Verse 1:
E
  You really think that you?re bigger than this
G#m
  To the tune of ten thousand lisps
A
  Who would have thought we?d represent
C
  When I can?t take a compliment?
E
  Overexposure is the key
G#m
  And any focus on me
A
  Is appreciated
C
  As it should be


Refrain 1:
C#m  G#m
  No wonder now
A   E       G#m
  I finally found
                          A
The right formula look for


Chorus 1:
E           G#m
  You taught me how
A       B
  I play the fool
E          G#m
  Every mistake that I make
A                 F#m
  I couldn?t have made without you
E            G#m
  What?s said is done
A          B
  And plain to see
A                            B C
  You take it all too seriously


(Repeat Intro but only twice)


Verse 2:
E
  What better way to make an honest mistake
G#m
  Than a televised hand of fate
A
  When the world?s closing in on you
C
  A decision would be overdue
E
  Now nothing left is out of hand
G#m
  A stronger jaded man stands
A
  If the world is ending
C
  Then we toast to it


Refrain 2:
C#m    G#m
  I?m stronger now
A     E
  But not without
G#m                         A
  The right formula look for


Chorus 2:
E           G#m
  You taught me how
A       B
  I play the fool
E          G#m
  Every mistake that I make
A                 F#m
  I couldn?t have made without you
E            G#m
  What?s said is done
A          B
  And plain to see
A                         B
  Here?s all you get from me
G#/C
  Here?s all you get from me

Bridge:
C#m           A
  I?m down for whatever
E                     G#m
  What?s there left to wait for?
C#m           A
  I?m down for whatever
E                     G#m
  What?s there left to wait for?
A-B         A-B  G#/C
    wait for   I wait


(Repeat Chorus 2)
