[Ponte 1]
E
Now this is the part of the song
Ab
Where I like to talk to my audience
Dbm
I like to tell 'em there's something I want
A
From you hep cats tonight
E
I want you to look to your left
Ab
Look to your right
Your 12 o'clock, three o'clock, six o'clock
Dbm A
Nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight
E
And I want you to find those points of no return
Ab
Those singularities, those burning rings of fire
Dbm
In the beautiful pupils and the beautiful eyes
A
Of the beautiful boy, girl, neither, both
E
Or in-between that you brought with you tonight
Ab
And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel
Dbm A
I want you to love the way they so seamlessly
E
Like a dream for me
Ab
So beautifully, oh so dutifully
Dbm
Jam that square peg in the
A
Round hole in their hearts!
E
I want you to tell 'em that you love the way
Ab Dbm
That they don't stick out like sore middle fingers
A
That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve
E
Stick their flag in the peak
Ab
And slide their way back down!
Dbm
I want you to tell them that you love the way
A
That they're not maladaptive
Not malcontent
E
Not malignant or maleficent
Ab
But rather that you love them
Dbm
Exactly the way that everybody else is!
[Ponte 2]
A B
I was nothing before
E Dbm
So I couldn’t have asked to be born
A B
I'll be nothing again
E Dbm
So what am I between now and then?
A B
Is there nothing to fear?
Ab Dbm
Cause shit's getting weird!
Gbm
So to God who made this man
B C
You better have one hell of a plan!
[Refrão]
F A

Dm Bb
