Intro:
F#F#

B minorBm
those that will judge will say you're aloof
E MajorE
but you know the truth is a seed you know what you need
       F#7F#7
is a conflagration
      B minorBm
cause when I see your blood and the bits of your broken tooth
  E MajorE
it gives me the proof that I need it's the proof that you bleed
        F#F#
and it's a revelation / yeah it's a revelation / it's a revelation

 A augmentedA
I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
 A augmentedA
propped up in the hardware store
 A augmentedA
propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
     A augmentedA
of those legionnaires with two by fours
              E MajorE
As they're marching off to wars
               F#7F#7
Yeah they're marching off to wars

F#7F#7
I didn't know what you were made of
F#7F#7
color of your blood what you're afraid of
D MajorD
are you made of calcium or are you carbon based
         G+G
cause if you're made of calcium I'll have to take a taste
        D MajorD
'Cause listen, calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth
       D MajorD
but it's one sure-fire way to know if you're mx-missile proof
  A7A7
oh no, or if you're just aloof

F#7F#7
and you were in the ground in late November
F#7F#7
though the leaves and earth were damp
    D MajorD
did you think they would remember
 G+G
how you almost made state champ
         D MajorD
and when you're running for the game against Alfonsus
      D MajorD
and you fell up on the ground and chipped your tooth
 E MajorE
listen, that might really have surprised us
  A7A7
to learn that maybe you weren't really mx-missiles proof

      A augmentedA
whoa, I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
      A augmentedA
and you're propped up in the hardware store
      A augmentedA
you were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
     A augmentedA
of those legionnaires with two by fours
              D MajorD
as they're marching off to wars
               D MajorD
yeah they're marching off to wars
      D MajorD
