Tom: Am
C E
F Am G
C E F
Countless suicide attempts
Am G C
And all his money was spent
E F
Chewing gum and cigarettes
Am G C
To keep his knees from shaking
E F
He never thought before you spoke
Am G C
Took back everything you meant
E F
And from an early age
Am G C
You learned to inhale and forget
E F
And who are you? And who are we?
Am G C
Photographs and diaries
E F
Spend your life working hard
Am G C
Spend your life studying
E F
And then you die. And then you die
Am G C
And then we read all your books
E F
And then you die. And then you die
Am G C
And then we criticize your work
E F Am G
E
You figured it out
F G E
You figured me out so good
E
I know you want it
F G E
They said you would
E
You're getting to close
F G E
And it's all too much
E
Afraid of
F G (mute strum)
The human touch
C E F Am G C
Give the kids all their candy
E F Am G C
Whatever makes them happy
E F Am G C
Give me seeds and I'll plant trees
E F
Learn from your mistakes
Am G C
My parents never learned from me
E F
And blasphemy on the walls
Am G C
Of the bathroom you wrote
E F
God is gay and no one cares,
Am G C
Even if you left a note
E F
Your suicide will go unheard
Am G C
Maybe 'cos you never spoke
E F
You were a wallflower
Am G C
You were my only hope
E F
Your songs never left your room
Am G C
You never showed your poetry
E F
Don't you die, don't you die
Am G C
Don't you dare die on me
E F Am G
E
You figured it out you
F G E
You figured me out so good
E
I know you want it,
F G E
They said you would
E
We're getting too close,
F G E
And it's all too much
E
Afraid of
F G (mute strum)
The human touch
C E F
Give the kids all their chrystal
Am G C
Oh god no
E F Am G C
Make them hate, give them pistols
E F Am G C
Fight a war but don't ask why
E F Am G
And oh my boy you're too young to die
Dm G
And what do you know
Am
About where we go
F Dm
After all of this
G
Spent my life wondering
Am
But still don't know
F Dm
Why we have to exist
G
To be anything at all
Am
Is beautiful I guess
F Dm
But I still don't know if I like it
Dm G
You unbuttoned your dress
Am
And you gave me a kiss
F
I'm gonna learn to forget
G
You gotta learn to forget
C E F Am G E
E
You figured it out

You figured me out so good

I know you want it

They said you would

You're getting too close

And it's all too much
