Chords for Flawed Design by Stabilo

_ When I was a young [Em] boy I was honest and I had more [C#] self-control
If I was tempted [E] I would run
_ [E] Then when I got older [Em] I began to lie to get exactly [F#] what I wanted
When I wanted it, [C] and I wanted [E] it
Now I'm having trouble [G] _ differentiating between [D] what I want and what I need
To make me [Am] happy
[Em] _ [E] So instead of thinking [G] I'll just act
Before I have a [D] chance to contemplate the consequence [Am] of action
[E] And I will turn off, [G] and I will shut [D] down
Burying the voices [Am] of my conscience sitting ground
[E] And I will turn off, [G] and I will shut down
[D] The chemicals are restless [Am] in my _ head
Cause [Em] I love you all because [G] I want to
But I [D] seem to need you all [Am] the time _
You're all [Em] I love and I don't [G] even mind
Maybe [D] this is all a part [Am] of my self [E]-design
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
[E] _ Never since I figured [G] out that I could control other [A] people
I've had [B] trouble sleeping [Am] with all the [C] eyes closed
[E] And if I ask permission, [G] if I make sure it's okay
I [F#m] promise I won't [Bm] slip up this time, [Am] you can trust me
[E] But never taking advice from [G] someone who just admitted to [D] being devious
Who just [Am] confessed to treason
[E] And I would also never [G] ask a question that I cannot [D] ask myself
Or it might dirty [Am] up your conscience
Cause [Em] I love you all because [G] I want to
But I [D] seem to need you all [Am] the time
You're [Em] all I love and I don't [G] even mind
Maybe [D] this is all _ [Am] a part of my _
_ [C] How can you say [Em] those things, why can't you just believe?
[C] How can you say those things [Em] and keep a straight face?
_ How can you say [Em] those things, why can't we just believe?
_ [C] How can you say those things [D] and keep a straight face?
[E] And I will turn off, [Em] and I will shut [F#] down
Burying the voices of my [C] conscience hitting ground
[E] And I will turn off, [G] and I will shut down
[D] The chemicals are restless in [Am] my head
Cause [Em] I love you all because [G] I want to
But I seem [D] to need you all the [Am] time
You're all I [Em] love and I don't [G] even mind
Maybe this [D] is all _ [Am] a part of my _ _
_ [Em] _ And if I could [G] control it, maybe I [D] could leave it all [Am] behind
You're all [Em] I love and I don't [G] even mind
Maybe this [D] is all a part of [Am] my _
Love [E] Design _ _ _ _ _ _
