| 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
