Lyrics

Look at (Gsus2)his t’ry, o pen (Dsus2)the books. There are stat ues with (Bbsus2)great looks. There are gods, there are (Dsus2)kings; I’m pret ty sure I’m the (Bbsus2)same thing. Be yond bound ’ries, be yond (Dsus2)rules; I’ve been (Fsus2)taught in the best (Bbsus2)schools. There is lit tle I won’t (Dsus2)do. Is the same thing true of (Bbsus2)you? I am need ing so much more; ev ’ry (Gm)pleas ure is a bore. I am some thing oth er than a com mon man; I’m not a com mon man. I do sus (C)pect I’m one of (Gm13)few. I can show you some thing (G5)new.
