G
All the words in my mouth
        Em
that the scene deemed unworthy of letting out
      Am
banded together to form a makeshift militia
            D
and burrowed bloodily through my tongue and my teeth.
        G
I stood proud in the gallery
       Em
With my open socket of a mouth for them to see.
            Am
They all just laughed and said
          D                  Am      D
"That boy, he, that boy's got woe....Woe.
             Am      D
He lives with woe....Woe."


[Verse 2]

         G
And this girl who I met
     Em
Whose pride makes her hard to forget,
       Am
She took pity on me horizontally
        D
But most likely because of my band.(hey)
                G
It's all I can get when I'm lonely
         Em
And these visions of death seem to own me
      Am
In the quiet of the classrooms
   D                                   Am      D
All across the stacked United States of Woe....Woe.
            Am      D
We live with woe....Woe


[Verse 3]

                     Am
She said "I can't get laid in this town
             D
Without these pointy fucking shoes.
           Am                             D
My feet are so black and blue and so are you."
              C         G
Please take me out of my body
  Em          D
Up through the palm trees
  C         G         Em       D
To smell California in sweet hypocrisy.
C          G         Em          D
Floating my senses surround my body.
C        G       Em         D
I wake my nose to smell that ocean burn.


[Interlude]
C        G       Em         D
Ha                     ha
C        G       Em         D
C        G       Em         D
La da da La da da La da da da da da
C        G       Em         D

[Bridge]
            Am
So now I'm forging ahead
               G             D
Past all the plutocrats who sold me out
   Am
Go sob in your bed
            G               D
If life is twice as pretty once you're dead
      Am        
Then send me a card.
               G       D
I'm still the optimist, though it is hard
      Am             D
When all you want to be,
              C  G  Em  D
is in a dream.
C        G       Em         D
A dream...
