[Verse 1]
---------------------
A E B E G# A Am
In lipstick on the mirror are the lyrics to my obituary
E E7 A Am
In iambic pentameter, followed parameter, crossing my eyes, dot my T's
E G# A Am
I was delivered holding scissors, I live deliberately, Iâm a quitter
F# B
And a winner anyway, 'cause I never agreed to participate in this game
[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
A B E Emaj7 C#m B
Won't follow my dreams, 'cause they all got me waking up screaming
F# B C7
I can let them go from me, after all there's no âIâ in team
[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
F A7
And I'd rather be normal, yes, so normal
Bb Bbm
I suggest that we keep this informal
F A7 Bb Bbm
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
F A7
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
Dm Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
F Fmaj7 Dm7 F G7 C
To be normal in a way I couldnât be
Bb C F A7
Câmon, câmon, and love me normally
[Verse 2]
---------------------
Dm7 Bbm F C Bb F B E G# A
If I could live in third person, well, I donât think life would be
Am
much worse than it is
E E7 A
In the current tense, presently, this sentence ending in question marks or dot, dot,
Am
dot
E G# A Am
Is it courageous or escapeist to leave the quarantine when youâre contagious?
F# B
It may just be a cold, and besides I donât wanna get old, yeah
[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
A B E Emaj7 C#m B
I drank myself to death to be the afterlife of the party
F# B
When the afterparty came, I was rolling in my grave
[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C7 F A7
And I'd rather be normal, yes, so normal
Bb Bbm
I suggest that we keep this informal
F A7 Bb Bbm
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
F A7
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
Dm Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
F Fmaj7 Dm7 F G7 C
To be normal in a way I couldnât be
Bb C F A7
Câmon, câmon, and love me normally
[Post-Chorus (1)]

[Bridge 1]
---------------------
E C
Now this is the part of the song where I like to talk to my audience
C#m Eaug
I like to tell 'em there's something I want from you hep cats tonight
E C
I want you to look to your left, look to your right, your 12 o'clock, three o'clock,
C#m Am
six o'clock, nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight
E
And I want you to find those points of no return, those singularities, those burning
C C#m
rings of fire in the beautiful pupils of the beautiful eyes of the beautiful boy,
Eaug E
girl, neither, both, or inbetween that you brought with you tonight, and I want
C
you to tell 'em how you really feel
C#m Am E
I want you to tell 'em that you love the way they so seamlessly, likeadreamfully, so
C C#m C
beautifully, ohsodutifully jam that square peg in the round hole in their hearts
E C
I want you to tell 'em that you love the way that they don't stick out like sore middle
C#m
fingers
C E
That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve, stick their flag in the peak,
C
and slide their way back down
C#m C
I want you to tell them that you love the way that they're not maladaptive, not
E C C#m
malcontent, not malignant or maleficent, but rather that you love them exactly
the way that everybody else is
[Bridge 2]
---------------------
A B E Emaj7 C#m B A B
I was nothing before, so I couldnât have asked to be born I'll be nothing
E Emaj7 C#m B
again, so what am I between now and then?
A B G# C#m B
Is there nothing to fear? Cause shit's getting weird
F# B
So to God who made this man, you better have one hell of a plan
[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
F A7
And I'd rather be normal, yes, so normal
Bb Bbm
I suggest that we keep this informal
F A7 Bb Bbm
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need, no
F A7
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
Dm Bb
Well, I guess that's the least that I owe ya
F Fmaj7 Dm7 F G7 C
To be normal in a way I could never be
Bb C
Câmon, câmon, yeah, I said câmon, yeah

Câmon, câmon, yeah, I said câmon, yeah
