Verse 3:  
(soft)    D                       A  
At the center of the Earth in the parking lot  
       Bm                 A  
Of the Seven-Eleven where I was taught  
G                    A  
The motto was just a lie

I read the graffiti on the bathroom stall  
       Bm                       A  
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall  
G                    A  
And so it seemed to confess  
(soft)  D                        A  
It didn't say much but it only confirmed  
     
         Bm                         A  
That the center of the Earth is the end of the world  
G                    A  
And I can really care less.
