Verse:

D (xx0232@1)             D+               Gm7           F#7On (242352@1)a string I was held the way I move, can you tell?

      D (xx0232@1)            D+              Gm7             F#7So (242352@1)I swing and I sway wave my hands kick my legs
       E-           A (x02220@1)             D (xx0232@1)       D7And (xx0212@1)it's always right with the music
      G-                                    
(Until all that swinging starts to make you sick)

D (xx0232@1)           D+              Gm7                F#7For (242352@1)a song I was bought, now I lie when I talk
      E-               A (x02220@1)                 D (xx0232@1)        D7With (xx0212@1)a careful eye on the cue card
     D (xx0232@1)           D+             Gm7                F#7Onto (242352@1)a stage, I was pushed with my sorrow well rehearsed
       E-              A (x02220@1)               D (xx0232@1)          D7So (xx0212@1)give me all your pity and your money now, all of it

Bridge:

E-           A (x02220@1)        F# (244322@1)        B-          G (320003@1)         A (x02220@1)          B-
If I could act like this was my real life and not some cage where I've been placed
 E-           A (x02220@1)          F# (244322@1)       B-         G (320003@1)         A (x02220@1)          B- 
Then, I could tell you the truth like I used to and not be afraid of sounding fake
G (320003@1)                                            A (x02220@1)               DNow (xx0232@1)all that anyone's listening for are the mistakes
(I'm sorry!)No it's okay, it's okay. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3!
