Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  change my color for you,
I  shed my coat with caution,
I  lack the beauty you display.
See  here they are the bruises
And  some were self inflicted
And  some showed up along the way.
So  I nod my head I’m ready for the world to see
The  secret I kept here inside the man you thought I’d be
Slipped  into coma calm
The  coma where I calm myself down
Here  comes excuses
Why  I let you down
 Stand by for another break down
 Sound off the alarm
 Is this the chameleon boy  I swore I wouldn’t become?
Chameleon  boy
Chameleon  boy
So  now we’ve come upon the hardest thing I’ve ever done,
It’s  telling you that I’m a mess.
What  sort of mess I mean this self destructing gasoline,
The  kind that strips you of your best.
And  while I play instead the way that most would end up dead,
 You sleep alone at home and wished that I were in our bed.
With  this I’m telling you my color changes back to blue,
How  do I ask you this, will you help me through?
 Stand by for another break down
 Sound off the alarm
  Is this the chameleon boy  I swore I wouldn’t become?
 Stand by for another break down
 Sound off the alarm
 Is this the chameleon boy I  swore I wouldn’t become?
Chameleon  boy
 Chameleon  boy
I  tried to think of all the people I looked up to
While  growing up who would I be
Now  the twisted part where did all my idols end up
They’ve  all passed away
Passed  away
Stand  by
 It’s the chameleon boy
Stand  by
 It’s the chameleon boy
 C and G
 Chameleon boy
 I’m chameleon boy
 Chameleon  boy
 I’m chameleon boy
