Tom: C
C Fmaj7 C
'Cause he told the jokes in hopes to cover up his pain
Fmaj7 C
All he ever wanted was to fit in with the crowd
Fmaj7 C
Though he never did, the crowd would become a familiar sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
He couldn't see all that he'd become
Fmaj7 C
And in times of weakness, strength would come
Fmaj7
He planted seeds, but watered weeds
C Dm C G
It only left him thirsty, but I'm all I need to succeed
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7 C
I was searching in a landfill for authenticity
Fmaj7
Oh- oo- oo, ay-ay-ay
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
I was smelling plastic roses, expecting something sweet
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 C
Nobody ever thought much of the sad boy writing songs
Fmaj7 C
'Cause it takes the trophies and green paper till they tag along
Fmaj7 C
When he had no voice, nobody even knew his name
Fmaj7 C
But in five years time, they'll all claim that fat kid in 5th grade
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
I was searching in a landfill for authenticity
Oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
I was smelling plastic roses, expecting something sweet
Outro: [One strum each]
C Fmaj7
But sometimes searching in a landfill is exactly what you need
