Part I: Ab Fm Ab Fm Ab A band trip dance - what could be the harm, Fm but a six week vacation from the use of my right arm? Ab Just the two hits, I remember nothing more: Fm Alex hitting the switch and me hitting the floor. C# Fm Bbm Fm We're taking this lying down. Bbm Fm C The one thing I can stand up for is resting supine on the ground. C# Fm Bbm Fm Mr. McDermott, won't you help me to my feet? Bbm Fm C Ab Because the drumline's going wild in the San Francisco streets. Ab The long walk home, an hour and a half, Fm quickly turns to three or four with stops at every underpass, Ab but by June 22nd, I have done the math. Fm That's a hundred and five liters I'll consume of Dr. Path. C# Fm Bbm Fm Some girls will tell their secrets to anyone. Bbm Fm C The word 'love' gets thrown around a lot near graduation, C# Fm Bbm Fm so please don't whisper sweet nothings in my ear Bbm Fm C C# Ab when the sound of shredding vocal chords is what I want to hear, Eb E because we're going to San Francisco and I forget to wear some flowers in my hair.

C G F C She's got a secret surname that nobody knows C G F C with the most gorgeous hyphen (you wouldn't believe the way it glows) Am C F G and I'm the only one who gets to see it way up close, F G so the rest of you can stick it up your nose. C G F C Last night, I had the strangest dream that I have ever known - C G F C my mother, in a fit of rage, chases me from our home. Am C F G My mother, the murderer holds me down in the road. F Ab She's got the nail clippers at my throat.

Ab Fm Even though things lately may have been real horrorshow, C# Eb I'm wishing I was back in utero. I'd like to go back to the way that things were before, Ab Fm but apparently, I'm looking at physical therapy. C# Eb It won't be exactly how it used to be. It ain't hard to see that it's not that way, not that way anymore. Ab Fm Jesus Christ is suffering upon his cross tonight. C# Eb Ab Fm I just sit outside waiting for frost to bite. 'It's always this way,' she says on her way out the door. C# Eb Wait and see. The rest is yet to reveal itself to me.
