Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) * < Single strum only Verse 1: F* I'm not special Am* C* Who the hell am I to think I'm special? F* I'm not so well Am* Thanks for asking F* C* But you probably figured what else is new F* I try my best still Am* C* But if I die, wind up in some mess you’ll— F* keep my head filled C* G With the notion that I don't deserve this F* life that I've built
Chorus: G I'm not special, special F Don't know why I thought I could be someone I'm no one G To anyone who knows me C I'm a burden, I'm certain F The only thing I'm good for is hurtin' the G ones I love Verse 2: F I wanna be special Am But I don't know if it's worth all of this C stress F You don't know my struggle Am 'Cause I don't tell it F C If I did, I really don't think you'd be Am bothered to hear it, anyway G If I sang a song Am Would you listen? F Or would you tell me that I'm terrible? G If I played along Am To ease the friction F Would you still tell me that I'm terrible? Chorus: G Oh, I'm not special, special F Don't know why I thought I could be someone I'm no one G To anyone who knows me C I'm a burden, I'm certain F The only thing I'm good for is hurtin' the G ones I love Bridge:(Optional One Strum On This Bridge)* C But the ones I love F They really love me C The ones I love F They truly know me C You drag my name F It's kinda funny C 'Cause my name F Makes you lots of money Chorus: G I guess I'm special, special F Who the hell are you to say I'm not special? Oh well C F Got everybody talking in this hell hole Am I'm the devil F C Dante wrote me into his inferno G Here we go Again Post-Chorus: G Is this what you came for? You paid for? F To watch somebody burn and crumble And stumble C F Then fumble all my words and let you twist them And listen C F To all the ugly things you tell me I am Am I'm tryin' F So hard to understand how I'm the C Master, manipulator G Who couldn't fool anyone F C The monster, reciprocator Am F Shot no bullets from my gun C The drama queen Who never seems F To get applause from anyone G I won't be who you say I am Outro: F* If I sang a song Am* Would you listen? C* Or would you tell me that I'm terrible? F* I won't play along Am* This game is twisted C* And I think that would make me terrible That would make me—
