  			Intro:  C#5  B5  A  E  G#5  A (3x) 

E                                       G#5 
  You really think you're bigger than this 
                                 A 
to the tune of ten thousand lisps 
                                     C 
who would have thought we'd represent 
                               E 
when i can't take a compliment? 
		       G#5                    A 
overexposure is the key   and any focus on me 
	       C 
is appreciated   as it should be 

C#5   B5         A 
   no wonder now 
  E             G#5                     A 
i finally found     the right formula for... 

E            G#5         A 
  you taught     me how 
    B5          E 
i play the fool 
           G#5            A 
every mistake that i make 
                F#m 
i couldn't have made without you 
E            G#5        A       B5          A 
  what's said   is done   and plain to see 
                              B5 C5 
you take it all too seriously 

Bridge:  C#5  B5  A  E  G#5  A (2x) 

E                                       G#5 
  what better way to make an honest mistake 
                             A 
than a televised hand of fate 
                                  C 
when the world's closing in on you 
			    E 
a decision would be overdue 
                             G#5 
now nothing left is out of hand 
			    A 
a stronger jaded man stands 
                       C 
if the world is ending   then we toast to it 

C#5   B5           A 
   i'm stronger now 
    E           G#5                     A 
but not without     the right formula for... 



E            G#5         A 
  you taught     me how 
    B5          E 
i play the fool 
           G#5            A 
every mistake that i make 
                F#m 
i couldn't have made without you 
E            G#5        A       B5          A 
  what's said   is done   and plain to see 
                     B5    C5 
here's all you get from me   here's all you get from me
