          A 
There are four whole people in this house 
    A            A/G#       F#m 
And I'm the last one awake again 
      A 
And tomorrow we'll be biting nails 
    A                 A/G#          E 
And biting tongues to higher stakes again 
        D 
And I'm thinking if I just don't sleep 
    A 
The morning won't sneak up on me 
   D                       E 
As just another yesterday again 


[Refrão]

E         D                      E 
But I was brilliant for just one day 
   A        A/G#   F#m 
In nineteen eighty-eight 
         D 
I didn't have to talk, I didn't have to think 
     E 
They flushed my sins right down a sink 
    A               A/G#              F#m 
Ten fingers and ten toes, and you're okay 
                               E 
Yeah, I think that's what they say 
                   A 
Well, how about today? 

INTRO RIFF 

verse 2 
  A 
I think the world has got my number 
A                  A/G#         F#m 
Oh my God, there's digits in my eyes 
  A 
I think that I've been dancing 'round 
    A                    A/G#          F#m 
The brightest rooms in a cellophane disguise 
D 
Everybody still remembers 
A 
Things that I said last September 
D                           E 
Oh, but worst of all, so do I 


[Refrão]

            D                     E 
But I was a stranger for just one day 
A             A/G#     F#m 
Born with the cleanest slate 
   D 
My mother loved me before she knew me 
E 
Gave me a name that didn't suit me 
    A    A/G#      F#m 
But hey, that's okay 
                E 
I've kept it anyway 
        Esus4   E   A 
What if I threw it away? 

INTRO RIFF 

verse 3 
       A 
And to me God's just a metaphor 
       A            A/G#              F#m 
He's a metaphor for everything that's strange 
  A 
I take his name in vain a lot 
    A                 A/G#               E 
But I'm not sure just what it means these days 
    D 
Sometimes I wish that I were still religious 
 A 
Along with a lot of other wishes 
    D                                    E 
But I don't think that God would know my name 


[Refrão]

             D               E 
But I was forgiven in bygone days 
       A          A/G#   F#m 
When I still knew how to pray 
    D 
And all the words were etched in gold 
       E 
On the little Bible that I stole 
        A          A/G#       F#m 
From my teacher in second grade 
                         E 
The one I didn't mean to take 
    Esus4      E     A 
Oh, what would Jesus say? 

INTRO RIFF D E A   A/G#   F#m E 


[Refrão]

E               D             E 
And things were perfect for a time 
   A        A/G#   F#m 
In nineteen ninety-nine 
       D 
I was eleven years old, and we drove south 
      E 
Yeah, down to my grandfather's house 
    A    A/G#        F#m 
And everything was fine 
                      E 
It was right before he died 
        Esus4  E       A 
We were all so goddamn fine
