                C9  G
When I was in grade six
          C9                                    G
I used to hold open the door for a girl and she called me a wimp
               C              C/B - Am                     G
She said there just isn't no need to be so fucking polite
           C           C/B - Am                       G
I politely agreed with her           I think she was right
      Am                   G
It just never entered my mind
       Am                                       G    C - C/B - Am - G
That a twelve year old came down to choosing sides
(with fill 1)      C9 - G
You said that I'd die if I had nothing to do
      C9                         G
Put a drink in my hand and I'd talk to anything that moves
         C            C/B                  Am                        G
I just refused to give you what you think would make things right
            C    C/B                Am               G
And just to find hate when you've lost the will to fight
