(F#m)
Do I have to change my name? � Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight? � Am I gonna be a star?
F#m
I tried to be a boy � I tried to be a girl � I tried to be a mess
C# Bm
I tried to be the best � I guess I did it wrong � that's why I wrote this song
F#m
This type of modern life? � Is it for me?
This type of modern life? � Is it for free?
F#m
So I went into a bar � Looking for simpathy � A little company
C# Bm
I tried to find a friend � It's more easily said � It's always been the same
F#m [5+] [5+]
This type of modern life � Is not for me
[5+] [5+]
This type of modern life � Is not for free
F#m C#m
American life
F#m C#m
I live the American dream
Bm C#m
You are the best thing I've seen
Bm C#m
You are not just a dream
F#m
I tried to stay ahead � I tried to stay on top � I tried to play the part
C# Bm
but somehow I forgot � just what I did it for � and why I wanted more
F#m [5+] [5+]
This type of modern life � is it for me?
[5+] [5+]
This type of modern life � is it for free?
F#m [5+] [5+]
Do I have to change my name? � Will it get me far?
[5+] [5+]
Should I lose some weight? � Am I gonna be a star?
F#m C#m [2]

I tried to be a boy � I tried to be a girl � I tried to be a mess
[5+] [5+] [5+]

I tried to stay on top

Ah � Ah � Ah � Ah
F#m [5+]
I'm drinking a soy latte � I get a double shotte
It goes right through my body � And you know I'm satisfied
I dropped my mini cooper � And I'm feeling super-duper
Yo they tell I'm a trooper � And you know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and pilates � And the room is full of hotties
so I'm checking out the bodies � And you know I'm satisfied
I'm digging on the isotopes � This metaphysic's shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope � You know I'm satisfied
I've got a lawyer and a manager � An agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant � And a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler � And a bodyguard or five
A gardener and a stylist � Do you think I'm satisfied?
I'd like to express my extreme point of view
I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew
I'm just living out the American dream
And I just realized that nothing is what it seems
Do I have to change my name?
Am I gonna be a star?
Do I have to change my name?
