Dm
Is anything as strange as a normal person?
C                       Dm
Is anyone as cruel as a normal person?
Dm
Waiting after school for you,
They want to know if you
C                    Dm
If you're normal too. Well, are you?
C       Dm
Are you?

Well
I'm so confused
Am I a normal person? You know
I can't tell if I'm a normal person, it's true
I think I'm cool enough
But am I cruel enough?
Am I cruel enough
For you?

Chorus:
Dm
And they will break you down
F                   C
Till everything is normal now, I know
Dm
And they will break you down
F                   C                Dm
Till everything is normal now, I know

They take their tea at two, all the
The normal people, they do
They burn the jungle down
While they were sleeping, it grew
You dream in English now
In proper English, look how
You're just the same as me
It's through

[Chorus: Win Butler]
And they will break you down
‘Til everything is normal now
I know
And they will break you down
‘Til everyone is normal now
I know

     F                   C                     Dm A#
If that's what's normal now, I don't want to know
     F                   C                       Dm
If that's what's normal now, Mama don't make me go

Dm
When they get excited, they try to hide it
Look at those normals go
When they get excited, they try to hide it
Look at those normals go
When they get excited, they try to hide it
Look at those normals go
When they get excited, they try to hide it
No!

Chorus:
And they will break you down
‘Til everything is normal now
I know
And they will break you down
‘Til everything is normal now
I know


If that's what's normal now
I don't want to know
If that's what's normal now

D             A#
Maybe if you hang together
F                  C
You can make the changes in our hearts
And if you hang together
You can change us, just where should you start?

I've never really ever met a normal person
I've never really ever met a normal person
I've never really ever met a normal person
I've never really ever met a normal person
Like you
How do you do?
How do you do?
Thank you
