   E               G#
In lipstick on the mirror,

        C#m           A
are the lyrics to my obituary

    E                 G#
In iambic pentameter, followed parameter,

C#m                      A
crossing my eyes, dot my T's

        E               G#
I was delivered holding scissors,

         C#m               A
I live deliberately, I'm a quitter

      C#m
And a winner anyway,

        F#m                B
cause I never agreed to participate in this game.

A              B
Won't follow my dreams,

            E                    C#m
no, they've all got me waking up screaming

        F#m
I can't let them go for me,

      B                      C
after all there is no "I" in team

                  F               A
And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal

      Dm                    Bb
I suggest that we keep this informal

        F            A                 Dm   Bb
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need

                 F            A
To pretend to be normal, to be normal

       Dm                            Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya!

      F          Dm              Gm       C
To be normal in a way I couldn't be, yeah yeah

Bb                C             F   A   Dm   Bbm
C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally

     E                   G#
If I could live in third person,

       C#m
well I don't think life would be

     A
much worse than it is

       E
In the current tense, presently,

G#
this sentence ending with

C#m                        A
question marks or dot dot dot…

         E             G#
Is it courageous or escapist

             C#m                       A
to leave the quarantine when you're contagious?

   F#m
It may just be a cold,

      B
and besides I don't wanna get old yeah

A                  B
 I drank myself to death

          E                C#m
to be the afterlife of the party

         F#m
When the afterparty came,

      B             C
I was rolling in my grave

                  F               A
And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal

      Dm                    Bb
I suggest that we keep this informal

        F            A                 Dm  Bb
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need

                 F            A
To pretend to be normal, to be normal

       Dm                            Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya!

      F          Dm              Gm     C
To be normal in a way I couldn't be, yeah yeah

Bb                C             F   A   Dm   Bbm
C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally

E
  Now this is the part of the song

                G#
where I like to talk to my audience

C#m
  I like to tell 'em there's something I want

         A
from you hep cats tonight.

E
I want you to look to your left,

              G#
look to your right,

C#m                                       A
nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight

                                               E
And I want you to find those points of no return,

                                    G#
those singularities, those burning rings of fire

                      C#m
in the beautiful pupils and the beautiful eyes

                 A
of the beautiful boy, girl, neither, both,

                        E
or in-between that you brought with you tonight.

                         G#
And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel.

        C#m                        A
I want you to love the way they so seamlessly,

       E
like a dream for me,

              G#
so beautifully, oh so dutifully

C#m
 jam that square peg in the

A
round hole in their hearts!

E
I want you to tell 'em that you love the way

G#                                               C#m
that they don't stick out like sore middle fingers

                                  A
That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve,

            E
stick their flag in the peak,

        G#
and slide their way back down!

                                 C#m
I want you to tell them that you love the way

                     A
that they're not maladaptive,

E
 not malignant or maleficent,

G#
 but rather that you love them

  C#m
exactly the way that everybody else is!

A                 B
 I was nothing before

       E                     C#m
so I couldn't have asked to be born.

A                B
 I'll be nothing again,

        E           C#m
so what am I between now and then?

A                    B
 Is there nothing to fear?

      G#           C#m
Cause shit's getting weird!

      F#m
So to God who made this man,

           B                  C
you better have one hell of a plan!

                  F               A
And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal

     Dm                       Bb
I suggest that we keep this informal

        F            A              Dm      Bb
Cause a normal human being wouldn't need, no,

                 F             A
To pretend to be normal, to be normal

       Dm                            Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya!

      F           Dm                     Gm     C
To be normal in a way that I could never be, yeah

Bb                  C

Bb                  Dm
