| E | Am |
[Verse 1]
E Am
I stood up on the stage
E Am
I started to sing my song
E Am
I said "I can rectify
F#m
Everything that's wrong"
[Chorus]
B G#m C#m
And I couldn't understand why people laughed
F#m E
I couldn't understand
G#m C#m
I collected my things and I left
F#m B
Because now I understand, I understand
[Verse 2]
E Am
I moved across the stage
E Am
I sang loud and proud in time
E Am
I said "I look into animals eyes
F#m B
And I see mine, I see mine"
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
And I couldn't understand why people laughed
F#m E
I couldn't understand
G#m C#m
I collected my things and I left
F#m B
Because now I understand, I understand
[Verse 3]
E Am
Spotlit on the stage
E Am
For the whole world to see
E Am
I said "I am she
F#m B
And hе is me, he is me"
[Instrumental]
| G#m | C#m | F#m | E |
| G#m | C#m | F#m | B |
[Verse 4]
E Am
In full flight on thе stage
E Am
I am now so poorly lit
E Am
I sing it because I
F#m B
Could never speak it, I could never speak it
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
And I couldn't understand why people laughed
F#m E
I couldn't understand
G#m C#m
I collected my things and I left
F#m B
Because now I understand, I understand
[Outro]
E Am
I froze up on the stage
E Am
The soul open wide
E Am
And people laughed so hard that they cried
