[Verse 1]
   F               A
In lipstick on the mirror
        Dm           Bb
Are the lyrics to my obituary
    F                 A
In iambic pentameter, follow parameters
Dm                       Bb
Crossing my eyes, dot my t's
        F               A
I was delivered holding scissors
         Dm                Bb
I live deliberately, I’m a quitter
      Dm
And a winner anyway
        Gm                 C
Cause I never agreed to participate in this game
Bb              C                 F                    Dm
Won't follow my dreams cause they all got me waking up screaming
        Gm
I can’t let them go for me
      C
After all, there's no I in team

[Chorus]
                  F
And I'd rather be normal
        A
Yes, so normal
     Dm                       Bb
I suggest that we keep this informal
        F            A              Dm    Bb
Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
                 F
To pretend to be normal
      A
To be normal
       Dm                            Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
      F           Dm             Gm   C
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be
Bb              C             F  A  Dm  Bb
C’mon c’mon and love me normally

[Verse 2]
     F             A                    Dm                             Bb
If I could live in third person, well I don’t think life would be much worse than it is
       F                         A                       Dm                N.C.
In the current tense, presently, this sentence ending in question marks or dot dot dot
      F               A                   Dm                        Bb
Is it courageous or escapist to leave the quarantine when you’re contagious?
   Dm
It may just be a cold
    Gm                        C
And besides I don’t wanna get old yeah
Bb                C               F                Dm
I drank myself to death to be the afterlife of the party
         Gm                     C
When the afterparty came, I was rolling in my grave

[Chorus]
                  F
And I'd rather be normal
        A
Yes, so normal
     Dm                       Bb
I suggest that we keep this informal
        F            A              Dm    Bb
Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
                 F
To pretend to be normal
      A
To be normal
       Dm                            Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
      F           Dm             Gm   C
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be
Bb              C             F  A  Dm  Bb
C’mon c’mon and love me normally

[Spoken]
F       A       Dm       Bb
Now this is the part of the song where I talk to my audience.
F       A       Dm       Bb
I like to tell 'em there's something I want from you hep cats tonight.
F       A       Dm       Bb
I want you to look to your left, look to your right, your 12 o'clock, three o'clock, six o'clock,
F       A       Dm       Bb
nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight.
F       A       Dm       Bb
And I want you to find those points of no return, those singularities, those event horizons,
F       A       Dm       Bb
those burning rings of fire in the beautiful pupils and the beautiful eyes of the beautiful boy, girl,
F       A       Dm       Bb
neither, both, or in-between that you brought with you tonight.
F       A       Dm       Bb
And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel.
F       A       Dm       Bb
I want you to tell 'em that you love the way that they don't stick out like sore middle fingers.
F       A       Dm       Bb
That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve, stick their flag in the peak,
F       A       Dm       Bb
and slide their way back down. I want you to tell them that you love the way that they're not maladaptive,
F       A       Dm       Bb
not malcontent, not malignant or maleficent,
F       A       Dm       Bb
but rather that you love them...exactly the way that everybody else is.

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb              C
I was nothing before so
  F                         Dm
I couldn’t have asked to be born
Bb               C             F                Dm
I'll be nothing again, so what am I between now and then?
Bb                  C
Is there nothing to fear
      F              Dm
Cause shit's getting weird
      Gm
So to God who made this man
           C
You better have one hell of a plan

[Chorus]
                  F
And I'd rather be normal
        A
Yes, so normal
     Dm                       Bb
I suggest that we keep this informal
        F            A              Dm    Bb
Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
                 F
To pretend to be normal
      A
To be normal
       Dm                            Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
      F           Dm             Gm   C
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be
Bb                C
C'mon c'mon yeah, I said come on yeah
Bb                C
C'mon c'mon yeah, I said come on yeah
Bb                    C             F  A  Dm
