Am The lights were low enough, you gueD/F#ssed
You swapped your cGonscience with your father's medicCation
Am Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville D/F#
And on the wGay, you wrote out a self-made declarCation
Am And when you got to Pleasant Hill D/F#
You forced the tGraffic to erase your family dCemons
Am And made a pact with you and god D/F#
If you don't mGove, I swear to you I'm gonna mCake ya
[Chorus 1]

Am When the first officer arrived D
It happened to bGe the high school bully of your brCother
Am When you finally recognDized
You felt some gGuilt that you had even let him tCouch you
Am Can you hear me, what's your name? D
You could not spGeak just laid amazed at all the dCamage
Am As the high school's letting ouDt
All the kGids are sayin' the same thing that they uCsed to
[Chorus 2]
It's an Calien Em
It's an Galien C
It's an Calien Em
It's an Galien C

Am The lights are low enough you guDessed
Hospital fGood, there's never enough medicCation
Am The doctor asked about your eDars
You said your mGom said you were made from a revelCation
Am The revelation never scDares
Your fear came fGrom your drunken dad and a pair of sCcissors
Am Were you just finally letting gDo?
Did you mGean to take out all those people wCith you?
[Chorus 3]
