Love Me Normally Chords

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...
N.C.
...normally.

i’d suggest using a7 instead of just a on the chorus, otherwise it’s such a good tab!! :)
+6

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
