verse 1 

      Am          F           C/G 
Who am I? What am I? What’s inside? 
       E7              Am 
That’s causing this Malfunction 
    F          C/G       E7  
Mislabeled, unable, To repair this Mal- 

Bridge 

F                G         Am 
Functioning just fine, I’m alive 
        F           G               Am 
At this junction of dysfunction, We arrive 

Chorus 

              F 
What’s your Malfunction? 
          G               Am                       F 
Don’t be scared, It don’t matter how you wear your hair 
              F 
What’s your Malfunction? 
          G               Am                    F 
Find its mirth, perfect’s a bore for what it’s worth 

F             G 
Gold, silver, copper, bronze 
    Am                F 
The dullest metal can still be strong 

F                     G 
Well we might have our share of ticks 
Am                      F 
But honey that’s how we get our kicks 


F            G            Am 
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away 
F            E7            Am 
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away 
   F            C/G            E7 
Malfunction! Malfunction! Malfunction! 

verse 2 

Am           F        C/G 
My function’s desire 
                    E7                  Am 
Climb higher than a spider on the wire 
            F         C/G 
You function in mirth 
                      E7 
But that sector might need rebirth 

Am 
I’m about to pick you up 
F 
get you back up on your feet 
C/G 
you don’t need to worry love 
E7 
Even if we’re incomplete 

Am 
Come on baby open up 
F 
Pull out the wires and trim the fluff 
C/G 
Be yourself sounds so cliche 
E7 
But hey let's do it anyway 

Bridge 

      F                G           Am 
We’re functioning just fine, we’re alive 
        F             G                Am 
At this junction of dysfunction we are arrive 


              F 
What’s your Malfunction? 
          G               Am                       F 
Don’t be scared, It don’t matter how you wear your hair 
              F 
What’s your Malfunction? 
          G               Am                    F 
Bring it forth, perfect’s a bore for what it’s worth 

F              G 
Curvy, skinny, or bizarre 
Am                F 
The best shape is who you are 

F                         G 
Raise your hand if you’re not from a mold (yeah me) 
Am                       F 
Varied strings are worth more than gold 
  
F            G            Am 
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away 
F            E7            Am 
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away 
   F            C/G           E7 
Malfunction! Malfunction! Malfunction! 


verse 3 

Am 
Feel the fires as they tickle your face 
F 
Watch and learn as they make you feel disgrace 
C/G 
Ones and zeroes left over, left out to haunt  
E7 
Comb them in and let them want 

Am 
I want more from this stupid life 
F 
Do you want more from this stupid life? (oh yeah) 
C/G 
Ones and zeroes, ones and zeroes, ones and zeroes 
E7 
Add them up, take them up, show them 


Bridge 

     F               G        Am 
I’m functioning just fine I’m alive 
      F             G           Am 
At my junction of dysfunction we arrive 


                F 
What’s their Malfunction? 
        G            Am                     F 
It’s a start; Can we teach them not to fall apart? 
      F 
Their Malfunction  
      G                Am             F 
isn’t us, it’s all the clamor and the fuss 
  
F               G           Am                 F 
When I say that I love you, dammit Janet, take it as truth 
   F                   G 
        Everything’s a little broken 
   Am                           F 
        To be pristine well you must be jokin’ 

F            G            Am 
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away 
F            E7            Am 
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
