Verse 1
               Dmaj7 
You take your clothes off 
             Bm 
Right after school 
           G 
The tea is on 
              A 
The flame is blue 
            Dmaj7 
You hope it won't take 
         Bm 
All afternoon 
         G 
The TV is waiting 
            A 
To talk to you 
                Dmaj7 
It's your naked body 
          Bm 
On white velour 
                 G 
But there's no feeling 
                A 
Just weight on you 
              Dmaj7 
So you get nauseous now 
                 Bm 
As he speaks to you 
               G 
Such proper language 
              A 
For acts so cruel 
 
Chorus
            Bm             G 
He says "we all follow the rules 
          Bm        A     G              A 
We can't very well go and break them now can we? 
    Bm       Dmaj7    A        G 
For you, for you, for you ....... 
 
Verse 2
           Dmaj7 
Your older sisters 
            Bm 
I had them too 
              G 
But you're my favorite 
               A 
You know it's true 
                   Dmaj7 
You look like your mother 
                Bm 
In that thin disguise 
               G 
Your parting mouth 
              A 
Your shutting eyes 
                    Dmaj7 
And the way that you hate me 
                        Bm 
And the length of your hair 
                   G 
It's the reason I made you 
                        A 
It's the bond that we share 
 
Chorus
              Bm             G 
You see were all trying to endure 
          Bm     A      G                  A 
You could easily go and make your own life somewhere 
         Bm            Dmaj7         A                                              G 
Couldn't you? Couldn't you? Couldn't you, couldn't you, couldn't you, couldn't you, couldn't you?" 
 
Bridge
         Bm   A  G 
With the sun you ride 
        Bm   A    G 
But you keep your eyes shut 
    Bm    A     G 
The alarm clock lies 
            Bm     A  G 
Just get to school on time 
 
Verse 3
                           Dmaj7 
Where you're a bag of warm fluid 
                               Bm 
Where you're the corpse in the class 
                         G 
You walk so near to the lockers 
                      A 
You lay so low in the grass 
                               Dmaj7 
Did you get that coat from the principal? 
                               Bm 
Did you get that bruise on the bus? 
                     G 
You should wash your hair more 
                          A 
You should look more like us 
              Dmaj7 
But I saw you walking once 
                  Bm 
Under powder blue skies 
            G 
You looked cold still 
              A 
Your collar was high 
                    Dmaj7 
And when I tried to talk to you 
                Bm 
But you walked right by 
                     G 
I don't know what I said then 
                A 
"Hello" or "Goodbye" 
 
Refrain
            Bm                G 
But that we all want to to be pure 
        Bm      A   G               A 
But it isn't a very easy thing, now is it? 
  Dmaj7   Bm     G      A 
To do, To do, To do, To do, 
  Dmaj7      Bm         G         A 
To do, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Oohoooh 
  Dmaj7      Bm         G         A 
To do, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, To do 
  Dmaj7      Bm         G 
To do, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh 
      A 
Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it? 
Bm (final chord)
