Verse 1: (while doing the bass)
    Bm
I'm sitting in a room
                F#m
Made up of only big white walls and in the halls
        Bm
There's people looking through
                       F#m
The window though they know exactly what we're here for
Em
Don't look up Just let them think
        A                   F#m(hold)
There's no place else You'd rather be
       Bm
You're always on display
                          F#m
For everyone to watch and learn from
          Em                         D   A
Don't you know by now You can't turn back
        Em   D/F#    G   A      D    F#
Because this road is all you'll ever have


Chorus:
Bm                             G      Em F#
  And it's obvious that you're dying, dy-ing
Bm                           G        Em F#
  Just living proof that the camera's ly-ing
    G    Em                        G
And open wide, 'cause this is your night
   A             F#(hold)
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style


(Repeat Intro)
You'll go out in style


Verse 2:
       Bm
If you let me I could
                    F#m
I'd show you how to build your fences
                  Bm
Set restrictions, separate from the world
                            F#m
Because the ground that you hate to fight
                         Em
Just blame the limelight Don't look up
                            A
Just let them think There's no place else
                    Em                 D   A
You'd rather be and now you can't turn back
        Em   D/F#    G   A      D    F#
Because this road is all you'll ever have


(Repeat Chorus except last line)
  F#(hold)
So smile,

With every breath that you breathe in
     A

Em                              G
  Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
