D (strum for intro)
[Verse]
I was Draised up believing
I was Gsomehow unique
Like a Dmaj7snowflake distinct among snowflakes
UniGque in each way you can Dsee
And now after some thinking
I'd say GI'd rather be
A Dmaj7functioning cog in some great machinery
GServing something beyond Dme
[Chorus]
But I Ddon't, I don't knowwwwwwwwww what that will G*be
I'll get Dback G*to you Dsomeday, G*sooooooon, you will Dsee
[Verse]
What's my Dname, what's my station
Oh, just Gtell me what I should do
I don't Dmaj7need to be kind to the armies of night
That would Gdo such injustice to Dyou
Or bow down, and be grateful
And say "GSure, take all that you see"
To the Dmaj7men who move only in dimly lit halls
And detGermine my future for mDe
[Chorus]
But I Ddon't, I don't knowwwwwwwwww who to belG*ieve
I'll get Dback G*to you Dsomeday, G*sooooooon, you will Dsee
[Verse]
If I Dknow only one thing
It's that Geverything that I see
Of the Dmaj7world outside is so inconceivable
GOften I barely can Dspeak
Yeah, I'm tongue tied and dizzy
And I cGan't keep it to myself
What Dmaj7good is it to sing helplessness blues?
Why should GI wait for anyone Dmaj7else?
[Chorus]
And I Dknow, I knowwww, youuuuu will keep me on the G*shelf
I'll come Dback G*to you Dsomeday, G*soooooooon, mysG*elf
