Am Asus2
They know me well, what's to know
Asus4 Am
it's just your average existence
Asus4 Am
along the paths of least resistance
Dm/A
my life's an open book
Asus4
never gets a second look
Asus2 Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
there's nothing more they need to see
[verse 2]
They know that I've got my nine to five
never grumble, don't complain
very seldom show up late
punch the clock day by day
no surprise along the way
I love my job, it's a dream
[chorus]
Am
Ask the ones who love me
Asus2
I am happy, I'm o.k.
Asus4
well adjusted, well behaved
Dm/A
I've got it all, yes I've arrived
Am
no matter how I feel inside
[verse 3]
They know that I am a faithful friend
I share their laughter and their tears
remember birthdays every year
and we hardly ever fight
because, of course, we're all alike
I love my friends, they care for me
[verse 4]
They know that I am a loving wife
I keep my husband well fed
clean the house and make the bed
we know exactly how we think
so we rarely need to speak
how much better could life be
[chorus]
[bridge]
Am
But what of the tortured soul
Dmadd9/A
lying broken, bound within me
Fmaj7add11/A
screaming for attention
Am
struggling to break free
Am
should I leave her there abandoned
Dmadd9/A
crying on the floor
Fmaj7add11/A
sad eyes calling to me
Am
as I try to lock the door
Am
I would like to take her with me
Asus2
so that we can rise above
Asus4 Am
but just ask the ones who love me
Asus2 Am
she is not the one they love
[chorus 2]
Ask the ones who love me
I am happy, I'm o.k.
well adjusted, well behaved
I've got it all, I've arrived
empty, cold and dead inside
