Chorus Em C Hey, I heard it from the state Am D They told me you were never gonna let me get away Em C And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait Am D I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay Em C Hey, you try to compensate Am D For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate Em C You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated Am D Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away Verse 1 Em C Talking to ears that have been deaf Am For as long as I can remember Em C Am A self-medicated handicap, so I speak to myself Em C Am And I try so hard to get his stupid deaf ears to hear Em That I've become illiterate, I've become dumb C Am (Ya hear me? Ya hear me? Ya hear me?) Pre-Chorus Em C When I come through, you were dark blue Am D And I saved you from your darker days Em C Born to take care of you Am D Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase Chorus Em C Hey, I heard it from the state Am D They told me you were never gonna let me get away Em C And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait Am D I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay Em C Hey, you try to compensate Am D For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate Em C You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated Am D Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away Verse 2 Em C Shot down by a guy I never wanted to kiss Am Not gonna hear the singing of his ringing triumphing Em C And I'm chugging along in a train Am And I'm heading the wrong way, and I'm a train wreck Em C And my heart goes "beat, beat, beat" Am To the music of this sad, same song Em C It's quite depressing, there is no fixing to the problem Am When you're talking to an idiot Pre-Chorus Em C When I come through, you were dark blue Am D And I saved you from your darker days Em C Born to take care of you Am D Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase Em C Baby, only maybe Am D Just a dreamer, but I soon found out Em C Heard the train tracks were behind me Am Tried to warn me, but both of my ears went out Pre-Chorus Em C When I come through, you were dark blue Am D And I saved you from your darker days Em C Born to take care of you Am D Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase Chorus Em C Hey, I heard it from the state Am D They told me you were never gonna let me get away Em C And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait Am D I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay Em C Hey, you try to compensate Am D For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate Em C You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated Am D Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
