Intro: / G - - / C/G - - / x6

G                    D
How does it feel when life doesn't seem real
          F              G (1)    C/G (1)
And you're floating about on your own
 G                 D
Life seems uncertain, so you draw the curtain
   F                     G
Pretending there's nobody home
        D           F
Don't theorize, look in your eyes
            G             Em
They can't tell lies, though you disguise what you see
A         D (1)  Dsus4 (1)  D (1)  Dsus2 (1)
  Your reality

     G              D
We needed a savior and by our behavior
    F                      G (1)   C/G (1)  G (1)   C/G (1)
The ones that were worth it are gone
    G                  D
But songbirds are talking and runners are walking
   F                  G
A prodigal son's coming home
        D          F
Don't theorize, look in his eyes
               G           Em
and they won't tell lies, but if he defies what you see
A           D (1)  Dsus4 (1)  D (1)  Dsus2 (1)
  Here is a key

Chorus:
G     Am
Be yourself, why don't you
 D (1)  Dsus4 (1)  D (1)  Dsus2 (1)
Be    your   -  self,   c'mon and
G     Am
Be yourself, why don't you
D (1)  Dsus4 (1)  D (1)  Dsus2 (1)
Be

    G              D
He needed a tutor, so built a computer
     F                  G (1)    C/G (1)   G (1)    C/G (1)
And programmed himself not to see
     G                 D
The truth and the lying, the dead or the dying
     F             G
There is only one way to be
          D             F
So don't theorize, look in his eyes
            G                 Em
Are they telling lies, the ones that you see on T.V.?
A                 D (1)  Dsus4 (1)  D (1)  Dsus2 (1)
   So you want to be free?

Outro Chorus:
G     Am
Be yourself, why don't you
 D (1)  Dsus4 (1)  D (1)  Dsus2 (1)
Be    your   -  self,   c'mon and
G     Am
Be yourself, why don't you
D (1)  Dsus4 (1)  D (1)  Dsus2 (1)
Be    your   -  self,

Repeat Outro Chorus
