Verse 1:
E
  You really think that you’re bigger than this
Abm
  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
Abm
  And any focus on me
A
  Is appreciated
C
  As it should be


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


Chorus 1:
E           Abm
  You taught me how
A       B
  I play the fool
E          Abm
  Every mistake that I make
A                 F#m
  I couldn’t have made without you
E            Abm
  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
Abm
  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
Abm
  A stronger jaded man stands
A
  If the world is ending
C
  Then we toast to it


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


Chorus 2:
E           Abm
  You taught me how
A       B
  I play the fool
E          Abm
  Every mistake that I make
A                 F#m
  I couldn’t have made without you
E            Abm
  What’s said is done
A          B
  And plain to see
A                         B
  Here’s all you get from me
Ab/C
  Here’s all you get from me

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