[A]
You're not as messed up as you think you are
Your self-absorption makes you messier
Just settle down and you would feel a [F#m] whole lot better
Deep [D] down you're just [E] like [A] everybody else
She's not as pretty as she thinks she is
Just picture her after she's had kids
I bet she sits at home and listens [F#m] to the slants
Deep [D] down she's just [E] like everybody [A] else
[Bm] So why are [E] you sad at home?
You're not designed to [A] be alone
You just got used to [F#m] saying no
Get up and get down and get [Bm] outside
Lovely [E] sunny day
Hide [A] yourself away
You've only got [F#m] yourself
Get [D] up and get [A] down and get outside
He's not as clever as he likes to think
He's just ambitious with his arguing
He's crap at dancing and he can't [F#m] hold his drink
Deep down he's just [E] like [A] everybody else
I'm not as awesome as his song makes out
I'm angry, underweight and sketching out
I'm building bonfires on my [F#] vanities and house
To get [D] warm just [E] like everybody [A] else
[Bm] So why are [E] you sad at home?
You're not designed to [A] be alone
You just got used to [F#m] saying no
Get up and get down and get [Bm] outside
Lovely [E] sunny day
Hide [A] yourself away
You've only got [F#m] yourself
Get up and get [A] down and get outside
Baby [E] thinks her life [G] is lacking in drama
So she felt the horrors, ghosts, faith, [D] healing and karma
She's so wrapped up in her [Bm] invisible armor
She'll never grow [E] into herself
And it's okay thinking me and all [G] my friends are just wasters
The same, I can still see through [D] her airs and braces
I'm just too scared that life won't [Bm] leave any traces
Try to break [E] everyone else
That's [D] not my point anyway
[E] Oh darling, I felt compelled to [D] call you up to say
So [Bm]
why are [E] you sad at home?
You're not designed to [A] be alone
You just got used to [F#m] saying no
Get up and get down and get [Bm] outside
Lovely [E] sunny day
Hide [A] yourself away
You've only got [F#m] yourself
Get [D] up and get [A] down and get outside
Get [G] up and get down and get outside
Get up and get down and get [D] outside
Get [E] up and get down and get [F#m] outside
Get [B] up and get down and get [D] outside
Get [E] up and get [C] down and get [A] outside
