Intro: E7E7 E7(add#11) (4x)

Verse
E7E7   E7(add#11)
Heart attack
E7E7     E7(add#11)
Jack-in-the-box
   E7E7      E7(add#11)
I've been here so long
  E7E7     E7(add#11)
I'm starting to rot
      Asus2Asus2      F/AF/A
And you're taking my fear
       E7E7  E7(add#11)
Selling it in jars

(3x)
E7E7 E7(add#11)

Verse
E7E7     E7(add#11)
Back on the playground
  E7E7       E7(add#11)
My knee socks are bloody
E7E7     E7(add#11)
I need someone
  E7E7     E7(add#11)
To toss the confetti
    Asus2Asus2        F/AF/A
At the ticker-tape parade
         E7E7   E7(add#11) E7E7 E7(add#11)
I'm throwing for myself

C majorC      Dadd4(add9)
Look to the floor
  G6G6     G6/F#
She used to be pretty
C majorC      Dadd4(add9)
Don't say a word
     G6G6     G6/F#
But she's drying out slowly
C majorC      Dadd4(add9)
You have the answers
A7A7          E7E7 E7(add#11)
I have the car keys___

E7E7 E7(add#11) (3x)

Verse
E7E7    E7(add#11)
Lightning rod
E7E7       E7(add#11)
Strapped to my shoulders
  E7E7        E7(add#11)
I'm searching through windows
  E7E7      E7(add#11)
For rain and for thunder
      Asus2Asus2        F/AF/A
That could bring to a merciful end
        E7E7 E7(add#11) E7E7 E7(add#11)
This overdrawn wait

Verse
E7E7   E7(add#11)
Carpet burns
E7E7    E7(add#11)
Up to my elbows
   E7E7      E7(add#11)
It's time that you learn
 E7E7       E7(add#11)
I guess I should tell you
     Asus2Asus2         F/AF/A
That the things you know about me
      E7E7  E7(add#11) E7E7 E7(add#11)
Never were true

C majorC      Dadd4(add9)
Look to the floor
 G6G6     G6/F#
I used to be pretty
C majorC      Dadd4(add9)
Don't say a word
    G6G6     G6/F#
But I'm drying out quickly
C majorC      Dadd4(add9)
You have the answers
A7A7          E7E7 E7(add#11)
I have the car keys____

E7E7 E7(add#11) E7E7 E7(add#11) E7E7
