[Intro]
Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am
The air comes off the ocean
Am
The city smells fishy
Am
The air is full of fish and mystery
Am
Whispering who, what, when
Am
I am warning you I am weightless
Am
And the wind is always shifting
Am
So don't hang anything on me
Am
If you ever want to see it again
     F N.C.                            G
I am telling you I'm different than you
N.C.      Am
Think I am
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am
And you can dangle your carrot
Am
But I ain't gonna reach for it
Am
Cuz I need both my hands
Am
To play my guitar
Am
And life is a sleazy stranger
Am
Who looks vaguely familiar
Am
Flirting with a bimbo named disaster
Am
At the end of the bar
         F N.C.                         G
And I am telling you that I am different
     N.C.  Am
Than you are
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am
At night when you're asleep
Am
Self hatred's going to creep in
Am
You can try to blame it on the devil
Am
The one who's bed you sleep in
Am
And don't tell me what they did to you
Am
As though you had no choice
Am
Tell me, isn't that your picture?
Am
Isn't that your voice?
             F N.C.
If you don't live what you sing about
     G N.C.             Am
Your mirror is going to find out
 
 
[Interlude]
   C    G  Dm  F  C    Dm  F  C

[Bridge]
                  Am      F             C Dm
I'd like to go to all the pretty parties
                            F C
Where all the pretty people go
G           Am              F     C Dm
And I ain't really all that pretty
      Am        F C G
But nobody will know
    Am        F     C  Dm
Cuz everybody loves you
F               C G
When you're a star
    Am     F   c
And nobody questions
Dm      Am               F C
What it takes to go that far
    F N.C.
And life is a sleazy stranger
    G N.C.
And this is his favorite bar

[Outro]
     Am              F     C Dm
No I don't prefer obscurity
    Am         F      C G
But I'm an idealistic girl
      Am                F  C Dm
And I wouldn't work for you
                   F C
No matter what you paid
      Am         F   C Dm
And I may not be able
   Am               F       C    G
To change the whole fucking world
                   F      C
But I could be the million
Dm       Am    F C
That you never made
C
Oh yeah
  F                         Am
I could be the million that you never made
               C                          Am
I could be the million that you'll never make
                      C            Dm           Em
You're looking at the million that you'll never make
Am             C                          Am
I could be the million that you'll never make
Am             C                   F
I could be the million that you'll never make
C                           Am
I could be the million that you'll never make
Am
I could be the million that you'll never make
           C                         Am
I could be the million that you'll never make
Am
I could be the million that you'll never make
           C           Am
I could be the million that you'll never make
