A                                E
Life inside the music box ain't easy
                                       A
The mallets hit, the gears are always turnin'
     F                       A       E           A 
And everyone inside the mechanism is yearning to get out

     A                      E
And sing another melody completely
                                           A            
So different than the ones they're always singin'
            F                          A     
I close my eyes and think that I have found me,
            F                A
but then I feel mortality surround me
E                          A   
I want to sing another melody
   F                   E           A 
So different than the one I always sing

(But when I do the dishes...)

E
I put the water very, very, very hot
            A
And then I fill the sink to the top with bubbles of soap
            E
And then I set all the bottle caps I own afloat
             A        E             A
And it's the greatest voyage in the history of plastic!

(And..then..I...)

E
Slip my hands in and start to make waves
           A
And then I dip my tongue in and take a taste
               E
It tastes like soap, but it doesn't really taste like soap
           A 
And then I lower in my whole mouth and take a gulp!

(And..start..to...)

A                 E                                                A
Feel mortality surround me; I close my eyes and think that I have found me
     F                               A
But life inside the music box ain't easy
            F                         A
The mallets hit, the gears are always turnin'
    E                        A        F          A
And everyone inside the mechanism is yearning to get out
     E                      A          F           A
And sing another melody completely, is yearning to get out
    F             A
Is yearning to get out
    F          A
Is yearning to get out...
