A Plague On All Other Boys(Keyboard chords)

	        Intro: C# 

Verse 1:
C# 
Hey Jane 
Watching over you in Nebraska 
    C# 
The flood planes 
Move over the farms, a disaster 
    C#m 
The sun heats 
Air until it swirls in tornadoes 
     B                 G# 
But you move solemnly along 

C# 
She says 
You will be the consummate scholar 
    C# 
And she says 
Do you know the world is your oyster? 
    C#m 
The man says 
Come and we will climb Mount Olympus 
    B                     G# 
But all you want is to be there 
                        D#m    G# 
in the presence  of her smile 
                        D#m    G# 
In the presence of her smile 
                        C#     F# 
In the presence of her smile 
C#   G# 

Verse 2:
C# 
We are 
Circling over clouds, we are tethered 
C# 
Wondering 
When you're gonna hit bumpy weather 
     C#m 
Your heart skips 
Every time you detect her fragrance 
      B 
She's out there 
                G#                          D#m  G# 
Stinking up the late evening air with other boys 
                  D#m   G# 
A plague on other boys 
                        C#       F# 
How this feeling does annoy you 
                  C#    G# 
A plague on other boys

Verse 3:
 
C# 
They say 
How can you know love, you're a minor? 
    C# 
And you say 
What else could I know, this defines me? 
C#m 
I start 
Growing, I'm a mess, I'm defeated 
    B                           G# 
My grade point average went to hell

Watching 
Listening for a cultural movement

Lenses to see into the future

March on 
Washington if she's in the vanguard

Politics on what she's got written on a flag

What she's written on a flag 
                            C#      G# 
My body's mine and you're a ___drag 
                        D#m   G# 
What she's written on a flag 
                        D#m   G# 
What she's written on a flag

Ten long years it took to shake the memory 
    F# 
The pain, humiliation 
C#            A#m 
But then suddenly you realized 
        B 
You're free 
    F# 
To fraternize again 
C#                A#m                        B 
She got married, stayed in town and raised a home

See her at Thanksgiving

There's a roped up part of every human heart 
F#                    C# 
For the first one you love
