Em
stupid
CG
And, in response, they've damaged your
D
eye
GDEm
But there is where the conflict must
end
CGA
Lest you both end up blind
[LOGAN, spoken]
Another song? Really?
[ROMAN]
GDEm
Sometimes the problems at play
CGD
Are not all plain to see
GDEm
So we lash out at our loved ones
CGA
Disregarding our bonds' sanctity
[PATTON]
GEm
There are several sides to us that may
D
seem abstract at first
GEm
Until we discover where everything
D
fits, and
GD
People can be like a half-missing
puzzle set;
CG
As we find the pieces
DA
Things make more and more sense!
[THOMAS, spoken]
G
Nice imagery, but I'm not sure I follow
[PATTON]
Well, I'll give you an example:
G
I had this problem where I'd often hide
my less-than-awesome feelings
G
So when I would feel like sobbing, I'd
just smile and crack jokes!
G
I thought that that was coping, only
joking
G
Never showing sadness
Hoping it would go away!
[LOGAN, spoken]
A
Did that work?
[PATTON, spoken]
G
Nope!
[PATTON]
G
I felt bad!
[ROMAN, spoken]
Aw, Pat...
[PATTON]
Em
It's okay
[THOMAS, spoken]
How's that?
[PATTON]
C
Everybody gets sad
DG
Even dads that have people to care for
C
And therefore
Em
You don't have to hide your pain
D
Life without rainy days
G
Is incomplete
[VIRGIL, spoken]
On the subject of storm clouds...
‘Cause, you know. You need. Storm
clouds to make. Rain
I'm just gonna get into it
G
You once knew me as real gloomy
G
This weird spooky, broody dude
G
'Cause I knew you'd listen to me
G
As too scary to ignore
G
I thought that I could take it
G
All the hate could just be shaken
G
But when you lo— care for someone
A
Not much hurts more than their scorn
G
I also felt bad
[ROMAN, spoken:]
Oh come now...
[VIRGIL]
Em
In a different way...
[THOMAS, spoken]
Different how?
[VIRGIL]
C
By bad I mean, well, mean
DG
But I did what I thought I had to
C
Which is bad too!
Em
I don't have to act all tough...
[THOMAS]
D
Sometimes love is enough...
[PATTON]
G
Or what we need!
[LOGAN, in patter song]
Em*
That was a quaint little review
B7*
Of things that we already knew
Em*
Now, can our discourse resume?
B7*
There's pressing matters at hand
[THOMAS, spoken]
Em
Actually, that was for your benefit
[LOGAN, spoken]
B7
I don't see how that could be relevant
[PATTON, spoken]
Em
Logan, please
[THOMAS, spoken]
Our goal's benelovent
[LOGAN, spoken]
B7
You know me; I don't care for sentiment
[ROMAN, spoken]
Em
OMG!
[LOGAN & THOMAS, in patter song]
Em
This serves as a testament
(This serves as a testament)
B7
To the fact
(To the fact)
That to me, you're negligent
(That you have a temperament,)
Em
Which is fine
(Which is fine.)
It just works to your detriment
(You just haven't accepted it.)
B7
You not letting me finish
(If you'd let them finish)
Is proving my—!
(They'd get to the—!)
[VIRGIL, spoken]
(Stop)
HEY!
[sung]
G*
You're lost
[LOGAN, spoken]
I'm right here
[VIRGIL]
Em*
It's okay
[LOGAN, spoken]
You're acting weird...
[VIRGIL]
C*
I was lost once, too
D*
But thanks to all of you
G*
Life sucks less, now...
[ROMAN, THOMAS & PATTON]
C*
We're your best pals!
[VIRGIL]
Em
No one wants to be a joke...
[ROMAN, THOMAS & PATTON]
D
But a life free of jokes
G
Is incomplete!
[ROMAN, spoken]
I'd also like to contribute to this weird, vent-ey song!
[THOMAS, spoken]
Please, do!
[ROMAN, in patter song]
G
I've got an issue
That feels like new-school;
G
I don't wanna say
I'm too cool
G
But I'm just too fab for you fools
And I feel like you don't get me!
[THOMAS, spoken]
G
You insulted us while venting?
[ROMAN, spoken]
Sorry!
[THOMAS, spoken]
It's alright, Princey
G
Honestly, it didn't hurt me
It's clear that
A
You're the one
That's hurting
[ROMAN, spoken]
Huh?
[VIRGIL]
G
You feel low
[ROMAN]
That's not true!
[PATTON]
Em
It's okay
[ROMAN, spoken]
Don't assume!
[THOMAS]
C
You don't need to save face
[VIRGIL]
D
In almost any case
[VIRGIL & PATTON]
G
We embrace you
[ROMAN, spoken]
That's rich
[VIRGIL]
C
No one hates you
[VIRGIL, THOMAS & PATTON]
Em
Everybody's got flaws
[THOMAS]
D
But with no you at all
G
I'm incomplete!
[ROMAN, VIRGIL, THOMAS & PATTON]
A
There!
F#m
Now you see!
D
Everybody goes wrong
E
And we put it in song
A
So it's easier
D
To hear it!
[PATTON]
F#m*
This puzzle's tough
I'll admit
E*
But in time
A*
We'll find where everything fits
