Would be to be happy

Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts, pretty hurts

Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
B                 F#                           G#m
Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
E
It's the soul that needs the surgery

Blonder hair, flat chest

South beach, sugar free

E
It's the soul that needs the surgery


  F#
Ain't got no doctor, no computer can take the pain away

The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body
   E
It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery
   F#
It's my soul that needs surgery
 
   F#
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
   G#m
And you break when the paper sign leaves you in the dark
   E                                                       E
You left a shattered mirror and the shards of a beautiful girl

NO CHORD
It's the soul that needs the surgery


         B                  F#
When you're alone all by yourself
            G#m             E
And you're lying in your bed
               B                  F#
Reflection stares right into you
              G#m             E
Are you happy with yourself
             B                  F#
It's just a way to masquerade
             G#m             E
The illusion that's been shed
           B                  F#
Are you happy with yourself?
          G#m             E  
Are you happy with yourself?, yes
