Standard (EADGBE)

GSo, you wanted

 That's what you get for wDanting

You got it

 That's what you get for gEmetting

Forgotten

 You're gardening a rBotting bed

Of raygun-era icons

GSo

Let's start it

Let's start it

 From the mDinute you felt it

 You felt it like a prEmison

A panic, you felt it

 Like that cBoffee scene

From Moscow on the Hudson

GSo

...Be honest

 It's not as if you're hDappy about it

 It's not as if you're Emanimatronic

 It's not as if you cCouldn't

Cry out any time you wanted

 OClly olly oxen free

 ADll the people you will never be

 OClly olly oxen free

 ODlly olly olly olly

Olly olly olly olly

 FGate

You call it

You color it

 The cDolor you want it

You carpet it

 That's Emawful convenient

 You paint yourself a nBice white room

With stripes and matching curtains

GSo

You forfeit

 You cannot build a rDiver across it

 You cannot hold your Emown heart hostage

 You do not have the strCength

To gag yourself in every closet

 The wrGong place, wrong mind

Timing's always bad

 You're such a sDad case

Misplaced renaissance

 Inventor of a wEmorldwide

Heartbreak, taking it in stride

 'Cause you're an Cexpert

Aren't you?

Aren't you just a dime a dozen?

 MGurderous monosyllabic moron

With no sense of purpose

 WDorking on your songs all night

To justify your worthlessness

 To Emanyone who's watching

If they only saw your alter egos

 PrCetty in the shop windows

Where you got auctioned hours ago

COlly olly oxen free

DAll the people you will never be

COlly olly oxen free

Dolly olly olly olly

Higher than the king can

 SCee no evil, hear no evil

 CDapture me and throw the key

 SCee no evil, hear no evil

 CDapture me and throw the key away

Throw the key away

GSo

It's over

 You're lying in a cDoffin of clutter

 Your father and your sEmister, your drummer

 Are sorting through your SBoft Cell tapes

 And lifesaver collection, aGnd you wonder

 You wonder if you coDuld've done better

 You wonder if you shEmould've surrendered

Before you learned that

 NCobody actually wants a fucking martyr

 DCidn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see?

 DDidn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see?

 DCidn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see me?

 DDidn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see me?

COlly olly oxen free

DAll the people you will never be

COlly olly oxen free

Dolly olly olly olly

Higher than the king can

 SCee no evil, hear no evil

 CDapture me and throw the key

 SCee no evil, hear no evil

 CDapture me and throw the key away

 ThCrow the key away

 ThDrow the key away
