[Verse 1]

 G              C               D
Talk amongst the skeletons this morning
 G              C               D
Aside from all the medicine and health
   Em                    C      G                    D
If you could do it all again, would you do it all the same?
     Em                      G                D
Is there something that you'd tell your former self?
           G                      C              D
There were those that wished they'd spun upon a jukebox
          G               C              D
There were pirates who had never seen the sea
    Em                C         G                D
But the one recurring theme, the one recurring dream they had
   Em             G           D
Was to be whatever they wanted to be
 
 
[Chorus]

     G           D
To be Pyotr Tchaikovsky
     G         C         D
To be free like everyone else
         G      C          D
There will be no flags to warn me
      Em       C           D
'Cause I just want to be myself
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]


    G          C            D
You'll let telephone in by a region
        G      C                  D
Is there any advice that you could give?
    Em                       C                       Em
When you know you're not like them, Do you know La Varsovienne?
     Em                                           D
I know that I am living, but can you show me how to live
 
 
[Chorus]

       G          D
And the Holy Roman Army
         G             C           D
Said your heart beats like everyone else
         G       C          D
You don't need no flags to tell you who you are
  Em     C          D      G
I just want to be myself

          G              D
There's an aura that surrounds me
         G         C         D
There's a different kind of wealth
      G         C          D
And I don't need flags to know you're really something
   G      C            D
And I just love you for yourself
   G      C            D
Oh, I just love you for yourself
