 [Verse]
A5                E G# F#
Born in the spring,    I’ve always needed
          A5         E G#
Something to feel new
F#                           A5        E G#
And come to think of it now, so did you
F#                            A5               E G#
Maybe that explains this fascination with death
F# 
Or a lack of ammunition

 [Chorus]
    E5     A5     B5        F#5
“It wasn’t me”, I heard you say
     E5       A5         B5      F#5
“The cross protects you from the shame”
     E5    A5         B5     A5     B5      A5
That comes along with living in the kind of world
      B5       F#5  E5       A5   E G#
Where boys can only kiss the girls

A5  E G#

 [Verse]
A5            E G#  F#
Excuse me, sir,     do you have a light?
            A5           E G#
I know that I can be dark
F#                                A5           E G#
But that’s what makes us brighter than the rest
F#                                   A5                    E G#
Who’d think a weight like this could make you feel blessed?
F#
Or a lack of seratonin

 [Chorus]
     E5          A5
That shakes your brain
     B5        F#5     E5  A5
Till nothing’s left to rearrange
B5          F#5     E5     A5
Folks start looking at you strange
B5        F#5      E5    A5
Stoned by noon you fade away
  B5     A5         B5      A5
Into the place that doesn’t feel
  B5       F#5     E5       A5   E G# F#5
Nothing to hide, nothing to steal

 [Bridge]
A5  E G# F#5 x2  F#

 [Verse]
A5            E G#  F#5    
Not bittersweet,    the taste of living
     A5            E G#
An impossible dream
F#5                          A5            E G#
But we both know your future wasn’t with me
F#
Long before your body betrayed you

 [Chorus]
E5   A5  B5          F#5       E5      A5
Royalty, through the streamers and the beams
     B5       F#5    E5         A5
They tied you up and called you queen
       B5  F#5   E5       A5
Passed out in a  bathroom stall
    B5           F#5    E5        A5
You still looked better than them all
  B5          A5       B5      A5
I kissed your head and walked away
B5          F#5    E5       A5
Watched the castle dance in flames
  B5          A5       B5      A5
I kissed your head and walked away
B5          F#5    E5       A5
Watched the castle dance in flames
