Tom: C
C Em F G C Em F G
[Verse]
C Em F G C Em F G C
Grungy girls and punk rock boys
Em F G C Em F G C
Can't be heard above the noise
Em F G C
Awkward handshakes, bumps and hugs
Em F G C
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Em F G C Em F G
It's not the way you thought it was
[Chorus]
C
I would rather hear you curse me out
C F
Then give me fake smiles
F
And all that nervous laughter
F G
When you say what you hate
G
Makes me feel kinda great
G Am G F
You have authority
[Verse]
C Em F G C Em F G C
Taxi drivers sell their weed
Em F G C Em F G C
My Ani DiFranco scream
Em F G C Em F G C
Gold high tops with no socks on
Em F G C Em F G
Go ahead and move along
[Chorus]
C
I would rather hear you curse me out
C F
Then give me fake smiles
F
And all that nervous laughter
F G
When you say what you hate
G
Makes me feel kinda great
G Am G F
You have authority
C
I would rather see you flip me off
C F
Then give me fake smiles
F
And all that nervous laughter
F G
When you say what you hate
G
Makes me feel kinda great
G Am G F
It's beautiful to me
[Instrumental]
C F Am G C F Am G
[Bridge]
C F Am
It's hard to be real with all the temptations
G
All the flying daggers
C F Am
It's hard to be true when honesty kills you
G
Can anybody hear me?
Am G
I'm begging darling oh
C F
Give me a chance to let you know
C F Am
It's hard to be true when honesty kills you
G
Can anybody hear me?
[Chorus]
C
I would rather hear you curse me out
C F
Then give me fake smiles
F
And all that nervous laughter
F G
When you say what you hate
G
Makes me feel kinda great
G Am G F
You have authority
C
I would rather see you flip me off
C F
Then give me fake smiles
F
And all that nervous laughter
F G
When you say what you hate
G
Makes me feel kinda great
G Am G F C
It's beautiful to me
