G		 D
  I'm a kid in a candy store
Am		  D
  I'm a bull in a china shop
G		  D
  I'm a tired old metaphor
      Am	     D
  For everything you can't afford
      Am             D		     G
  And everything you can't afford to be


G	         D
  I'm a public embarrassment
Am                D
  I'm a bottle of diet poison
G	          D
  I'm a walking advertisement
      Am	   D
  For everything I never meant
      Am	   D		  G
  And everything I never meant to be


(Quietly)
G	D            C      D
I can't hear a thing
(Loudly)
      G		   D	C     D
Cause I've stopped listening


G		   D
  I'm the reason I don't go out
Am		     D
  I'm afraid I might tell me something
G		    D
  I'm the shadow of every doubt
Am		       D
  I'm the product this song's about
Am		       D	       G
  I'm the product this song's about to be


(Quietly)
G	D            C      D
I can't hear a thing
(Loudly)
      G		   D    C     D
Cause I've stopped listening
G	D            C      D
I can't hear a thing
      G		   D	C     D
Cause I've stopped listening


Am	D
  Every morning
Am	      D
  Since I was born
	    Am	    C		Em
  It's been hard to look in the mirror
      Am     C		  D
  And see my face for the horns


G		       D
  All the fun that the law allows
Am		       D	    
  All the fun but with half the meaning
G		     D
  Come on over, I'll show you how
Am			     D
  If you lived here you'd be home by now
Am				D		 G
  If you still lived here you'd be home now with me


(Quietly, progressively louder)
G	D           C      D
I can't hear a thing
      G		   D    C     D
Cause I've stopped listening
(Loudly)
G	D           C      D
I can't hear a thing
      G		   D    C     D
Cause I've stopped listening
