Chords

F
So, you wanted

                         G
That's what you get for wanting
You got it
                         Am
That's what you get for getting
Forgotten
                    E
You're gardening a rotting bed
Of raygun-era icons
F
So
Let's start it Let's start it
          G
From the minute you felt it

                     Am
You felt it like a prison
A panic, you felt it
           E
Like that coffee scene
From Moscow on the Hudson
F
So
...Be honest
                       G
It's not as if you're happy about it

                      Am
It's not as if you're animatronic

                    F
It's not as if you couldn't
Cry out any time you wanted
 F
Olly olly oxen free

 G
All the people you will never be

 F
Olly olly oxen free

 G
Olly olly olly olly
Olly olly olly olly
 F
Fate
You call it You color it
     G
The color you want it
You carpet it
       Am
That's awful convenient

                      E
You paint yourself a nice white room
With stripes and matching curtains
F
So
You forfeit
                    G
You cannot build a river across it

                     Am
You cannot hold your own heart hostage

                       F
You do not have the strength
To gag yourself in every closet
      F
The wrong place, wrong mind
Timing's always bad
               G
You're such a sad case
Misplaced renaissance
               Am
Inventor of a worldwide
Heartbreak, taking it in stride
                 F
'Cause you're an expert
Aren't you? Aren't you just a dime a dozen?
 F
Murderous monosyllabic moron
With no sense of purpose
 G
Working on your songs all night
To justify your worthlessness
   Am
To anyone who's watching
If they only saw your alter egos
  F
Pretty in the shop windows
Where you got auctioned hours ago
F
Olly olly oxen free

G
All the people you will never be

F
Olly olly oxen free

G
olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
 F
See no evil, hear no evil

 G
Capture me and throw the key

 F
See no evil, hear no evil

 G
Capture me and throw the key away
Throw the key away
F
So
It's over
                   G
You're lying in a coffin of clutter

                      Am
Your father and your sister, your drummer

                          E
Are sorting through your Soft Cell tapes

                           F
And lifesaver collection, and you wonder

                    G
You wonder if you could've done better

                    Am
You wonder if you should've surrendered
Before you learned that
 F
Nobody actually wants a fucking martyr

 F
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see?
 G
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see?
 F
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see me?
 G
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see me?
F
Olly olly oxen free

G
All the people you will never be

F
Olly olly oxen free

G
olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
 F
See no evil, hear no evil

 G
Capture me and throw the key

 F
See no evil, hear no evil

 G
Capture me and throw the key away

  F
Throw the key away

  G
Throw the key away
