[Verse 1]
A
It’s all the same every day,
A
Always catching my breath,
A
Tryna stay in a lane,
A
But keep failing the test,
A
I like the clouds in my brain,
A
And the weight on my chest,
A
So gimme love, gimme hate,
A
Give me all of the rest,
[Pre-Chorus]
A7A
Oh, I can’t hear what you’re saying,
A7A
Oh, I don’t care what you’re playing,
N.C.
Sing it.
[Chorus]
AGDA
Maybe I’m a loser maybe love is dead,
CGDA
But Im’ma keep on dancing to the drum in my head,
AGDA
Everybody talking I can’t hear what they said,
CGDA
Ya, I’m too busy dancing to the drum in my head, my head.
[Interlude]
A
Pa, da, da . . .
A
Pa, da, da . . .
[Verse 2]
A
I got my hands in the air,
A
And my feet on the ground,
A
So you can point, you can stare,
A
Nothing’s bringing me down,
A
You can go sit in your chair,
A
Just a face in the crowd,
A
So gimme love, gimme hate,
A
I’m just feeling me now.
[Pre-Chorus]
A7A
Oh, I can’t hear what you’re saying,
A7A
Oh, I don’t care what you’re playing,
N.C.
Sing it.
[Chorus]
AGDA
Maybe I’m a loser maybe love is dead,
CGDA
But Im’ma keep on dancing to the drum in my head,
AGDA
Everybody talking I can’t hear what they said,
CGDA
Ya, I’m too busy dancing to the drum in my head, my head.
CGDA
I’m too busy dancing to the drum in my head, my head.
[Interlude]
A
Pa, da, da . . .
A
Pa, da, da . . .
[Bridge]
A
Everybody’s turning into somebody else,
A
I’m just out here trying to find out how to tune into myself,
A
(Pa, da, da . . .)
A
Tune into myself.
A
(Pa, da, da . . .)
A
I been tryna hide it but it’s bad for my health,
A
I’m just out here trying to find out how to dance with myself.
[Chorus]
AGDA
Maybe I’m a loser maybe love is dead,
CGDA
But Im’ma keep on dancing to the drum in my head,
AGDA
Everybody talking I can’t hear what they said,
CGDA
Ya, I’m too busy dancing to the drum in my head, my head.
CGDA
I’m too busy dancing to the drum in my head,
N.C.
I’m too busy dancing to the drum in my head.
