Material Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
I love material [G]But
everything I love so quickly [F]falls apart
Keep it to myself and in my [C]heart
And I'm only as sick as my [G]secret[F]s
So baby, tell me what is my weakness?
[C]I called a therapist,
[G]she sent me to a circle to sort [F]it out
I got my foot in my [C]mouth
My medicine stopped working
for [G]my sick [F]soul
Under the pressure, I [C]fold

[Verse 2]
And I opened up my [G]heart
and found a spiritual [F]void
[C]This is a spiritual world
I'm a ma[G]terial boy
[F]

[Verse 3]
[C]
And I opened up my [G]heart
and found a spiritual [F]void
[C]This is a spiritual world
I'm a ma[G]terial [F]boy

[Verse 4]
I'm a material boy
[C]Deeply American,
which [G]is to say I'm deeply [F]ashamed
I wonder what the world would [C]say
And I'm probably sick from
[G]my secrets[F]
Politically daft, but we're in deep shit
[C]Can't tell the circle that the red[G]
has got [F]me paranoid
Superiority keeps me [C]annoyed
It bears repeating that
I'm sick and [G]had to quit
[F]No longer Christian,
but I'm still afraid of [C]judgement

[Verse 5]
And I opened up my [G]heart
and found a spiritual [F]void
[C]This is a spiritual world
I'm a ma[G]terial boy
[F]

[Verse 6]
[C]
And I opened up my [G]heart
and found a spiritual [F]void
[C]This is a spiritual world
I'm [G]a material [F]boy

[Interlude 1]
I'm a material boy
[C][G][F]
[C]

[Verse 7]
I filled up my pocket[G]s
Checked all the [F]boxes
I couldn't escape
Still find myself [C]obnoxious
Prideful and godless
[G]Selfish and thoughtles[F]s
Capital dream for material boy
Then I went and I lost [C]it[G]
I went and lost [F]it all

[Verse 8]
[C]
And I opened up my [G]heart
and found a spiritual [F]void
[C]This is a spiritual world
I'm a ma[G]terial [F]boy

[Verse 9]
[F][C]
And I opened up my [G]heart and found
a spiritual [F]void
It's a spiritual world
I'm a material [C]boy
It's a spiritual world
I'm a ma[G]terial [F]boy
It's a spiritual world
I'm a material boy
