[Intro] G Em D C [Verse]
G                                  Em        D     C
There ought to be a town somewhere named for how I feel

G                                            Em         D    C
Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say welcome to Sorryville

G                                         Em          D     C
It wouldn't be on a map nowhere you might say that it don't exist

A                                  C               D
But if you make enough wrong turns it'd be hard to miss

G                                               Em    D     C
There ought to be a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me

G                                        Em     D    C
I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline

G                                  Em         D      C
Walk on over to the other side and there I'd light a match

A
And sit and stare through the smoke and flames

C                        D
Wondering how I'm gonna get back...
[Chorus]
C               G
Why do I do the things I do

      Am                   G
Was I born this way am I a self made fool

C                        G
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark

  Am                   G
I need your love but I break your heart...

      C                      G
And I know the words that'll bring you back

      Am                     G
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack

C                       G                 A
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be

C        D          G   Em D C
It ain't easy being me
[Verse]
G                                Em   D          C
There ought to be a sideshow act for freaks like me

G                                            Em          D   C
Yeah I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee

G                                    Em          D      C
In a room with a big red button that says danger do not touch

A                                          C             D
Twice a day I'd mash it down and you could watch me self-distruct
[Chorus]
C               G
Why do I do the things I do

      Am                   G
Was I born this way am I a self made fool

C                        G
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark

  Am                   G
I need your love but I break your heart...

      C                      G
And I know the words that'll bring you back

      Am                     G
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack

C                       G                 A
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be

C        D          G   Em D C
It ain't easy being me

         D          G   Em D C
It ain't easy being me
[Outro] C G
