Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a [F#] star?
[F#m] [F#]
I tried to be a boy
I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess
I tried [C#] to be the best
I guess [E] I did it [C#] wrong
That's why I wrote [B] this song
[D] This life of [F#] modern life, is it for me?
This life of modern life, is it for free?
So, I went into a bar
Looking for sympathy
A little company
I tried to find a [C#] friend
[C#m] It's more easily said
It's [B] always been the same
[D] This life of [F#m] modern life, is it for me?
This life of modern [D] [F#m] life, is it for free?
American [C#m] life
[F#m] [C#m] You
[Bm] are a blessing [C#m] of sin
[Bm] You are [C#m] nature's disease
[F#m]
[F#] I tried to stay ahead
I tried to stay on top
I tried to play the part
But somehow I [C#] forgot
Just what [E] I did [C#] it for
And why I want [B] it more
[D] This life [F#m] of modern life, is it for me?
This life of modern life, is it for free?
[D] I have to change my [F#] name
Will it get me far?
I'll lose [F#m] some weight
And I'm gonna be a star American [C#m] life
[F#m] I'm your American [C#m] dream
[A] [Bm] You are a blessing [C#m] of sin
You [Bm] are nature's [C#m] disease
[F#m] [Bm]
American life
[C#m] I [A] [F#] tried to be a boy
Tried to be a girl
Tried to be a mess
Tried to be [F#m] the best
Tried to find a friend
Tried to stay ahead
[F#m] Tried to stay on top
I'm drinking a Solate
I get a double shotte
It goes right through my body
And you know I'm satisfied
I drop my many people
And I'm feeling super duper
Yo, they tell me I'm a trooper
And you know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and Pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied
I'm digging on the isotopes
This metaphysics, she's just dope
And if all this can give me hope
You know I'm satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager
An agent and a chef
Three nannies and a [F#] sister
And a driver and a jet
A trainer [F#m] and a butler
And a bodyguard of five
A gardener and a stylist
Do you think I'm satisfied?
I'd like to express my extreme [F#m] point of view
I'm not a [F#m] Christian and I'm not a Jew
I'm just living out the American dream
[G#m] And I [F#m] just realized that nothing is what it seems
[F#] [F#m]
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a [F#] star?
[F#m] [F#]
