What is your aspiration in life
Em

It's the soul that needs a surgery ■

[Bridge]
                                                   G#m 
Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
                                                 B   
The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body

It's the soul it's the soul that needs surgery ■ ■  


[Verse]
                                               G#m
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
                                                      Em  
Then you break when the fake façade leaves you in the dark
                                                    F#        B   
You left with shattered mirrors and the shards of a beautiful girl


[Chorus]
C#m         
Pretty hurts
   G#m                F#              
We shine the light on whatever's worst
B               C#m          G#m   
Perfection is a disease of a nation
F#                        B
Pretty hurts pretty hurts ■
B           
Pretty hurts
   C#m   G#m F#           B               
We shine ■   the light on whatever's worst
   C#m                                        G#m          
We tryna fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
         G#m                      
It's the soul that needs a surgery
B                        C#m7    
When you're alone all by yourself
    C#m    G#m              
And you're lying in your bed
F#         B                 C#m
Reflection stares right into you
              G#m           F#
Are you happy with yourself ■ 
             B        C#m       
You stripped away the masquerade
                 G#m      
The illusion has been shed
F#         B          C#m     
■  Are you happy with yourself
C#m7          G#m          
Are you happy with yourself
