Last DFriday FI took Gacid and mushrooms I did Dnot tranFscend, I felt Glike a walking piece of shit DIn a stupid looking jacketA G
I Dwalked around Ftown and Gthought I was in Sodom There were Dfilthy people Fseeking Gcomfort for their bodies It was Dso obscene A G
DFilled with Floathing and reGligious fervor I Dlaid on my Ffriend’s bedroom Gfloor for an hour And Dtried not to piss my pants A G
And then I saw Jesus And he said
DOh, Aoh, Goh “Who are you to go against the word of my father? And DOh, Aoh, Goh Who are you? the scum of the earth” No Dwe are just we are just we are Ajust teens of style G Oh Dwe are just we are Ajust we are just teens of style G
There were Dpeople getting Fdrunk, there were Gpeople getting high They were Dfalling to Fpieces right beGfore my eyes And I said “Dmmhmm” a lot (mmhmm) A G
And there was Done guy there who Fkept asking me Ghow does it are you sure feel and I DDidn’t even you don’t want to Fknow how to talk about Gbegin to answer what you’re Experiencing that question and I just Dsaid so I just said no I don't want to talk about it A G
So Dthere I Fwas, just another sGhitbag ciDvilian Afraid of the cops when I was oFutside, afraid of my fGriends when I was inside And I grew Dtired of the scene A G And then my dad showed up
And he was like
DOh, Aoh, Goh “Who are you to go against the word of our fathers?” DOh, Aoh, Goh “Who are you? the scum of the DeaArtGh”
No Dwe are just we are just Awe are just teens of styleG No Dwe are just we are just wAe are just victims of the contemporary styleG Yes Dwe are just we are just we are just we are just Agoing along with the modern styleG Now Deverybody everybody Aeverybody’s going along with the modern style G Let’s do it together It goes

CI used to like the morning F C I’d survived another night Em Am I’d walk to breakfast through the garden Em Am See the flowers stretching in the sunlight G C
Now I wake up in the morning F C And all the kindness is drained out of me Em Am I spend hours just wincing Em Am And trying to regain some sense of peace G F
If only CI could sustain my Danger DmFeel it Cgrow stronger and Gstronger FIt sharpens to a Cpoint and sheds my Dskin DmShakes off the weight of my Csins And takes me to Gheaven F C
I stay up late every nightF C Out of some general protest Em Am But with no one to tell you to come to bed Em Am It’s not really a contest G C
Maybe you think F C I’ll learn from my mistake Em Am But not this time Em Am It’s just gonna break me G F
If only CI could sustain my Danger DmFeel it Cgrow stronger and Gstronger FIt sharpens to a Cpoint and sheds my Dskin DmShakes off the weight of my Csins And takes me to Gheaven F
CAnd if I’ve lost you for good F C Could it have been any other way? Em Am Was the water filling up for years Em Am Or did I wreck it all in a day? G C
I’m going to bed now F C I’ve sunk into my sorrows Em And it’ll Amtake three hundred million dollEmars To Amget me up tomorrow D Dm C G

FI won’t go down with this Cshit I will Dmput my hands up and surrAmender There will Fbe no more flags above Cmy door I have Glost, and always Dmwill be
F Am F C G It was an expensive mistake It was an expensive mistake My horse broke his back to get me here I have his blood on my hands for no reason But what was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to know how to use a tube amp? How was I supposed to know how to drive a van? How was I supposed to know how to ride a bike without hurting myself? How was I supposed to know how to make dinner for myself? How was I supposed to know how to hold a job? How was I supposed to remember to grab my backpack after I set it down to play Basketball? How was I supposed to know how to not get drunk every Thursday, Friday, Saturday And - why not - Sunday? How was I supposed to know how steer this ship? How the hell was I supposed to steer this ship? It was an expensive mistake Can’t say you’re sorry and it’s over I was given a body that is falling apart My house is falling apart - I was given a mind that can't control itself I was given a ship that can't steer itself And what about the pain I’m in right now? And what about a vacation? And what about a vacation to feel good? My horse broke his back and left me here How was I supposed to know? And God won’t forgive me And you won’t forgive me Not unless I open up my heart And how am I supposed to do that When I go to this same room every night Sleep in the same bed every night Same fucking bed Red comforter with the white stripes And the yellow ceiling light makes me feel like I’m dying This sea is too familiar How many nights have I drowned here? How many times have I drowned? F Am F C
I give Gup (x2) A5
ALet us take you back to where we came Amin We were united, an undivided nation DWe got divided, it was Gsomething inside us It was Anot us
We were so naive, we were just like Amanimals Told what to believe by the beasts who Dtook control We wanted conGtrol too, but that was Anormal
Cause our life was one of survival
The decAmisions we've made, if you can call it deciding With your Dlife on the line, it'd be Gsocial suicide to Achange your mind
So we got mad and we split the scene
Now we Amdownload all of our shit for free It's the Dnew economy, we have Gnothing to offer and we Asleep on trash
D A D A E
I give Gup x2 ALet us take you back to where you came Amin A man clinging to the cliff of revelatDion So scared of what he would Gfind, he started crying "it was Anot me"
Stopped at the borderline they took his disguise
So Amhe read a book that won a Pulitzer prize It Dwas about death It didn't Ghelp He saw himself Ain it
He was disturbed at the conclusions it led to
AmBut he couldn't say what because the author was dead too And so Dthough he made fun of us, Ghe has now become Aone of us
