[Verse]
G+G
All the words in my mouth
Em/B
that the scene deemed unworthy of letting out
A minorAm Asus2Asus2
banded together to form a makeshift militia
D MajorD
and burrowed bloodily through my tongue and my teeth.
G+G
I stood proud in the gallery
Em/B
With my open socket of a mouth for them to see.
A minorAm Asus2Asus2
They all just laughed and said
D MajorD A minorAm D MajorD
"That boy, he, that boy's got woe. Woe.
A minorAm Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
He lives with woe. Woe."
G+G
And this girl who I met
Em/B
Whose pride makes her hard to forget,
A minorAm Asus2Asus2
She took pity on me horizontally
D MajorD
But most likely because of my band.(hey)
G+G
It's all I can get when I'm lonely
Em/B
And these visions of death seem to own me
A minorAm Asus2Asus2
In the quiet of the classrooms
D MajorD A minorAm D MajorD
All across the stacked United States of Woe. Woe.
A minorAm Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
We live with woe.
A minorAm
She said "I can't get laid in this town
D MajorD
Without these pointy fucking shoes.
A minorAm D MajorD
My feet are so black and blue and so are you."
C majorC G+G
Please take me out of my body
Em/B D MajorD
Up through the palm trees
C majorC G+G Em/B D MajorD
To smell California in sweet hypocrisy.
C majorC G+G Em/B D MajorD
Floating my senses surround my body.
C majorC G+G Em/B D MajorD
I wake my nose to smell that ocean burn.
A minorAm Asus2Asus2
So now I'm forging ahead
G+G D MajorD
Past all the plutocrats who sold me out.
A minorAm Asus2Asus2
Go sob in your bed.
G+G D MajorD
If life is twice as pretty once your dead
A minorAm Asus2Asus2
Then send me a card.
G+G D MajorD
I'm still the optimist though it is hard
A minorAm Asus2Asus2
When all you want to be
D MajorD
Is in a dream.
(A augmentedA dream)
