[Intro]
          DmDm      Bb majorBb     C majorC
You say you want a mother not a confidante
    G minorGm                FF
But for years you’ve been doing what you want
     DmDm        Bb majorBb      C majorC
Now your mother don’t know where you are

Little prostitute boy, step
    FF          G minorGm
Said if I don’t accept your beautiful lie to what you know
Bb majorBb     C majorC
Then I show these people how to grow
DmDm Bb majorBb    DmDm  Bb majorBb
Oh All this water
DmDm        Bb majorBb
Not since making a doubt
  DmDm    Bb majorBb
All inside
      FF
You’re all messed up
      G minorGm
You’re all dressed up
    Bb majorBb   C majorC
For the letdown
  FF       G minorGm
If I get on we’ll make it
       Bb majorBb      C majorC
Time for the middle school dance

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
  DmDm         G minorGm
And until I fall asleep
     DmDm         G minorGm

Woke up, why won’t you?
DmDm  G minorGm
Stop

 DmDm     Bb majorBb     C majorC    G minorGm
I put my head down in the evening light
 DmDm   Bb majorBb        C majorC    G minorGm
I like to walk round in the sunshine
 DmDm   Bb majorBb       C majorC     G minorGm
I put my head down in the sand at night

I put my hands down and I know where you’re at, know yeah
