, half step down (same thing) 

Em           G                      D       Asus4 
I'm tired of blood and over priced bubble gum, mom 
Em           G                     D               Asus4 
Nobody wake up there's nothing you could have done wrong 
Em               G                         D  
I'm wearing the same grin, I take it all on the chin 
                   Asus4 
I still believe everything that I read 
Em                 G                   D 
And sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's harder 
               Asus4                   Em 
Sometimes it's on sale, sometimes it never fails 
          G                        D 
I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely 
             Asus4                    Em 
She says my destiny is turning out all wrong 
                G 
And now I just sit here 
             D         Asus4 
And think of meaningful things to say 

(Course) 
             Em 
Symbolistic white walls 
        G 
Surround me and you 
        D 
Every single day 
    Asus4 
I am cheap and see through 


(Same pattern throughout the entire song) 


I'm tired of blood and over priced bubble gum  
nobody moves and nobody gets hurt for very long  
I'm wearing the same skin, I take it all on the chin  
I still believe everything that I hear  
and sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's easier  
and sometimes it's all free  

I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely  
she says inside of me is turning out all wrong  
so now I just sit here  
and think of meaningless things to say  

It's all right now  
take the world and make it yours again
