G5
So, you wanted
                         D5
That's what you get for wanting

You got it
                         E5
That's what you get for getting

Forgotten
                    B5
You're gardening a rotting bed

Of raygun-era icons

G5
So

Let's start it

Let's start it
          D5
From the minute you felt it
                     E5
You felt it like a prison

A panic, you felt it
           B5
Like that coffee scene

From Moscow on the Hudson

G5
So

...Be honest
                       D5
It's not as if you're happy about it
                      E5
It's not as if you're animatronic
                    C5
It's not as if you couldn't

Cry out any time you wanted

 C5
Olly olly oxen free
 D5
All the people you will never be
 C5
Olly olly oxen free
 D5
Olly olly olly olly

Olly olly olly olly

 G5
Fate

You call it

You color it
     D5
The color you want it

You carpet it
       E5
That's awful convenient
                      B5
You paint yourself a nice white room

With stripes and matching curtains

G5
So

You forfeit
                    D5
You cannot build a river across it
                     E5
You cannot hold your own heart hostage
                       C5
You do not have the strength

To gag yourself in every closet

      G5
The wrong place, wrong mind

Timing's always bad
               D5
You're such a sad case

Misplaced renaissance
               E5
Inventor of a worldwide

Heartbreak, taking it in stride
                 C5
'Cause you're an expert

Aren't you?

Aren't you just a dime a dozen?
 G5
Murderous monosyllabic moron

With no sense of purpose
 D5
Working on your songs all night

To justify your worthlessness
   E5
To anyone who's watching

If they only saw your alter egos
  C5
Pretty in the shop windows

Where you got auctioned hours ago

C5
Olly olly oxen free
D5
All the people you will never be
C5
Olly olly oxen free
D5
olly olly olly olly

Higher than the king can

 C5
See no evil, hear no evil
 D5
Capture me and throw the key
 C5
See no evil, hear no evil
 D5
Capture me and throw the key away

Throw the key away

G5
So

It's over
                   D5
You're lying in a coffin of clutter
                      E5
Your father and your sister, your drummer
                          B5
Are sorting through your Soft Cell tapes
                           G5
And lifesaver collection, and you wonder
                    D5
You wonder if you could've done better
                    E5
You wonder if you should've surrendered

Before you learned that
 C5
Nobody actually wants a fucking martyr

 C5
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see?
 D5
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see?
 C5
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see me?
 D5
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see me?

C5
Olly olly oxen free
D5
All the people you will never be
C5
Olly olly oxen free
D5
olly olly olly olly

Higher than the king can

 C5
See no evil, hear no evil
 D5
Capture me and throw the key
 C5
See no evil, hear no evil
 D5
Capture me and throw the key away
  C5
Throw the key away
  D5
Throw the key away
