[Intro 1]
[E][Am][D][Am][F#dim]
[E][Am][F#dim][E][G#aug][E][Am]
[E]I've

[Verse 1]
tried dolls that
were guar[Am]anteed [F#dim]sixteen o[Am]r und[D]er none [E]were very exciting[F#dim]
[D]Sorta [E]like a laugh track or wha[Am]cking off[F#dim] they'll
[Cdim]get you [D]off but [E]it's [Am]just [E]not [Am]the real thing
[E]Its been decades [Am]since [D]my pit days
[Am]But I haven't [E]shaken i[Am]t
- I sit there like [E]an idiot
Still caught up in [Am]the o[F#dim]ld punk protocol
[D]And dre[E]aming that the teenagers
will [Am]think that [D]I'm [E]a radic[Am]al

[Verse 2]
and I still [G#aug]wait for the [Am]bus t[D]o come where
the high [C]school got torn [D]down
[G#aug]Still exp[Am]ecting to [D]find true love among
[C]the skateboarders hanging [Am]out
In [D]back of the bank in my ho[Am]metown
[Gsus4][F#dim][F][D][E]
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[E]all this talk and no ac[Am]tion's got me stiff
[E]fro[G#aug]m the tit to the bone[F#dim][Cdim][F#dim]
[E]So I'm [G#aug]liv ing in lala [Am]land [G#aug]- but
[Am]at l[G#aug]east I'm not l[F#dim]iving at home[Am]
[E]Same old catcalls,
the [Am]same old chemic[D]als
Same old thrills stealing [Am]stockings
[E]from the shopping [Am]mall
Its simple enough to grow the fuck up
happy with the rough cut
[E]Nobodys in here looking [G#aug]for
a [Am]diamond in the rough but

[Verse 4]
[Am]I st[G#aug]ill wait for my mom to c[D]ome and pick
me [C]up at holly's [D]house[F#dim][Am]
10 years after they [D]cashed it in to make a [C]multi- level
parking [F#dim]lot for a seve[D]n- eleven and burger k[Am]ing

[Verse 5]
I've got crypto[F#dim]graphs I've
got all the [F]phones [Am]tapped
It's proof enough [F#dim]it
is indis[F]putable
[Am]Love's not good [F#dim]enough I
want pho[F]tographs
[Am]Something that will [F#dim]teach me my
[F]arithmetic at [D]last..

[Verse 6]
[E]better get your kids in
[Am]- I'm on the loose again
[D]And get[E]ting mor[D]e ridiculou[F#dim]s the more I [Am]think I[F#dim] ought to[Am]
[D]get my [E]mind out of the [Am]gut t[F#dim]er[Cdim]
(it's getting [E]dangerous,
amanda- you [Am]are old enough to [Cdim]be the p[F#dim]ork)
He's [E]my own private [Am]highway
[D]from the cradle to the grave
I [F#dim]save a bundle skipping midd[Am]le
[E]age and saturdays
[Am]and

[Verse 7]
I [G#aug]still wait for the[E] cop[D]s to come where
the sta[Am]tion [C]since [Am]burned down[D][E]
[D]Sti[E]ll expecting they'll pic[D]k me up for all the[C] sins I
committed [D]in the back of the banged- up pickup truck

[Verse 8]
[Am]I've got [G]auto[Am]graphs,
[F#dim]backstage [F]passes and [Am]leather [G]jack[Am]et ba[F#dim]ck patch[F]es up the...[Am]
Ask me anything [F#dim]I've got evid[F]ence
[Am]Single serving [G]saccharine packets [D]dripping black with [F]lipstick [Am]kisses
