(i - The Death of St Jimmy)

A E D A
A E D A

A  E        D        A
My heart is beating from me
A    E         D   A
I am standing all alone
A           D  A
Please call me only
A  E       D      A
If you are coming home
E             A
Waste another year flies by
E               A
Wait a night or two
D          A  D   A  E
You taught me how to live

A D E   A D A D E
A D E   A D A D E

       A        D  E
In the streets of shame,
             A         D       A  D  E
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain,
            A    D E
There's no sign of hope,
              D                 A      E
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope,
         A      D E
There's a glow of light,
         A           D     A  D   E
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night,
         A    D    E
Bearing gifts and trust,
            D       A      E
The fixture in the city of lust



F#m   E    A
What the hells your name,
            F#m              E        A
What's your pleasure and what's your pain?
       F#m   E    A
Do you dream too much?
       D                    A    E
Do you think what you need is a crutch?


A D E  A D A D E

        A     D E               A          D  A D E
In the crowd of pain, St. Jimmy comes without any shame,
                A
He says "We're fucked up",
    D             E
But we're not the same,
            D                        E
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame
      F#m  E A
Jimmy died today
            F#m          E      A
He blew his brains out into the bay,
       F#m    E A          D              E
In the state of mind in my own private suicide

(ii - East 12th Street)

A   D A G A

A   D A G A

     D A G  A
Well nobody cares,
     D A G  A
And nobody cares,
      D A G  A       D A G  A
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
      D A G  A
Well nobody cares,
     D A D  A
And nobody cares,
      D A G  A       D A G  A
Does anyone care if nobody cares?


D                    G    D
Jesus is filling out paperwork now,
G         D     A       D
At the facility on east 12th Street,
D                  G   D
He's not listening to a word now,
G           D
He's in his own world,
    A       D
And he's daydreaming
                    G          D
He'd rather be doing something else now,
     D             G                A    D
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,
                            G      D
His life's on the line with anxiety now,
    D        G
And she had enough,
    A        D
And he's had plenty
D G D A D

D            G   D   A D
Somebody get me out of here,
D G D A D

D           G   D   A D
Anybody get me out of here,
D G D A D

D            G   D   A D
Somebody get me out of here,
D G D A D

D               G      D   A D
Get me the fuck right out of here

C
So far away,
A
I don't want to stay,
C                       A
Get me outta here right now,
C
I just want to be free,
A
Is there a possibility?
C                        A
Get me out of here right now,

C A
Out!
C A
Out!
C A
Out!
C A
Out!

Alright!
D C G A

      D             G     A  D
This life like dream ain't for me


(iii - Nobody Likes You)

D       A           G               A
I fell asleep while watching Spike TV,
      D           A
After 10 cups of coffee,
           G         A
And you're still not here,
D             A
Dreaming of a song,
     G              A
When something went wrong,
        D           A
And you can't tell anyone,
     G        A
'Cos no one's here

Bm            A
Left me here alone,
       G                  D
When I should have stayed home,
      Bm          A
After 10 cups of coffee,
    D
I'm thinking,

D      A
Nobody likes you,
G        A
Everyone left you,
        D          A
They're all out without you,
G      A
Havin' fun,

D         A
Everyone left you,
G      A
Nobody likes you,
        D           A
They're all out without you,
G      A
Havin' fun,

             D
Where'd you go?







(iv - Rock and Roll Girlfriend)

D E

A
I got a rock and roll band,
D
I got a rock and roll life,
A
I got a rock and roll girlfriend,
E
And another ex-wife

A
I got a rock and roll house,
D
I got a rock and roll car,
A
I play the shit out of the drums,
E
And I can play the guitar

A
I got a kid in New York,
D
I got a kid in the Bay,
A
I haven't drank or smoked nothin',
   E
In over 22 days,

       G      A
So get off of my case,
    G      A
Get off of my case,
G     A   D ...
Off of my case



(v - We're Coming Home Again)

... Bm G-A
  D Bm G-A
  D Bm G-A
  D Bm G-A


Here they come marching down the street,
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat,
Coming back from the edge of town,
Underneath their feet

G A

The time has come and it's going nowhere,
Nobody ever said that life was fair now,
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear,
In the summer heat

D A

G            A                   G
The world is spinning around and around,
           A
Out of control again,

D A

G          A        Bm               E
From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down,
   D        G     A
So send my love a letterbomb,
  D     G       A
To visit me in hell,
G         A    G A
We're the ones going

D   A

D
Home.
             A
We're coming home again
D
Home.
             A
We're coming home again

G
I started fuckin' running,
                D
As soon as my feet touch ground,
G
We're back in the barrio,
       A                        G      A
But to you and me, that's Jingletown. That's
D
Home.

A
We're coming home again,
D
Home.
             A
We're coming home again,
D
Home.
             A
We're coming home again,
D
Home.
             A
We're coming home again,
D
Home.
             A          G
We're coming home again,

D
Home.
             A          G
We're coming home again,
D
Home.
             A          G
We're coming home again,
D
Home.
             A          G
We're coming home again,

D
Nobody likes you,
Everyone left you,
They're all out without you,
Havin' fun
