Intro:
F#

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

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

F#7
I didn't know what you were made of
F#7
color of your blood what you're afraid of
D
are you made of calcium or are you carbon based
                 G
cause if you're made of calcium I'll have to take a taste
               D
'Cause listen, calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth
              D
but it's one sure-fire way to know if you're mx-missile proof
   A7
oh no, or if you're just aloof

F#7
and you were in the ground in late November
F#7
though the leaves and earth were damp
        D
did you think they would remember
 G
how you almost made state champ
                 D
and when you're running for the game against Alfonsus
           D
and you fell up on the ground and chipped your tooth
  E
listen, that might really have surprised us
    A7
to learn that maybe you weren't really mx-missiles proof

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