Intro:
Bm F# Bm F# G D F# G G D G D E A F#
Bm
those that will judge will say you're aloof
Bm E
but you know the truth is a seed you know what you need
A F#7
is a conflagration
Bm
cause when I see your blood and the bits of your broken tooth
Bm E
it gives me the proof that I need it's the proof that you bleed
A D F#7 F#
and it's a revelation / yeah it's a revelation / it's a revelation
D G Bm A
I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
D G Bm A
propped up in the hardware store
D G Bm A
propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
D G Bm A
of those legionnaires with two by fours
Bm E
As they're marching off to wars
A F#7
Yeah they're marching off to wars

Bm F#7
I didn't know what you were made of
Bm F#7
color of your blood what you're afraid of
G D
are you made of calcium or are you carbon based
F# G
cause if you're made of calcium I'll have to take a taste
G D
'Cause listen, calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth
G D
but it's one sure-fire way to know if you're mx-missile proof
E A A7
oh no, or if you're just aloof
Bm F#7
and you were in the ground in late November
Bm F#7
though the leaves and earth were damp
G D
did you think they would remember
F# G
how you almost made state champ
G D
and when you're running for the game against Alfonsus
G D
and you fell up on the ground and chipped your tooth
E
listen, that might really have surprised us
A A7
to learn that maybe you weren't really mx-missiles proof
D A
whoa, I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
D A
and you're propped up in the hardware store
D A
you were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
D A
of those legionnaires with two by fours
G A D
as they're marching off to wars
G A D
yeah they're marching off to wars
G D A D
Ohh they're marchinnnnnggg
