Jack-in-the-box 
     E7           E7(add#11) 
I've been here so long 
    E7          E7(add#11) 
I'm starting to rot 
           Asus2           F/A 
And you're taking my fear 
             E7   E7(add#11) 
Selling it in jars 

(3x) 
E7  E7(add#11) 

Verse 
E7          E7(add#11) 
Back on the playground 
   E7             E7(add#11) 
My knee socks are bloody 
E7         E7(add#11) 
I need someone  
   E7          E7(add#11) 
To toss the confetti 
       Asus2               F/A 
At the ticker-tape parade 
                 E7     E7(add#11)  E7  E7(add#11) 
I'm throwing for myself 

C           Dadd4(add9) 
Look to the floor 
    G6         G6/F# 
She used to be pretty 
C           Dadd4(add9) 
Don't say a word 
          G6         G6/F# 
But she's drying out slowly 
C            Dadd4(add9) 
You have the answers 
A7                   E7  E7(add#11) 
I have the car keys___

Verse 
E7        E7(add#11) 
Lightning rod 
E7             E7(add#11) 
Strapped to my shoulders 
    E7                E7(add#11) 
I'm searching through windows 
    E7           E7(add#11) 
For rain and for thunder 
           Asus2               F/A 
That could bring to a merciful end 
               E7  E7(add#11)  E7  E7(add#11) 
This overdrawn wait 

Verse 
E7     E7(add#11) 
Carpet burns  
E7       E7(add#11) 
Up to my elbows 
     E7            E7(add#11) 
It's time that you learn 
  E7             E7(add#11) 
I guess I should tell you 
         Asus2                 F/A 
That the things you know about me 
           E7   E7(add#11)  E7  E7(add#11) 
Never were true 

C           Dadd4(add9) 
Look to the floor 
  G6         G6/F# 
I used to be pretty 
C           Dadd4(add9) 
Don't say a word 
        G6         G6/F# 
But I'm drying out quickly

You have the answers 
A7                    E7  E7(add#11)   
I have the car keys____
