Verse 1 (Am, Am, G, Em)
E|E|E|E|------|||--|
Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun
With a lighter and some hairspray
Smoking in the girls' room

Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's
By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody

Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some
Now we look back and see that she didn't know how

We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

Chorus

        Dm  Dm  Am G
As we explode
        Dm  Dm  Am G
As we explode

Verse 2 (Am, Am, G, Em)
E|E|E|------|||-
Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart
Rolling around in them to see if you would

Get prickled slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade
We couldn't get enough

Then count the stars and the ten million woes
Just you and the universe judging each other

We never knew that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

Chorus

As we explode
        Dm  Dm Am G
As we explode
        Dm  Dm Am G
As we explode
          Dm  Dm Am G
As we let go

Verse 3 (Am, Am, G, Em)
E|E|E|------|||-
It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong
Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar
More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell

At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break
Such a good, good story to tell
You bully, you break, you bully, you break
You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake

Verse 4 (F, F, G Em)
E|E|E|------|||-
You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it and you're in it and it's

spinning
And it's wild

We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste
