Chords

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
