G
So, you wanted
D
That's what you get for wanting
You got it
Em
That's what you get for getting
Forgotten
B
You're gardening a rotting bed
Of raygun-era icons
G
So
Let's start it
Let's start it
D
From the minute you felt it
Em
You felt it like a prison
A panic, you felt it
B
Like that coffee scene
From Moscow on the Hudson
G
So
...Be honest
D
It's not as if you're happy about it
Em
It's not as if you're animatronic
C
It's not as if you couldn't
Cry out any time you wanted
C
Olly olly oxen free
D
All the people you will never be
C
Olly olly oxen free
D
Olly olly olly olly
Olly olly olly olly
G
Fate
You call it
You color it
D
The color you want it
You carpet it
Em
That's awful convenient
B
You paint yourself a nice white room
With stripes and matching curtains
G
So
You forfeit
D
You cannot build a river across it
Em
You cannot hold your own heart hostage
C
You do not have the strength
To gag yourself in every closet
G
The wrong place, wrong mind
Timing's always bad
D
You're such a sad case
Misplaced renaissance
Em
Inventor of a worldwide
Heartbreak, taking it in stride
C
'Cause you're an expert
Aren't you?
Aren't you just a dime a dozen?
G
Murderous monosyllabic moron
With no sense of purpose
D
Working on your songs all night
To justify your worthlessness
Em
To anyone who's watching
If they only saw your alter egos
C
Pretty in the shop windows
Where you got auctioned hours ago
C
Olly olly oxen free
D
All the people you will never be
C
Olly olly oxen free
D
olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
C
See no evil, hear no evil
D
Capture me and throw the key
C
See no evil, hear no evil
D
Capture me and throw the key away
Throw the key away
G
So
It's over
D
You're lying in a coffin of clutter
Em
Your father and your sister, your drummer
B
Are sorting through your Soft Cell tapes
G
And lifesaver collection, and you wonder
D
You wonder if you could've done better
Em
You wonder if you should've surrendered
Before you learned that
C
Nobody actually wants a fucking martyr
C
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see?
D
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see?
C
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see me?
D
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see me?
C
Olly olly oxen free
D
All the people you will never be
C
Olly olly oxen free
D
olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
C
See no evil, hear no evil
D
Capture me and throw the key
C
See no evil, hear no evil
D
Capture me and throw the key away
C
Throw the key away
D
Throw the key away
