     Bm
I'm sitting in a room
                F#m
Made up of only big white walls and in the halls
         Bm
There's people looking through
The window in the door,
     F#m
they know exactly what we're here for
Em
Don't look up, just let them think
         A                   F#m
There's no place else you'd rather be
       Bm
You're always on display
                           F#m
For everyone to watch and learn from
           Em                         D   A
Don't you know by now You can't turn back
         Em   D/F#   G    A     D    F#
Because this road is all you'll ever have

Chorus:
Bm                            G      Em F#
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Bm                         G        Em F#
Just living proof that the camera's lying
    G    Em                         G
And open wide, 'cause this is your night
     A            A#dim7            Bm
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style

If you let me, I could
I'd show you how to build your fences
Set restrictions
Separate from the world
The constant battle that you hate to fight
Just blame the limelight
Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
And now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have

Chorus:
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide
'Cause this is your night so smile

Em                           G
Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
                             D
With every breath that you breathe in
       A
Just breathe it in
Em                            G
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
                            D
You do all this, big talk, yeah..
                          A
So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.

Yeah, yeah, well, you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it
I said let's see you walk it

Chorus:
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide
Yeah oh, oh, open wide
Yeah oh, oh, open wide
'Cause you'll go out in style
You'll go out in style
