When I was young I was strange

Night after night in New York City
C D G
Trying hard not to amount to anything
Em Am
People don't change Same as it ever
C D G
was but now people pay to hear me sing
Refrain 1:
Em C
It's worth a second look
D G
But I swear I've made myself

from glue and smiles

Maybe I'll pretend that

I'm somebody else
Am
Who's closer to

what I want to be

G Em
There's no sign of me here
Am
I've been to hell and back

On a train built with pride

and failed attempts
Em
That used to be fun
Am
I never thought you could
C
reinvent the world by playing
D G
shows and writing songs
