[Verse 1]

Am7                              D            G
Well, I was walkin’ through some shops at the mall
G
A gold Versace watch was hangin’ up on the wall
Am7 D
And no, I didn’t have the money to ball
C G Em
So I thought about takin’ it
Am7 D G
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head
G
I walk outside and jack a Mercedes Benz
Am7 C
Go drivin’ down the 5 and even though it’s pretend
G
Maybe I’m a maniac

[Pre-Chorus]

Em            Fmaj7                       F
If it were illegal to have evil in the mind
G
And they cut me open

Wonder, would they be surprised?
F
Or are there other people that are equally inclined
G F
To think about the heinous things I think about

[Chorus]

G           Am
Is it only me?
C F G Am C F
Is it unnatural to, to have these thoughts sometimes?
G C F
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
G Am
Oh, if they could read my mind
G F
Would they lock me up for life?
G Am7
Lock me up for life?
C F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
G Am
Lock me up for life?
G
Mmmm

[Verse 2]

Am                                    D
There’s things I wouldn’t even say to my shrink
G Em
'Cause I’m ashamed of what the doctor would think
Am7 D
Like when I felt alone and hated my life
G Em
So I thought about takin’ it
Am D
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head
G Em
Next to my casket were some family and friends
Am D
And even though I know that’s not how it ends
G Em
There was no shakin’ it

[Pre-Chorus]

                 F
If they forced a needle through a cortex in my brain
G
Wonder what they’d think, that maybe I had gone insane
F
Or are there other people that are equally deranged
G F
And think about the heinous things I think about

[Chorus]

G          A
Is it only me?
C F G Am C

Is it unnatural to, to have these thoughts sometimes?

I’m not coming home from jail

I’m so sorry
Am F G

And tell my father not to bother
Em Am

Waste a dollar on my bill
