A
I don't know why
C#m         F#m        C#m                      D          E
I just feel I'm better off staying in the same room I was born in
A                  C#m          F#m
I look outside and see a whole world
       C#m                    D             E
Better off without me in it trying to transform it

Chorus:
D                  A
You are out of my mind, oh
F#m                    E
You aren't seeing my side, oh
D                       A
You waste all of this time trying to get to me
    F#m                E  A
But you are out of my mind

Listen, I know
This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds
But the lyrics are so down
It's okay though
Because it represents, wait, better yet it is
Who I feel I am right now

G                D
Heard you say, "not today"
F#                              Bm         A
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound
G                 D
Heard your voice, there's no choice
F#                              Bm         A
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise

A
Don't you test me, no
       C#m                F#m
Just because I play the piano
             C#m                             D
Doesn't mean I, I'm not willing to take you down
     E
I’m sorry

Chorus

Heard you say, "Not today"
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound
Heard your voice, "there's no choice"
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise

Chorus

Heard you say, "Not today"
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound
Heard your voice, "there's no choice"
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise

G             D
Buh buh bah, buh buh bah
F#                     Bm        A
Bah  bah bah  bah bah, bah  bah bah  bah bah
G             D
Buh buh bah, not today
F#                     Bm        A
Bah  bah bah  bah bah, bah  bah bah  bah bah
G             D
Buh buh bah, buh buh bah
F#                     Bm        A
Bah  bah bah  bah bah, bah  bah bah  bah bah
G     Gm   G   D
Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
