[Verse 1]
[C]Geo[Am]rge d[C]ie[Am]d[D]
in the [C]fifth [Am]grade
No one ever knew [F]why[C]
[Am]He was out selling [C]lem[Am]onade
On the Fourth of Ju[F#dim]ly,
[D]and[Dm] he died
[C]Sister [Am]Claire said that

[Verse 2]
he [C]was
[Am]An angel on Ea[F]rth
[C]She [D]stood there [Am]and she [C]told [Am]us
She had clearly rehearsed
[F]eve[E]ry verse
[Em]Of the lies [D]that [F]tie you [G]down
[C][Am][C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
[C]And I'v[Am]e forgotten my
[C]first [Am]love
I haven't seen her since [F]when
[C]But the[Am]re's a bum on the corner
He thinks that I'm his best [F#dim]friend,
[D]we [Dm]pretend

[Verse 4]
[C]He [Am]says the rapture is any day
That's when God's [F]coming down
[C]Although [Am]perhaps
[C]He should stay [Am]away
They'll run him right [F]out of town,
[E]like a clown
With the [Em]lies [D]that tie[F] you dow[G]n
[C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]
[Am]There are times when a man feels
That it's him against the
[F]world[C]
[Am]There are times when a [C]man [Am]steals
From the love [F#dim]of his girl
[D]

[Verse 6]
[Dm][C]
[Am]There are days when a beast dies
Long before the [F]gun
[C]And the[Am]re are days when a
crow flies
Straight into [F]the sun, [E]to be done
[Am]With the lies [D]that [F]tie you [G]down
The [Am]lies [D]that

[Verse 7]
[F]tie you [G]down
The [Am]lies [D]that [F]tie you [E]down
[Am]

[Verse 8]
Nineteen [Dm]ninety...
[Am]Nineteen ninet[F]y...[Am]
[F#dim]Nineteen [Am]ninety- nine
It's al[Dm]most [Am]time

[Outro 1]
