the beer i had for breakfast was a bottle of mad dog

       G                D             Em   
and my 20/20 vision was fifty percent off

                     G                  D                Em

                        G             D                Em  
i said don't you mean pediddle? and i lit his house on fire

Em              G          D               Em
he came home on acid i was holding his shotgun

                        G           D            Em

                       G              D                  Em

i handed him my wig and shot myself in the head

                        G              D          Em
then i stuffed a box of tissues in the hole in my skull

            G           D            Em
i got in my mazda and i drove to the mall

                    G              D        Em
i got a big johnson shirt and some silicone tits

                      G                 D            Em
when i pulled out the tissues they were covered with shit
[Chorus]
        Em             G               D                  Em

                       G              D            Em
and the boom box on my shoulder was a box of clementines

                   G           D            Em
i ate every single one without noticing the mold

                         G               D               Em
you said you're gross my darling, i said no i'm rock and roll
[Verse]
Em              G          D         Em
even though i'd never ever been in a band

                    G      D           Em
i got cool as black ice tattooed on my hand

                           G              D             Em
and the christians gave me comic books as if i would be scared

              G               D       Em
of burning in hell well i was already there
[Chorus]
        Em             G                D             Em
and the beer i had for breakfast silver bullet in the brain

                       G           D               Em

[Bridge]
       Em      G             D                   Em

                         G               D                  Em
and some old man made me watch him masturbate locked in his car

                        G                 D                Em
when i got back to the apartment you were face down on the floor

                     G                D      Em
you said don't go to bed yet let's go get a 64

                     G                 D          Em
and a fifth of peach schnapps and some warm sunny d

                     G          D          Em
and you said bottoms up just as i bottomed out

                       G                 D              Em
i tried to scream fuck you but blood was pouring out my mouth
[Verse]
Em         G                D               Em
evan dando never planned on telling you the truth

                  G            D                Em
and your leonardo i.d. card is your fountain of youth

                 G             D             Em

                       G         D                    Em

                   G                  D               Em

                         G              D          Em
he was driving home from sirens when he got into a wreck

                  G       D                Em
first i cried for him and then i cried for me

               G            D              Em
haunted by the ghost of the girl i used to be

                   G         D          Em
but the rocks with holes are warm in my hands

                G           D       Em
and i buried my toes in the hot hot sand

                    G    D         Em
and the silver pink pony kisses me and says

                         G       D                        Em
you've come a long, long way and you deserve to be really happy
