[Intro]
Dmaj7 Bsus2/G# C#m9 B
C#m9 B
[Verse 1]
C#m9Takin' inventory of his life
Seein' snapshots chronologically inline
Something told him Bhe should look around and tidy up
He collected many things but never quite enough
Tried C#m9lookin' at it from a new perspective
Flat on his back but he still heard the directive
Orders from that Bcorner where that shadow always lived
Never asked permission, he just hopes that they forgive
I don't want to Ego like this
[Chorus]
At least C#m9let me clean my room
I don't want to G#mleave like this
'Cause the F#last thing I want to do is
EMake my people make decisions, C#m9wonderin' what to do, oh
BShould they keep it on display
F# Or redecorate?
[Verse 2]
C#m9Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it
She's not afraid of her reflection
But of what she might see behind it
She had plans to change her name, yeah
Just not the traditional way, yeah
Haunted by a couple big mistakes
She covers all the dents with the way she decorates
Then one night she got cold with no blankets on her bed
So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said
I don't want to Ego like this
[Chorus]
At least C#m9let me clean my room
I don't want to G#mleave like this
'Cause the F#last thing I want to do is
EMake my people make decisions, C#m9wonderin' what to do, oh
BShould they keep it on display
F# Or redecorate?
[Verse 3]
Bsus2/G# With the C#m9bells and the C#m9whistles scaled back
Like an isolatedC#m9 track
C#m9And he feels trapped when he's not inebriaC#m9ted
Fair to say C#m9he's fairly sedated most days of the week
EHe might have made it if G#mhe lived on a different C#m9street
I repeat, scaled back and isoC#m9lated
He C#m9says he likes an open schedule, but he mostly C#m9hates it
If you're C#m9running to his room, take a breath before you C#m9breakin
Put your C#m9ear up to the door, tell me can you hear him saying?
BI don't want to Ego like this
[Pre-Chorus]
At least C#m9let me clean my room
I don't want to G#mleave like this
'Cause the F#last thing I want to do is
EMake my people make decisions, C#m9wondering what to do, oh
BShould they keep it on display
F# Or redecorate?
I don't want to Ego like this
[Chorus]
At least C#m9let me clean my room
I don't want to G#mleave like this
'Cause the F#last thing I want to do is
EMake my people make decisions, C#m9wondering what to do, oh
BShould they keep it on display
F# Or redecorate?
[Outro]
E C#m9 B F# Or redecorate?
E C#m9 B F# Or redecorate? D#5
