[Intro]
Bm
 
[Verse]
D            A          D
  Oh, it's a mystery to me
          D          G              A
We have a greed with which we have agreed
        G                 A                  Bm
And you think you have to want more than you need
  G               A                 Bm
Until you have it all, you won't be free
 
[Chorus]
     G                  D
Society, you're a crazy breed
                A              Bm
Hope you're not lonely without me
 
[Verse]
         D                  A                   D
When you want more than you have, you think you need
             D                   G                     A
And when you think more than you want, your thoughts begin to bleed
  G               A             Bm
I think I need to find a bigger place
                G                  A                    Bm
'Cause when you have more than you think, you need more space
 
[Chorus]
     G                  D
Society, you're a crazy breed
                A              Bm
Hope you're not lonely without me
     G           D
Society, crazy indeed
                A              Bm
Hope you're not lonely without me

[Verse]
        D               A                     D
There's those thinking, more-or-less, less is more
       D             G               A
But if less is more, how you keeping score?
          G               A                Bm
Means for every point you make, your level drops
G                   A                 Bm
  Kinda like you're starting from the top, you can't do that
 
[Chorus]
     G                  D
Society, you're a crazy breed
                A              Bm
Hope you're not lonely without me
     G           D
Society, crazy indeed
                A              Bm
Hope you're not lonely without me
     G                 D
Society, have mercy on me
                A              Bm
Hope you're not angry if I disagree
     G           D
Society, crazy indeed
                A                  Bm D
Hope you're not lonely...  without me
