Fm C# D# When we were younger, there always seemed like some Some perfect mold we were supposed to be But now we're growing up and I see it's just not that way Now I feel like someone's lied to me Chorus: Fm G# ’Cause I've been true, made good for you A#m C# D# And now I feel used, I'm asking you: How does it feel, how does it feel How does it feel, how does it feel to be like you? Tell me now, elders, what were your reasons for Making it seem like you were so much more? If you want to feel good because of our accomplishments Why the fuck don't you just do it yourself? Chorus: ’Cause, man, I've tried, man, I've tried While you just lied, so now just tell me: How does it feel, how does it feel How does it feel, how does it feel to be like you? ’Cause I've been true, made good for you And now I feel used, I'm asking you: How does it feel, how does it feel How does it feel, how does it feel to be like you?
