Verse 1:
You really think that you’re bigger than this
To the tune of ten thousand lisps
Who would have thought we’d represent
When I can’t take a compliment?
Overexposure is the key
And any focus on me
Is appreciated
As it should be
Refrain 1:
No wonder now
I finally found
The right formula look for
Chorus 1:
You taught me how
I play the fool
Every mistake that I make
I couldn’t have made without you
What’s said is done
And plain to see
You take it all too seriously
(Repeat Intro but only twice)
Verse 2:
What better way to make an honest mistake
Than a televised hand of fate
When the world’s closing in on you
A decision would be overdue
Now nothing left is out of hand
A stronger jaded man stands
If the world is ending
Then we toast to it
Refrain 2:
I’m stronger now
But not without
The right formula look for
Chorus 2:
You taught me how
I play the fool
Every mistake that I make
I couldn’t have made without you
What’s said is done
And plain to see
Here’s all you get from me
/
Here’s all you get from me
Organ: (hold)-A(hold)-E(hold)-G#m(hold)
Bridge:
I’m down for whatever
What’s there left to wait for?
I’m down for whatever
What’s there left to wait for?
- - /
wait for I wait
(Repeat Chorus 2)
