Version 1
[Intro]
A Dm
Did you know that the hole in the apple didn't come from the outside in?
D Gm
It was eaten from the core and out to the skin, and that’s why you'll never find the worm in it
F Fm
But a few bad ones won't spoil the eyes if they fall far enough from the tree
C
The rind is all you see
B E
Leave Eden with my seeds in your stomach
[Interlude]
Am Dm E Am Dm E
[Verse 1]
Am B7
Well this disease is defined by its treatment, you people make me sick
E Am A
Parlance of imbalanced cambia’s been challenged, at best AstraZeneca's just theoretical
Dm Am
Prints of your fingers in the Rorschach jigsaw, say you saw a treasure map
B7 E
Straight-jacket and tie, psychiatric supply, while we tragically try to fit into a trap, but
A Dm
Who'd want to be human anyway?
G C C B Bb
Who pilots all these crude machines?
A Dm
Why'd you come into this world or come out that way?
B
Like freaks of nurture?
E N.C.
Well isn't it funny? (Well not ha-ha funny but y'know, funny)
[Chorus]
Am E
'Cause I doubt that you would even if you could change
Am
You think it makes you special, but it makes you strange
E
I doubt that you would even if you could change
Am
The things that make you special are the things that make you strange
Am Dm E
[Verse 2]
Am B7
I am the shadows cast aside by gallows, and you the red-hot sky
E
And if you're believers, then why would you grieve for the
Am A
Dead, instead of a devil that you never prayed for?
Dm Am B7
You become immune to my toxic fumes, my dose-dependent presence in your life
E
It’s all subjective, all due respect to the collective mind, but
A Dm
Too weird to love, too scared to die
G C C B Bb
Too alien to take you home
A Dm
Horrified at the sight of my reflection in your eyes
B
I don’t belong there
E N.C.
Well, it's your conclusions that make mine delusions, so I make you sane
N.C.
You can thank me later
[Chorus]
Am E
I doubt that you would even if you could change
Am
You think it makes you special, but it makes you strange
E
I doubt that you would even if you could change
Am
The things that make you special are the things that make you strange
[Bridge]
Am Dm E
Am B7 Bb E
Am B7 Bb E
Am
[Verse 3]
A Dm
Who’d want to belong to anyone?
G C C B Bb
I mean, what do people even do?
A Dm
So if you love me, let me let you go, my love
B
So I can be no one
E N.C.
When Chuang-Tzu awoke he sat up, almost choking, spat out a butterfly and said
N.C.
“Five more minutes, please? You wouldn't believe the dream that I just had.
N.C. E
I mean you were there, and you were there, and you, and you, and you were there…
[Chorus]
Am E
'Cause I doubt that you would even if you could change
Am
You think it makes you special, but it makes you strange
E
I doubt that you would even if you could change
E
The things that make you special are the things that make you
Am E
I doubt that you would even if you could change
Am
You think it makes you special, but it makes you strange
E
I doubt that you would even if you could change
Am
The things that make you special are the things that make you strange
Am
