   The Jesus of Suburbia

The Bible of none of the above

     G
On a steady diet of

  Soda pop and Ritalin

Am   N.C.
   No one ever died for my

F
Sins in hell, as far as I can tell

             G
At least the ones that I've gotten away with
[Chorus 1]
            F                  G
And there's nothing wrong with me

        F                   G
This is how I'm supposed to be

     F              G
In a land of make-believe

     N.C.             C
That don't believe in me

And Mary Jane to keep me insane

Doing someone else's cocaine

And there's nothing wrong with me

       C
At the center of the earth

       C/B
In the parking lot

       Am         G
Of the 7-11 where I was taught

F                      G
  The motto was just a lie

         C
It says "home is where your heart is"

    C/B
But what a shame

      Am                       G
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same

F                     G
  It's beating out of time
[Chorus 2]
Am      G
   City of the dead

C                F
  At the end of another lost highway

Am          G            F
   Signs misleading to nowhere

Am      G
   City of the damned

C                    F
  Lost children with dirty faces today

Am        G               F
   No one really seems to care
[Verse 4]
  C
I read the graffiti

       C/B
In the bathroom stall

         Am                   G
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall

F                        G
  And so it seemed to confess

   C
It didn't say much

       C/B
But it only confirmed

         Am                         G
That the center of the earth is the end of the world

F                         G
  And I could really care less
[Chorus 2]
Am      G
   City of the dead

C                F
  At the end of another lost highway

Am          G            F
   Signs misleading to nowhere

Am      G
   City of the damned

C                    F
  Lost children with dirty faces today

Am        G               F
   No one really seems to care

  From the cradle to the grave

C                            Ab   G
  We are the kids of war and peace

C                            Ab   G
  From Anaheim to the Middle East

C                                  Ab   G
  We are the stories and disciples of

C                   Ab   G
  The Jesus of Suburbia
[Pre-Chorus 3]
F            G     C   G
Land of make-believe

  Are we demented or am I disturbed?

C                               G            D
  The space that's in between insane and insecure
G Bm C G D
G                            Bm
  Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?

C                     G          D
  Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed

G                        Bm
  Nobody's perfect and I stand accused

C                                G                D

  To the lights of masochists
