 Em                                     A7                           
those that will judge will say you're aloof  

                      Em                            A                     
but you know the truth is a seed you know what you need  

                  B 
is a conflagration  

     Em                                                  A                         
cause when I see your blood and the bits of your broken tooth  

     Em                                                  A                                                   
it gives me the proof that I need it's the proof that you bleed  

              D                       G                                                           
and it's a revelation / yeah it's a revelation / it's a 

    B
revelation 

E                                     B                            
I thought you were a life-sized paper doll 

 E                         B                             
propped up in the hardware store  

  E                                      B
propped up on the front lawn watching the parade  

  E                                B
of those legionnaires with two by fours  

                          C#m         
As they're marching off to war  

   F#                      B            G#                                  
Yeah they're marching off to war 

  C#m                        G#                            
I didn't know what you were made of  

  C#m                                G#                               
color of your blood what you're afraid of  

 Amaj7                  E                        
are you made of calcium or are you carbon based 

       E                  G#7          F#m             A                              
cause if you're made of calcium I'll have to take a taste  

              A                                  E
'Cause listen, calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth  

             F#m7                              E                                       
but it's one sure-fire way to know if you're mx-missile proof  

  F#7          C#m         B        G#7                         
oh no, or if you're just aloof

    C#m                             G#                               
and you were in the ground in late November  

   C#m                          G#                             
when the leaves and earth were damp  

  A                        E                                     
did you think they would remember  

   G#                     A                 
how you almost made state champ  

     A                                      E                                                   
and when you're running for the game against Alfonsus  

     A                                         E                                               
and you fell up on the ground and chipped your tooth  

  F#7                        
listen, that might really have surprised us 

                                B7                                                              
to learn that maybe you weren't really mx-missiles proof

 E                                         B                                    
whoa, I thought you were a life-sized paper doll  

  E                                   B                                          
and you're propped up in the hardware store  

  E                                         B                                     
you were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade  

            E                     B                                                   
of those legionnaires with two by fours 

                            A                 
as they're marching off to war   

  E                          A                
yeah they're marching off to war    

              B             E                     E
