| C | E | F | D G | C |
[Verse 1]
C E F
- Countless suicide attempts
D G C
All his mo-oney was spent
E F
Chewing gum and cigarettes
D G C
To keep his knees from shaking
E F
He never thought before he spoke
D G C
Took back everything he meant
E F
And from an early age he learned
D G C
To inhale and forget
[Bridge]
E F
And who are you? And who are we?
D G C
Photographs and diaries
E F
Spend your life working hard
D G C
Spend your life studying
E F
And then you die. And then you die
D G C
And then we read all your books
E F
And then you die. And then you die
D G C
And then we criticize your work
[Interlude]
| Am | F | D G | E |
[Chorus]
E
- You figured it out
F Am G E
You figured it out so good
E
- I know you want it
F Am G E
They said you would
E
- You're getting to close
F Am G E
And it's all too much
E F F#
- Afraid of the human touch (F# mute strumm)
[Verse 2]
C E F D G C
- Give the kids all their candy ow ow ow
E F D G C
Whatever makes them happy
E F D G C
Give me seeds and I'll plant trees
E F
Learn from your mistakes
D G C
My parents never learned from me
[Bridge]
E F
And BA Sphemy on the WALL
D G C
Of the bathroom you wrote:
E F
God is gay and no one cares,
D G C
Even if you left a note
E F
Your suicide will go unheard
D G C
Maybe 'cos you never spoke
E F
You were a wallflower
D G C
You were my only hope
E F
Your songs never left your room
D G C
You never showed your poetry
E F
Don't you die, don't you die
D G C
Don't you dare to die on me
[Interlude]
| E | F | D G | E |
[Chorus]
E
- You figured it out you
F D G E
You figured me out so good
E
- I know you want it,
F D G E
They said you would
E
- We're getting too close,
F D G E
And it's all too much
E F F#
- Afraid of the human touch (F# mute strumm)
