Em Am Em Am
Those that would judge would say you're aloof
Em Am Em
But you know the truth is a seed
Am D
You know what you need is a conflagration
Em Am
Cause when I see the blood
Em Am
And the bits of your broken tooth
Em Am Em
It gives me the proof that I need
Am
It's the proof that you bleed
D
It's a revelation
G D7
Yeah it's a revelation, it's a revelation
G C D
I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
G C D
Propped up in the hardware store
G C D
Propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
G C D

Em

Em C

G
Cause when you're running for the game against Alfonzo
C G

C G

D

G D
Oh, I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
G C D
And you're propped up in the hardware store
G D
You were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
G C D
Of those legionnaires with two-by-four's
Em
As they're marching off to war
D7
Yeah they're marching off to war
G D G
Oh they're marching
