[E]
[G] The truth is it was hate at first sight
barrel of a man with no real opinions
But with charm oozing from every pore
Just watch him glide across the floor
Does he turn left?
Will he turn right?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[G] The truth is it was hate at first sight
_ _ _ Staring down the barrel of a man with no real opinions _
But with charm oozing from every pore
_ Just watch him glide across the floor
_ Does _ he turn left? _
Will he turn right?
_ Checks himself in the mirror at least a thousand times a day
So where truth collides with fiction _ _
_ _ He stands before me the last remaining chin king [D] of England _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ fearless
_ _ _ _ _ Ruthless _
cheerless
_ _ _ clueless
[A] _
But [G] looking like a million dollars
_ _ _ The Emperor has got new clothes

[A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
stands accused [A] of being [G] socially inept some say rude aloof _
devoid of any real truth
_ [D] He lives in [Em] a world [Am] of self-doubt [Em] self-pity
[D] self-loathing [G] self-harm
[F#m] _ _ [Em] Voices inside his head [D] of playing [Em] Chinese whispers
As all around him play hide and seek _ _
_ _ _ But don't ask him to put a smile on the face [C] or to cheer up
[Em] Don't tell him it might never happen because you know what? _
It probably already did _ _ _
[C] Maybe show him [Em] some understanding
_ Give him time
Let [C] him breathe
[E] _ [Em] Let him live
_ Yeah, _ _ _ the Emperor [C] has got new [Em] clothes _ _

[Em] _ _ [A] _ [Em] _ what? _
The world ended yesterday
_ Today is just an action replay
_ And hell is wherever
_ Heaven is not _ _
So here I stand
_ The well [D]
-informed optimist who refuses to turn on [Em]
tune in and drop out
_ I refuse to lose control
I refuse to let it wash all over me
I refuse to succumb to what your vision of happy should [F#] look like [Em] because it certainly doesn't look [D] like you
[Em] And [D] when the sign [G] says stop
[F#m] That's when i'll [Em] go _
[D] Like a [Em] clean mean [G] medicated fighting machine
_ [Am] Who's all [Em] dressed up?
[D] Ready to disco [G] _ [Em] _ The Emperor
_ [G] Has got new clothes
