Version 1[Intro] F A Dm Bb F C F F A Dm Bb F Bb C [Verse 1] F A In lipstick on the mirror Dm Bb Are the lyrics to my obituary F A In iambic pentameter, follow parameters Dm Bb Crossing my eyes, dot my t's F A I was delivered holding scissors Dm Bb I live deliberately, I’m a quitter Dm And a winner anyway Gm C Cause I never agreed to participate in this game Bb C F Dm Won't follow my dreams cause they all got me waking up screaming Gm I can’t let them go for me C After all, there's no I in team [Chorus] F And I'd rather be normal A Yes, so normal Dm Bb I suggest that we keep this informal F A Dm Bb Cause a normal human being wouldn't need F To pretend to be normal A To be normal Dm Bb Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya F Dm Gm C To be normal in a way I couldn’t be Bb C F A Dm Bb C’mon c’mon and love me normally [Verse 2] F A Dm Bb If I could live in third person, well I don’t think life would be much worse than it is F A Dm N.C. In the current tense, presently, this sentence ending in question marks or dot dot dot F A Dm Bb Is it courageous or escapist to leave the quarantine when you’re contagious? Dm It may just be a cold Gm C And besides I don’t wanna get old yeah Bb C F Dm I drank myself to death to be the afterlife of the party Gm C When the afterparty came, I was rolling in my grave [Chorus] F And I'd rather be normal A Yes, so normal Dm Bb I suggest that we keep this informal F A Dm Bb Cause a normal human being wouldn't need F To pretend to be normal A To be normal Dm Bb Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya F Dm Gm C To be normal in a way I couldn’t be Bb C F A Dm Bb C’mon c’mon and love me normally [Spoken] F A Dm Bb Now this is the part of the song where I talk to my audience. F A Dm Bb I like to tell 'em there's something I want from you hep cats tonight. F A Dm Bb I want you to look to your left, look to your right, your 12 o'clock, three o'clock, six o'clock, F A Dm Bb nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight. F A Dm Bb And I want you to find those points of no return, those singularities, those event horizons, F A Dm Bb those burning rings of fire in the beautiful pupils and the beautiful eyes of the beautiful boy, girl, F A Dm Bb neither, both, or in-between that you brought with you tonight. F A Dm Bb And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel. F A Dm Bb I want you to tell 'em that you love the way that they don't stick out like sore middle fingers. F A Dm Bb That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve, stick their flag in the peak, F A Dm Bb and slide their way back down. I want you to tell them that you love the way that they're not maladaptive, F A Dm Bb not malcontent, not malignant or maleficent, F A Dm Bb but rather that you love them...exactly the way that everybody else is. [Pre-Chorus] Bb C I was nothing before so F Dm I couldn’t have asked to be born Bb C F Dm I'll be nothing again, so what am I between now and then? Bb C Is there nothing to fear F Dm Cause shit's getting weird Gm So to God who made this man C You better have one hell of a plan [Chorus] F And I'd rather be normal A Yes, so normal Dm Bb I suggest that we keep this informal F A Dm Bb Cause a normal human being wouldn't need F To pretend to be normal A To be normal Dm Bb Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya F Dm Gm C To be normal in a way I couldn’t be Bb C C'mon c'mon yeah, I said come on yeah Bb C C'mon c'mon yeah, I said come on yeah Bb C F A Dm Bb F Come on, come on, and love me normally
