Kudos to the older tab, but this follows the 2020 official release. Will Wood changed the key a half-step for the verses and bridges, and added slightly different chords for the instrumental moments, so this should be accurate now. Updated lyrics for Bridge 1, as well. Enjoy.

[Intro]
E  G#  C#m  Am
E  B  A  E
 
 
[Verse 1]
   E               G#
In lipstick on the mirror,
        C#m           A
are the lyrics to my obituary
    E                 G#
In iambic pentameter, followed parameter,
C#m                      A
crossing my eyes, dot my T's
        E               G#
I was delivered holding scissors,
         C#m               A
I live deliberately, I’m a quitter
      C#m
And a winner anyway,
        F#m                B
cause I never agreed to participate in this game.
A              B
Won't follow my dreams,
            E                    C#m
no, they’ve all got me waking up screaming
        F#m
I can’t let them go for me,
      B                      C
after all there is no “I” in team
 
 
[Chorus]
                  F               A
And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
      Dm                    Bb
I suggest that we keep this informal
        F            A                 Dm   Bb
‘Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
                 F            A
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
       Dm                            Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya!
      F          Dm              Gm       C
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be, yeah yeah
Bb                C             F   A   Dm   Bbm
C’mon, c’mon, and love me normally
 
F  C  Bb  F Db
 
 
[Verse 2]
     E                   G#
If I could live in third person,
       C#m
well I don’t think life would be
     A
much worse than it is
       E
In the current tense, presently,
G#
this sentence ending with
C#m                        A
question marks or dot dot dot…
         E             G#
Is it courageous or escapist
             C#m                       A
to leave the quarantine when you’re contagious?
   F#m
It may just be a cold,
      B
and besides I don’t wanna get old yeah
A                  B
 I drank myself to death
          E                C#m
to be the afterlife of the party
         F#m
When the afterparty came,
      B             C
I was rolling in my grave
 
 
[Chorus]
                  F               A
And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
      Dm                    Bb
I suggest that we keep this informal
        F            A                 Dm  Bb
‘Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
                 F            A
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
       Dm                            Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya!
      F          Dm              Gm     C
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be, yeah yeah
Bb                C             F   A   Dm   Bbm
C’mon, c’mon, and love me normally
 
F  C  Bb  F Db
 
 
[Bridge 1]
E
  Now this is the part of the song
                G#
where I like to talk to my audience
C#m
  I like to tell 'em there's something I want
         A
from you hep cats tonight.
E
I want you to look to your left,
              G#
look to your right,
 
your 12 o'clock, three o'clock, six o'clock,
C#m                                       A
nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight
                                               E
And I want you to find those points of no return,
                                    G#
those singularities, those burning rings of fire
                      C#m
in the beautiful pupils and the beautiful eyes
                 A
of the beautiful boy, girl, neither, both,
                        E
or in-between that you brought with you tonight.
                         G#
And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel.
        C#m                        A
I want you to love the way they so seamlessly,
       E
like a dream for me,
              G#
so beautifully, oh so dutifully
C#m
 jam that square peg in the
A
round hole in their hearts!
 
E
I want you to tell 'em that you love the way
G#                                               C#m
that they don't stick out like sore middle fingers
                                  A
That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve,
            E
stick their flag in the peak,
        G#
and slide their way back down!
                                 C#m
I want you to tell them that you love the way
                     A
that they're not maladaptive,
 
not malcontent,
E
 not malignant or maleficent,
G#
 but rather that you love them
  C#m
exactly the way that everybody else is!
 
 
[Bridge 2]
A                 B
 I was nothing before
       E                     C#m
so I couldn’t have asked to be born.
A                B
 I'll be nothing again,
        E           C#m
so what am I between now and then?
A                    B
 Is there nothing to fear?
      G#           C#m
Cause shit's getting weird!
      F#m
So to God who made this man,
           B                  C
you better have one hell of a plan!
 
 
[Chorus]
                  F               A
And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
     Dm                       Bb
I suggest that we keep this informal
        F            A              Dm      Bb
Cause a normal human being wouldn't need, no,
                 F             A
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
       Dm                            Bb
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya!
      F           Dm                     Gm     C
To be normal in a way that I could never be, yeah
Bb                  C
C’mon, c’mon, yeah, I said c’mon, yeah.
Bb                  Dm
C’mon, c’mon, yeah, I said c’mon, yeah!
Bb                C            F
C’mon, c’mon, and love me normally!
  A        Dm         Bbm
Woah, yeah yeah, woah yeah
 
Bb                C
C’mon, c’mon, and love me...

i’d suggest using a7 instead of just a on the chorus, otherwise it’s such a good tab!! :)

The first chord in the second bridge just doesent match at all. Even if i try to pitch my voice differently to match it, it goes flat with the other chords played. I just wanted to let you know. I hope you have a nice day and figure out how to fix it
