Em      D/F# G
Call it education

       Bm        A     G  Em
It was somewhere in between

Em       D/F#    G
You gave me some sound advice

      Bm          D
But I wasn't listening

Em    D/F#   G
After we had capsized

        Bm       A   G   Em
I could tell you how you thought

on the city on the wall

And I listened patiently

All this talking pony

      Bm          A     G  Em
Still monkies the whole time

In our modern suits and ties
[Interlude] Em D/F# G Bm A G Em Em D/F# G Bm D [Verse 3]
    Em         D/F#      G
Our instincts, they were cringing

      Bm     A         G  Em
About how we lived our lives

   Em     D/F#      G
It didn't seem we'd lived enough

   Bm          D
To even get to die

Em        D/F#     G
All these diss distractions

   Bm       A      G  Em
So beautifully complex

      Em      D/F#    G
Well, I loved life's surprises so much

        Bm                  D
I don't want to know what's happened

Oh, I hit the roof but I had
Aimed for the ceiling [Interlude] Em D/F# G Bm A G Em Em D/F# G Bm D Em D/F# G Bm A G Em Em D/F# G Bm D [Verse 4]
Em     D/F# G

All them books I didn't They just sat there on my shelf Looking much smarter than me
