D G 3x

[Verse 1]
D        G        A     D
Why do I deny all that's accepted true?

Why can't I live my life like I'm expected to?
      A         D           A     D
Get a college degree, buy a color TV?

Oh what's exactly the matter with me?

[Verse 2]
          D           G            A           D
I believe no one's conclusions, I think for myself
        Hm          F#m         G                  A
I take nothing for granted, my brain ain't on the shelf
     A      D              A             D
I've got my views though I may sound confused

Oh what's exactly the matter with me?

[Verse 3]
          D        G       A          D
Why can't I settle down in one little place?
Hm        F#m          G           A
Find me a girl and get out of this race?
        A            D          A           D
But, my boots start itching, my eyes start looking
   F#m       A         C   G       D
Oh what's exactly the matter with me?

[Verse 4]
D           G          D            G
Why can't I march when the cause is just?
Hm        F#m         G          A
Stamp out oppression, greed and lust?
    A         D    A     D
Oh, inferiority, insecurity
      F#m       A        C   G       D
Yeah, that's exactly the matter with me

[Verse 5]
    D          G      D         G
Why do I "yes" people that I despise?
          Hm       F#m        G            A
Why can't I say "I hate you" right to your eyes?
    A         D          A       D
Oh, inferiority, pent up hostility
      F#m       A        C   G       D
Yeah, that's exactly the matter with me

[Outro]
F#m      A         C    G      D
That's exactly the matter with me
