
C G D
And it's people like us that make me sick
C G D
I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look
C G D
Is there somewhere I can go to get away
C G D
Where there's truth and people mean just what they say
C G D
You try too hard
C G D
You just try too hard
