Special

verse 1 
Bm                   A         G   A 
Hurry up before you go and get old 
Bm                     A         G  A 
Hurry up before your blood runs cold 
Bm                    A        G    A 
None of us were ever meant to stay 
Bm                    A        G    A 
We're all gonna find that one day 

Pre-Chorus 
        Bm                  A              G   A 
You see life's too short to run it like a race 
        Bm                         A          E 
So it's never gonna matter if you win first place 
E/G# 
Cause we're all the same 

G                     D                 Bm 
Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame 
       A 
Cause you're not special 
G                  D              Bm 
I'm not trying to rain on your parade 
     A 
But you're not special 
G                  D 
I'm not trying to bring you down 
Bm                 A 
           G 
I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual 
    A 
But you're not special 

Bm D G A 

verse 2 
Bm                  A            G   A 
Hurry up before the bottle kicks in 
Bm                         A        G  A 
Before the poison and the pain sets in 

Pre-Chorus 
Bm                                     A       G   A 
If you take it down a notch and you let me explain 
Bm                        A        E 
That on this earth we are all the same 
E/G# 
And all I can say is 

G                     D                 Bm

I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual 
    A

But you're not special 

Bridge 
G 
We all live to lie We all fall apart 
Bm 
We all go to war For the faint of heart 
A 
Instead we're condescending 
A 
                  Bm 
There are no happy endings 
G 
I won't hold my breath I won't cast a doubt 
Bm 
I'd never sell you out 
A 
But I'll give you one last chance to own it 
A/C# 
Cause you're not a god or a poet so 

G                     D                 Bm 
Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame 
       A 
Cause you're not special 
G                  D              Bm 
I'm not trying to rain on your parade 
     A 
But you're not special 
G                  D 
I'm not trying to bring you down 
Bm                 A
