Capo on 3rd fret
	        
             G              Em           Am                 D 
I come from scientists and atheists and white men who kill God 
              G          Em           Am           D 
They make technology high quality, complex, physiological 
  G             Em               Am             D 
Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good 
               Am               D            G 
They taught me everything, just like a daddy should 


             G            Em              Am            D 
And you were beautiful and vulnerable and power and success 
             G           Em                       Am                   
God damn, I fell for you, your flamethrowers, your tunnels, and 
      D 
 Your tech 
          Am             D            B7                   Em 
I studied code because I wanted to do something great like you 
             Am         D              G 
And the real tragеdy is half of it was true 

 

Bridge:

Em Am D G But we've been fuckin' mеan, we're elitist, we're as flawed as any Em Church Am D G Em And this faux-rad West coast dogma has a higher fuckin' net worth Am D I bit the apple 'cause I trusted you B7 Em It tastes like Thomas Malthus Am D G Em Your proposal is immodest and insane Am D G Em And I hope someday Selmers rides her fuckin' train
Am D G Em I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true Am D G Em I wanted to be you and do what you do Am D B7 Em I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true Am D G Em I feel so stupid, and so used Am D G I feel so used
G Em Am I was your baby, your first born, the hot girl in your compsci D Class G Em Am I was darwin's prep school dream bred, born, and raised to kick D Your ass G Em Am D I fell for circuit boards, rocket ships, pictures of the stars Am D G If you could only be what you pretend you are G Em Am D When I said take me to the moon I never meant take me alone G Em Am I thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could D Go Am D B7 But I don't wanna see the stars if they're just one more piece of Em Land Am D G For us to colonize for us to turn to sand

Bridge:

Am D G 'Cause we're so fuckin' mean, we're so elitist, we're as fucked as Em Any church Am D G Em And this bullshit West coast dogma has a higher fuckin' net worth Am D B7 Em I bit the apple 'cause I loved you, and why would you lie? Am D G And then I realized that you're just as naïve as I am Am D G Oh, you're so traumatized it makes me want to cry You dumb bitch
Refrão
Am D G Em I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true Am D G Em I wanted to be you and do what you do Am D B7 Em I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it's true Am D G I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused
G Em Am D Well I don't want to eat the rich, I'd have to eat my heroes first G Em Am D And my tuition's paid by blood, I might deserve your fate or worse G Em Am D But I don't need your god damn money, I don't need jack shit from you Am D G So when I speak, you bet your life my words are true G Em Am D Let me level with you man, as someone guilty of the game G Em Am D I took the help, I took the cash, I would've taken your last name Am D B7 Em So if any girl on Earth should get to make a call about this Am D G It should be me, and as I see it, you're a dick

Bridge:

Am D G So fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your Em Cars again Am D G Em You promised you'd be Tesla, but you're just another Edison Am D B7 Em 'Cause Tesla broke a patent, all you ever broke were hearts Am D G I can't believe you tore humanity apart Em Am D G With the very same machines that could have been our brand new start And the worst part is
Am D G Em I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true Am D G Em And sometimes I feel like I still fuckin' do Am D B7 Em I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true Am D G Em I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused Am D G Em I feel so used Am D G Em I feel so used Am D G Em Take me to the moon Am D G Em I feel so used Am D G Em I feel so used
