Special

• Verse 1

This is the synth (possibly bass?) riff played throughout:


I think these are all 5ths/power chords in the actual song, but have put the closest whole chord for
ease and people who would to use that. If not, just take each chord as 'x5'.

Verse 1
D#               C#
Nothing sinister starts out sober
D#                      C#
Sometimes the chemicals work me over
D#                      C#
The things you learn at 4am
D#               C#
When do I become who I am?
          D#
Save your blast from the past
        C#
This is not a mirage
       D#             C#
I'm a stolen car in a parking garage
        D#
On your hands and your knees
        C#
Do you feel in charge?
D#
Crawling back to who you were


Chorus
N.C.              D#
I just wanna feel good
             G#
I wanna feel special
    C#
Dig down
               G#
Underneath the pressure
        D#            G#
I wanna fake my pain away
        F#            G#
I wanna fake my pain away
                  D#    G# C#   G#
I just wanna feel good
                  D#   G#
I just wanna feel good
    F#
And fake my pain


Post-Chorus
N.C.
I just wanna feel good, good
N.C.
I just wanna feel g-


Verse 2
D#
Where does the time go?
C#
Here comes the heavy low
D#                     C#
I got two houses and a hungry hungry ego
D#               C#                   D#
Hard to make the best of a good thing now
C#                     D#                   C#
'Cause this town's too big, too big for the one of me
    D#                              C#
Sometimes you make friends with the enemy
         D#                     C#
Am I the one on the throne or a wannabe?
        D#
Are you crawling back to who you were?


Chorus
N.C.              D#
I just wanna feel good
             G#
I wanna feel special
    C#
Dig down
               G#
Underneath the pressure
        D#            G#
I wanna fake my pain away
        F#            G#
I wanna fake my pain away
                  D#    G# C#   G#
I just wanna feel good
                  D#   G#
I just wanna feel good
    F#
And fake my pain



Post-Chorus
N.C.
I just wanna feel good, good
N.C.
I just wanna feel good, good


Bridge
D#           C#
I just wanna wake up
      G#
Put a smile on my face
           D#
That isn't made up
D#                C#
Float just like a feather
   G#                                 D#
Or sink just like a stone thrown in a river


Chorus
N.C.              D#
I just wanna feel good
             G#
I wanna feel special
    C#
Dig down
               G#
Underneath the pressure
        D#            G#
I wanna fake my pain away
        F#            G#
I wanna fake my pain away
                  D#
I just wanna feel good


Outro
             G#
I wanna feel special
         C#                   G#
When the hell is it gonna get better?
                  D#     G#
I just wanna feel good
    F#
And fake my pain
N.C.              D#
I just wanna feel good
