Homecoming Serf Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Sixty- five mil[D]es an hou[G]r
[C]I'm not home yet
Telephone [D]poles get
Blurred to[G]gether, in gray weather
Til they [D]look like crucifixes
Until [C]something in me thinks if
I was nimble enough
[D]I'd climb on up [G]and be a symbol
Giving [D]cars a heart attack
I got [C]a knack for these shock tactics
And I want my sub[G]urb [D]back

[Verse 2]
But [G]it was never mine
Besides, I'd [D]never crucify
Myself, and [C]Jesus of suburbia's
A myth that never died
[D]Homecoming queen,

[Verse 3]
[G]not in my dreams
I'll be homecom[D]ing serf, it seems
[C]But hey, it doesn't even bother me
[G]We've mov[C]ed away,
and [D]who needs royalty?

[Verse 4]
[C]I lov[D]e vacation day[G]s
It's a blacked- out [D]haze I'm [C]in
This cul [D]de sac is coming
[G]Back, back back [D]back back
[C]Who car[D]es if we're obscu[G]re
(Woah)
[Em]Homecoming ser[D]f
I know [C]this quiet [D]life, it used [Eb]to hurt
[Em]But now we're danc[C]ing round
and [D]laughing in [G]the dirt

[Verse 5]
It's [G]barely 1 p.m.
And [D]my cooking's barely done
And my [C]thighs feel like the chicken
breast I hated slicing [D]up
I think I'll [G]be a vegetarian,
kill [D]two birds with one stone
I'll lose [C]a stone, I'll feel humane
I cook the meat and eat it any[D]way

[Verse 6]
I [G]think that I'll rebel now
Not like [D]my age is too late
I'm still half [C]straight but I can easily
Act gayer than [D]fck h8
And I'll tell [G]kids to smoke cigs and weed
Des[D]pite the surgeon's warning
I'll [C]eat LSD- soaked Mini Wheats
In white Russians [D]for breakfast every [C]morning
I [D]love vacation

[Verse 7]
[G]days
It's a [Em]blacked- out [D]haze I'm [C]in
This cul [D]de sac is coming
[G]Back, back [Em]back [D]back [C]back
Who [D]cares if we're ob[G]scure
(Woah)
[Em]Homecoming ser[D]f
[C]I know this quiet [D]life, it used [Eb]to hurt
[Em]But now we're danc[C]ing round
and [D]laughing in the [G]dirt

[Verse 8]
[C]La la la la la [D]la la la
La [Eb]la la [Em]la la l[C]a la la
[D]La la la la [Eb]la l[Em]a la la[C]
Woah
La la [D]la la la [Eb]la la [Em]la[C][D]

[Verse 9]
Don't [G]think I'm pointing fingers
These are [D]crocodile tears
It's no one's [C]fault but mine
That I shut up
For all of eighteen [D]years
But now [G]my friends are
driving out
We're gonna [D]walk around the mall
And we'll [C]be the youngest there
Who cares, we'll call ourselves [D]adult[C]s
At [D]least I've got a cat

[Verse 10]
[G]
Though she [Em]hates me [D]bad, it [C]seems
But [D]we reign over [G]the
SUVs and [Em]Dairy Queens
[D]This isn[C]'t lyr[D]icism
I'm just [G]dropping rhymes like [Em]flies[D]
[C]Let's go freak out [D]everyone
No [Eb]reason, who knows [Em]why?

[Verse 11]
(What's on [C]your mind?)
Not [D]like I've got [Eb]the time
to stick [Em]around
(I'll catch [C]my flight)
Make like [D]a pop- punk kid,
and [Eb]get out of this [Em]town
(What's on [C]your mind?)
There's [D]no point left to
[Eb]keep your image down
[Em]Let's terr[C]ify[D][C]
I [D]love vacation

[Verse 12]
[G]days
It's a [Em]blacked- out [D]haze I'm [C]in
This cul [D]de sac is coming
[G]Back, back [Em]back [D]back back
[C]Who car[D]es if we're obscu[G]re
(Woah)
Home[Em]coming ser[D]f
I know [C]this quiet [D]life, it used [Eb]to hurt
[Em]But now we're danc[C]ing round
and [D]laughing in the [Eb]dirt[Em]

[Verse 13]
This [C]one goes out [D]to my
homecoming [Eb]serfs[Em]
Yeah, [C]pour one out [D]for my
homecoming [Eb]serfs[Em]
This [C]one goes out to my
[D]homecoming [Eb]serfs[Em]
We're [C]dancing round and [D]laughing in the dirt
