Bb C           Dm                    Bb
   You were my army and I would command

   C      Dm
Attack the holy land

Bb       C             Dm
     And you were that interstate

Bb       C       Dm
    That I would roll my tanks down

[Chorus]

Bb     C        Dm
    So color me stunned

Bb     C        Dm                 Bb
   And wake the children when I'm done

    C       Dm           Bb
And put the details in a jar

     C         Dm
And bury them underwater

[Verse 2]

C    Dm      Bb
   I went to see this

C  Dm    Bb
   Battleground and battle sound

C       Dm           Bb
   And drove to the outskirts

C       Dm       Bb
   With cars on blocks and houses run down

[Chorus]

Bb     C        Dm
    So color me stunned

Bb     C        Dm                 Bb
   And wake the children when I'm done

    C       Dm           Bb
And put the details in a jar

     C         Dm
And bury them underwater

[Instrumental] |Bb C | Dm | |Bb C | Dm | [Bridge]

C              Dm
  We'll gather up the family and

B             Bb
  Display our diseased organs

C                Dm
  We'll call it pride; we'll celebrate tonight

B               Bb            G
  Tax-free and always under priced

[Chorus]

Bb     C        Dm
    So color me stunned

Bb     C        Dm                 Bb
   And wake the children when I'm done

    C       Dm           Bb
And put the details in a jar

     C         Dm
And bury them underwater

[Outro] |Bb C | Dm | Bb
