Human behave yourself, 
                       G 
you have burst at the seam  
                        Am 
let it all fall out open your mouth  
C 
often I lie wide awake, think of things I  
G 
can make but I don't seem to have the  
Am 
parts to build them  

Human I wonder why you're a better  
make than I could ever build or create,  
you know not love or hate  
I am so scared of what will kill me in the  
end for i am not prepared, i hope I will  
get the chance to be someone, to be  
human, look what we've done, look what  
we've done  
C                Am         G 
I would give my life, to be human  
I would give my life, to be human  
I would give my life, to be human  
I would give my life, to be.  

Human I'm trying to come clean, I will be  
a better me, I will not drink until I'm dead  
I'll make the most of it. i don't know what  

it's like to be alive, to say goodbye, to  
cry a thousend tears because my ears  
won't listen  

Human I'm trying not to lose my faith in  
you. I've sussed out all that I've seen  
through, I've sailed an ocean  

I am so scared of what I'll look like in the  
end for i am not prepared, I hope I will  
get the chance to be someone  
to be human, look what we've done, look  
what we've done  

Am                          C          G 
I used to hear it all so loud, the sound of  
my heart breaking. The truth is waiting to  
be found, I trust that I will take it  

I would give my life to be.
