(D+ is a "D augmented major", aka a D major with a sharp 5)

Verse:

      D5               D+               G5           F#5
On a string I was held the way I move, can you tell?
      E-               A5                 D5            D5
My actions are orchestrated from above
      D5              D+              G5             F#5
So I swing and I sway wave my hands kick my legs
       E-           A5               D5         D5
And it's always right with the music
      G-                                    
(Until all that swinging starts to make you sick)

     D5             D+              G5                F#5
For a song I was bought, now I lie when I talk
      E-               A5                   D5          D5
With a careful eye on the cue card
     D5             D+             G5                F#5
Onto a stage, I was pushed with my sorrow well rehearsed
       E-              A5                 D5            D5
So give me all your pity and your money now, all of it
      G-
(We used to think that sound was something pure)

Bridge:

 E-           A5          F#5          B-          G5           A5            B-
If I could act like this was my real life and not some cage where I've been placed
 E-           A5            F#5         B-         G5           A5            B- 
Then, I could tell you the truth like I used to and not be afraid of sounding fake
G5                                              A5                 D5
Now 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!



...The rest of the song just repeats the chord pattern in the verse until the end.
