Verse: (listen to song for timing)

You take your clothes off right after school
The tea is on, the flame is blue
And you hope this won't take all afternoon
The tv's waiting to talk to you

It's your naked body on white velour
But there's no feeling, just weight on you

But you get nauseous now as he speaks to you
Such proper language for acts so cruel

Verse: repeat code on top of page

Your older sisters, I've had them too
But you're my favorite, you know it's true

You look like your mother, in that thin disguise
Your parting mouth, your shutting eyes

And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair
It's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we share

You see we're all trying to endure

You could easily go and make your own life somewhere
         Bm              Dma7            A          G
"Couldn't you?" "Couldn't you?" "Couldn't you?'' ....

With the sun in your eyes
       B5   A5        G5
But you keep your eyes shut
   B5   A5    G5
The alarm clock lies
      B5     A5 G5
Get to school on time

Verse: strum, throw in random picking

                          Dma7
Where you're a bag of warm fluid
                              Bm
Where you're the corpse in the class
                       G
You walk so near to the lockers
                     A
You lay so low in the grass
                             Dma7
Did you get that cut from the principal?
                              Bm
Did you get that bruise on the bus?
                    G
You should wash your hair more
                         A
You should look more like us
         Dma7                           Bm
I saw you walking once under powder blue skies
          G                          A
You looked cold still, your color was high
              Dma7                             Bm
And I tried to talk to you, but you walked right by
                     A    G                 A
I don't know which I said then, hello or goodbye
           B5                  G5           B5      A5   G5              A5
or that we are all trying to be pure, but it isn't a very easy thing, now is it?
