[Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Do you [Am]remember how [G]it was when you [F#m]bled?
When [F]you loved and burned in [E]those flames
that you've [Am]kep [G]t[C]
[Am]Because [F]Ves[Am]ta's
[G]long [F]been [Am]slee[D]ping
[F#m]Now yo[F]u've come to acc[E]ept
That your ana[Am]tomy defines
[G]more than a [C]few
[Bb]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Of the gaping holes in our social fabric
And it defines more than a few
One night [G]stands[Am]
And I mention more than a few
[A]Prison [Am]bars melted into
[G](melted into)
Melted [F]in, [E]melted [Am]in
Melted into wed[E]ding band[A]s[F]

[Verse 3]
We've [F]made [Dm]you a[F]ll
the [C]peasants and
We've [Dm]made ourselves
[Am]the king[C]s
[Bb]Our queens are still sub
[Am]ordinate as an [D]angel[Bb]
But we [Dm]make [Bb]it easy to[C] belong
[F]Which mea[Dm]ns it's easy to [C]be wrong
[Bb]Put some plastic i[Am]n your tits
[A]And you look [D]bet[E] te[F]r as[G] a bl[Am]onde[Bb][A]
[Dm][G][F][G]

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][Eb][D][G][F][C][Eb][F][Am]

[Verse 4]
I remember [Am]when you were hopeful
Never [F]thought your life would [G]be
[Am]Lived inside a coffin, with [A]a mora[Am]l
[F]Sacrifice, a million social [G]ob [Am]ligations
[D](Labels and expec[Am]tations)
(When you were [F]young and a modern
[G]sev[Am]enteen)
(In vogue) and vague
(Pursuit) of [F]a[Dm][Ddim][G]
[F][Am]
(Cosmopolitan dream)

[Verse 5]
So when you bled on the bed as [Am]you fed
those expectations
As a whore, not a human
You embraced with hesitations
The very parameters of all you can be
Not a mother, not an aunt
[A]Not a sis[Am]ter that's not subdued
Because dignity is not physical
And your flesh means more [A]than you
(Y[Am]our flesh means more than
[A]you[Am])[A]
(Your flesh means more
[Am]than you)[A]
(Your flesh [Am]means [G]more[Am][C][Am]
[F][G][Am][F][G][C]
[G]than-)

[Verse 6]
And [Am]I kn[G]ow[F][D][G]
[E][A]
Know we'll [Am]all w[D]ake
[F#m]up one[D] day[E]
With [A]a gun to the back [E]of[F#m]
[D]our [Dm]brain[Am] s[E]
[A]You'll [E]be ask[F#m]ing fo[D]r your ri[E]b
And [A]I'll smile and I'll call
[E]you[F#m] brave[D][E]
[A](Maybe someday) may[E]be someday,
[F#m]when
[D]When this bloody skull has dried
[A]Know our city is in [F#m]ruins
[D]When our greatest [A]source
of [E]pride
[A]A monument of dicks and rib[F#m]s
And [D]the gender crown
we wore
Where [Am]under[A]neath, a plaque will [F#m]read,
a [D]plaque will [E]read[Am][C]
"No [G]wo [Am]man, [F]no wom[G]an, no [C]wom[Am]an,
no woman is [A]a whore"

[Verse 7]
[A]Maybe someday, [Am]when[F#m]
When [D]this [F#m]bloody [E]skull has dried
[A]Know our city is in [Am]ruins
[F#m]When our g[D]reatest s[E]ource of pride
[A]A monument of dic[E]ks and ribs[A]
[F#m]And the ge[D]nder crown we[E] wore
Where [A]underneath, a plaque will [E]read,
[F#m]a plaq[D]ue will read[E]

[Verse 8]
[A](Maybe someday) may[E]be someday,
[A]when
[D]When this bloody [E]skull has dried
[A]Know our city [E]is in [Am]ru i[F#m]ns
[D]When our greatest [E]source
of pride
[A]A monument of [E]dicks and rib [Am]s
[F#m]And the ge[D]nder crown we[E] wore
Where [A]underneath, a plaque will read,
[E]a p[D]laque will rea[E]d

[Verse 9]
[A](Maybe someday) may[E]be someday,
[A]when
[F#m]When t[D]his bloody s[E]kull has dried
[A]Know our city [E]is in [Am]ru i[A]ns
[D]When our greatest [E]source
of [A]pride
A monument [E]of dicks and ribs
[D]And the gender crown [F#m]we wor[E]e
Where [A]underneath, a plaque will read,
[D]a plaque will [E]read
[A]Maybe

[Verse 10]
someday, when
When this bloody skull has dried
Know our city is in ruins
When our greatest source of pride
A monument of dicks and ribs
And the gender crown we wore
Where underneath, a plaque will read,
a plaque will read
"Ready, aim"
