Capo on first fret, standard tuning.

INTRO:
C5 , G5 , C...


VERSE ONE
      C5
Anchormen spike their blood
     G5
wear masks of mud
     C5                     F5
cucumbers cut to fit their eyes
       C5                     G5                  
and so no one would know how tired they've grown
   C5           G5             C5
of talking and telling their lies


VERSE TWO
          C5
While the tvs change stations
       G5
scroll messages
            C5                         F5
victims and Christians both, drinking blood
                 C5                           G5
and they'll pray for the destruction, of all hatred
                C5          G5        C5
more often just those with hate for us


VERSE THREE
               C5                       G5
Cause it hurts when you discover one's worse and one's better
   C5                      F5
to suffer or cause others to
            C5                                    
and you can live by your conscience
    G5
now guilt, is a concept
       C5         G5           C5
you're no longer subscribing to


CHORUS
          F5            F5
There's a virgin in my bed
          C5      G5       A5
and she's taking off her dress
    F5                 C5          G5 
and I'm not sure what I am gonna do
          F5                F5
there's a song stuck in my head
      C5          G5       A5
and I can't help singing it
   F5             C5               G5 
oh how i hope my singing pleases you
                  A5
cause this is not who I?ve become
         G5           C5
but what you make me into


BRIDGE
C5 , F5 , C5 , F5 , C5 , F5 , C5 , F5 , C5 , G.....


VERSE FOUR
          C5
Oh we got no health insurance
   G5
no cellular service
   C5                 F5
no disease they can cure
                 C5             
but we need more money to burn
        G5                     C5      G5               C5
so each person must learn the dollar amount they are worth


VERSE FIVE
          C5
And those pills make me dizzy
   G5
forgetting my body
   C5                 F5
i watch as it walks away
                 C5             
and i just keep drinking the poison
    G5            
and smoking the cartons
  C5          G5      C5
a pack and a half a day


VERSE SIX
        C5
so when time comes to claim me
   G5                          C5                F5     
my friends and my family will gather around my grave
              C5                            G5
and they'll believe that they knew me and love me and miss me
    C5           G5      C5
and all call me by my name


CHORUS
    F5               F5
so imagine what you want
         C5       G5       A5
and then hold on to that thought
      F5                  C5            G5 
cause that's as close as it will ever come
      F5                      F5           C5      G5       A5
and believe you're where you are and keep acting out the part
           F5                             C5                     G5 
but at the end of the end of the day the trees all get wheeled away
              A5                  G5           C5                                
and you'll be standing alone in a blank blank space


CHORUS (GENTLY)
   F5                      F5
so believe you're who you are
    C5       G5       A5
and stay in character
            F5                  C5               G5 
but at the end of the play the audience walks away
              A5                  G5          C5                                
and I'll be shivering cold on a well lit stage.
