 Lie number one: You're supposed to have it all together  
               B              F#  
 And when they ask how you're doing  
      G#m                F#      E       F#  
 Just smile and tell them "Never better"  
B           F#        G#m            F#        E          F#

              B               F#              G#m

I say, "I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine"  
    E              F#  
But I'm not, I'm broken  
              B         F#              G#m        F#  
And when it's out of control I say it's under control  
    E                F#  
But it's not and You know it  
  E                                F#  
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it

  G#m         F#         E         F#  
 "Come as you are" but I doubt it  
              B                    F#  
 'Cause if we lived like that was true,  
       G#m            F#           E       F#  
 Every Sunday morning pew would be crowded

 More like a hospital?
