Intro:
DDD
I was 15, had the shape of a capital L
F#m
I still read books about ponies
BmA
This girl I got to know said she was throwing a party
DA party where boys would occur
F#m
Something this cool was unheard of
GG
In my life this far
D
There were four boys at the party
F#m
They weren't special or anything
BmBm
Apart from the fact they were boys
GG
They were real nice to me
D
They put on some neo Nazi music
F#mGG
Said it's pretty good, this neo Nazi music
D
And I hummed along
F#m
Tapped my foot along
GG
To the neo Nazi music
DD
Now, at 15, some people are grown up
F#m
Have minds of their own
F#m
But me, I was a child
Bm
I was a piece of clay those days
A
I could have been molded by anyone
G
I was a good kid, just that
DD
I could have been molded by anyone
D
The neo Nazi boys, they were nice to me
F#m
They smiled at me and they noticed me
Bm
But the best thing that ever happened to me
G
Is that none of these boys hit on me
D
I could have demonstrated
F#m
Played the bass guitar in a neo Nazi band
Bm
Would have been the same in some ways
G
Been someone else in other ways
BmAG
It's my scariest sliding doors memory
BmAG
I want it sliced in a shredder thrown out of me
DF#mGG
The last night bus was departing
DD
So I had to leave
D
I see you on the subway
F#m
You're 30 and you're into hate
Bm
Now, at 30, some people are grown up
A
Have minds of their own
D
And I get a letter from you man
F#m
You're 50 and you're into hate
Bm
Now, at 50, some people are grown up
AA7
Have minds of their own
D
But, you got the wrong attention
F#m
At exactly the right time
GG
You got the wrong attention
D
So I'm not gonna hate at you 'cause you hate women
F#m
I'm not gonna hate at you 'cause you hate color
Bm
I'm gonna wish so hard for someone to give you
GG
The right attention, the right love
DF#m
And turn this around
GG
That someone's gonna be your last night bus
D
This night out on the town
DF#mGG
That someone's gonna be your last night bus
D
This night out on the town
