Pleaser

Intro: 
F# B F# B 
F#/Bb Bmaj7 F# Bmaj7 

 
F#     B     F#     Bmaj7 
Why does the menu always lie? 
F#/C#     B     C#     B 
And why did I take a dozen trains underdressed for a hurricane? 
F#/Bb      Bmaj7     C#     B 
And I'm gonna love this place I hear 
F#                 B               C#             B 
So I start toying with my glass and smile like an overpass 
F#                    B               C#             B 
Certain things feel smooth to me, going in and out like steam through pipes 
F#                 B               F#             B 
But this is such an old machine that I let vapor cool to ice 
F#                 Bmaj7               C#             B 
I don't think you see the freeze, but still, I bet you wonder why 
F#                 B               F#             B 
I came here in a hurricane just to leave before I dry 
 

 
F#                 B               C#             B 
Am I meant to a pleaser? Was I born to keep you sane? 
F#/Bb                 B               C#             B 
I know I can make it easier, that's never been my way 
F#/C#                 B               C#             B 
I don't wanna be your mirror or a pretty piggy bank 
F#/Bb                   B               C#             B 
No one's smashing me to pieces, nothing here for you to claim 
 

 
F#/C#         B      F#     B 
Which part of me was always you? 
F#                        B              F#               B 
It's not the one you're staring at, it's calling for you from the back 
F#/Bb         B      C#     B 
And yet, it's the bit I'm turning to 
F#                        B              F#               B 
The metal chair I'm sitting in, the bonds I've long been living in 
F#            B               F#               Bmaj7 
So what am I supposed to do? Should I let you go down the drain 
F#                      B 
And pull me there, held by my hair? 
F#/Bb                   Bmaj7 
'Cause it's not better than the rain 
F#                   Bmaj7 
And when you are one thing at first 
F#/C#           B 
Molded by an empty hand 
   F#             B               F#/Bb         Bmaj7 
Do you become its very worst, or do you start again? 
 

 
     F#         B 
Am I meant to a pleaser? 
       C#/Ab          Bmaj7 
Was I born to keep you sane? 
       F#/C#           Bmaj7 
I know I can make it easier 
       F#            Bmaj7 
That's never been my way 
        F#            B 
I don't wanna be your mirror 
     C#           B 
Or a pretty piggy bank 
        F#/Bb          Bmaj7            C#/Ab           B 
No one's smashing me to pieces, nothing here for you to claim

Or a pretty piggy bank 
         B              F#                    C#         B 
No one's smashing me to pieces, they're just lying in my wake 
    F#    B    C        B 
Oh, oh
