[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D][C][G]
[D][C][D][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Ten
thousand words swarm [C]around my head
Ten mil[G]lion more in books
written [D]beneath my [C]bed[G]
[D]I wrote or read them a[C]ll when
searchin' [G]in the swarms
Still can't find out how to
[D]hold my hands
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
And I [D]know you need me [C]in
the next room [G]over
But I am stuck in here all [D]paralyzed[C][G]
For [D]months I got [C]myself in ruts
Too much [G]time spent in mirrors
framed in yel[D]low walls
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Ain't it like most [C]people? I'm no different
[G]We love to talk on things we
don't know [D]about[C][G]
[D]Ain't it like most [C]people? I'm no different
[G]We love to talk on things we don't
know [D]about

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D][C][G][D]
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
And [D]everyone [C]around me shakes
[D]their hea[G]d in disbelief
And says I'm too [D]caught [C]up[G]
They say [D]young is good and [C]old is fine
And [G]truth is cool but all that matters
Is that you [D]have your good times
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
But their [D]good times come with [C]prices
And I can[G]'t believe it when I
hear the [D]jokes they [C]make[G]
At [D]anyone's expense
[C]except their own[G]
Would they laugh if they
[D]knew who paid?
[C][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]Ain't it [C]like most people?
I'm no dif[G]ferent
We love to talk on things we
don't know [D]about[C][G]
[D]Ain't it like most [C]people?
I'm no dif[G]ferent
We love to talk on things we don't know [D]about

[Verse 7]
And [D]after we are through [C]ten years
Of [G]making it to be the most
of glor[D]ious [C]debuts[G]
I'll [D]come back home
[C]without my things

[Verse 8]
'Cause the [G]clothes I wore out there
I will not [D]wear 'round [C]you[G]
And they'll be [D]quick to point
[C]out our shortcom[G]ings
And how the experts all have
[D]had their doubts
[C][G]

[Verse 9]
[D]Ain't it like most [C]people?
I'm no differ[G]ent
We love to talk on things we
[D]don't know [C]about[G]
[D]Ain't it like most [C]people?
I'm no differ[G]ent
We love to talk on things we
[D]don't know about
[C][G]

[Verse 10]
[D]Ain't it like most [C]people?
I'm no differ[G]ent
We love to talk on things we
[D]don't know [C]about[G]
[D]Ain't it like most [C]people?
I'm no differ[G]ent
We love to talk on things we [D]don't know
