Em 
Are we crazy? 
                    Am 
Living our lives through a lens 
                      C 
Trapped in our white picket fence, like ornaments 
    G 
So comfortable, we're living in a bubble, bubble 
    Bm 
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble 
 
            Em 
Aren't you lonely? 
            Am 
Up there in utopia 
                         C 
Where nothing will ever be enough 
 
Happily numb 
    G 
So comfortable, we're living in a bubble, bubble 
    Bm 
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble 
 
Pré-Chorus: 
C      D  G 
      So put 
                    Em 
Your rose-colored glasses on 
     Bm 
And party on 
 
 Em 
Turn it up, it's your favorite song 
 
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion 
 Am 
Turn it up, keep it on repeat 
                                   C 
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie 
 
YEAH! We think we're free, drink, this one's on me 
      G                           Bm 
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm 
 
 Em 
Turn it up, it's your favorite song 
 
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion 
 Am 
Turn it up, keep it on repeat 
                                   C 
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie 
 
YEAH! We think we're free, drink, this one's on me 
      G                            Bm                    Em 
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm 
 
 
verse 2: 
        Em 
Are we tone deaf? 
                    Am 
Keep sweeping it under the mat 
                        C 
Thought we could do better than that 
   
I hope we can 
    G 
So comfortable, we're living in a bubble, bubble 
    Bm 
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
C      D  G 
      So put 
                    Em 
Your rose-colored glasses on 
     Bm 
And party on 
 
 Em 
Turn it up, it's your favorite song 
 
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion 
 Am 
Turn it up, keep it on repeat 
                                   C 
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie 
 
YEAH! We think we're free, drink, this one's on me 
      G                            Bm 
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm 
 
 Em 
Turn it up, it's your favorite song 
 
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion 
 Am 
Turn it up, keep it on repeat 
                                   C 
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie 
 
YEAH! We think we're free, drink, this one's on me 
      G                           Bm 
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm 
 
Bridge: 
Am 
It is my desire 
  C 
Break down the walls to connect, inspire 
Em 
Up in your high place, liars 
 D 
Time is ticking for the empire 
  Am 
The truth they feed is feeble 
       C 
As so many times before 
       Em 
They greed over the people 
       D 
They stumbling and fumbling and we about to riot 
 
They woke up, they woke up the lions 
 
 Em 
Turn it up, it's your favorite song 
 
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion 
 Am 
Turn it up, keep it on repeat 
                                   C 
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie 
 
YEAH! We think we're free, drink, this one's on me 
      G                            Bm 
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm 
 
        Em 
It goes on, and on, and on 
        Am 
It goes on, and on, and on 
        C 
It goes on, and on, and on 
           ( G ) ( D ) 
'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm
