You try so hard But you don't understand
C                Em  Am
Just what you'll say When you get home 
C                    Em
Because something is happening here 
Am
But you don't know what it is 
F              Am
Do you, Mister Jones

F                                   Am
Who immediately walks up to you When he hears you speak

And says, "How does it feel To be such a freak?"

To get you facts When somebody attacks your imagination 
Am                         E
But nobody has any respect Anyway they already expect you 
F                       Dm                           G
To just give a check To tax-deductible charity organizations
