[Verse 1]
C Am C7 F F7 I'm that first-person they talk about in all the books C Am C7 F F7 I'm that perspective you cannot doubt, see how I look C Am C7 F F7 Control the narrative reliably, baby, it's all about me C Am C7 F F7 And I wrote the book about throwing the book at those who don't do it by it
[Pre-chorus 1]
E Am So now I'm holding myself hostage, Stockholm lust just looks like justice E Am A And enough lefts don't make the right but two wrongs do, oh man, Sun Tzu would love this Dm G C Cmaj7 Am Am7 Beating my dead high horse off the high road to low ground F G C C7 'Cause if you shake your fists at snakes in grass it looks like punching down!
[Chorus 1]
F G C Am So God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being F G C A7 I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene F G E7 Am I'm the gap between a tragedy and comedy Fm/D G C Don't come at me, I'm the main character and you have to like me

[Verse 2]
C Am C7 F F7 I loot plot armor from NPC's, well, they are to me C Am C7 F F7 Trite, tropes, traits, traumas, trinkets, and treats; it's all XP C Am C7 F F7 Look in the sky, it's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's super-ego! The underdog you cheer for C Am C7 F F7 Villains are everywhere, that's how I know that I'm the hero
[Pre-chorus 2]
E7 Am So tie me to the train tracks, laugh and snidely twist your mustache E7 Am A Snidely Whiplash, Boris Badinov, ignorin' me's bad enough Dm G C Cmaj7 Am Where do you get off? Da, dasvidaniya, darling, Daleks in high collars Am7 F G C C7 monologue and I outsmart them with a ray-gun and a tweet
[Chorus 1]
F G C Am So God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being F G C A7 I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene F G E7 Am I'm the gap between a tragedy and comedy Fm/D G C Don't come at me, I'm the main character and you have to like me

[Pre-chorus 3]
E Am Judge me by what my cover shows, author becomes beyond reproach E Am A You don't know the prose, or if the spine is still intact Dm G C Cmaj7 Am Am7 Oh, like Alice fell to Wonderland come astroturf my Overton F G C C7 And bolden my demand to live by alternative facts
[Bridge]
F G C Cmaj7 Am Am7 Her majesty says "the royal we demand a standard of loyalty F G C C7 An agreement to be reverent, lick the emperor's new boots" F G E Am The court fool got the guillotine, the witches the stake, you the dopamine Fm/D C And Siemens made the Zyklon B but we all still get the flu F G C7 We all do what we need to to get through (It's nothing new) Fm/D G C C7 But I ain't done a fucking thing to you!
[Chorus 2]
F G C Cmaj7 Am So God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being Am7 F G C C/D Bbdim7 I mean, imagine if antagonists lacked any evil scheme F G E7 Am I'm the gap between a tragedy and comedy Fm/D G C Don't come at me, I'm the main character and you have to like me
