G 
So, you wanted 
                         D 
That's what you get for wanting 

You got it 
                         Em 
That's what you get for getting 

Forgotten 
                    B 
You're gardening a rotting bed 

Of raygun-era icons 

G 
So 

Let's start it 

Let's start it 
          D 
From the minute you felt it 
                     Em 
You felt it like a prison 

A panic, you felt it 
           B 
Like that coffee scene 

From Moscow on the Hudson 

G 
So 

...Be honest 
                       D 
It's not as if you're happy about it 
                      Em 
It's not as if you're animatronic 
                    C 
It's not as if you couldn't 

Cry out any time you wanted 

 C 
Olly olly oxen free 
 D 
All the people you will never be 
 C 
Olly olly oxen free 
 D 
Olly olly olly olly 

Olly olly olly olly 

 G 
Fate 

You call it 

You color it 
     D 
The color you want it 

You carpet it 
       Em 
That's awful convenient 
                      B 
You paint yourself a nice white room 

With stripes and matching curtains 

G 
So 

You forfeit 
                    D 
You cannot build a river across it 
                     Em 
You cannot hold your own heart hostage 
                       C 
You do not have the strength 

To gag yourself in every closet 

      G 
The wrong place, wrong mind 

Timing's always bad 
               D 
You're such a sad case 

Misplaced renaissance 
               Em 
Inventor of a worldwide 

Heartbreak, taking it in stride 
                 C 
'Cause you're an expert 

Aren't you? 

Aren't you just a dime a dozen? 
 G 
Murderous monosyllabic moron 

With no sense of purpose 
 D 
Working on your songs all night 

To justify your worthlessness 
   Em 
To anyone who's watching 

If they only saw your alter egos 
  C 
Pretty in the shop windows 

Where you got auctioned hours ago 

C 
Olly olly oxen free 
D 
All the people you will never be 
C 
Olly olly oxen free 
D 
olly olly olly olly 

Higher than the king can 

 C 
See no evil, hear no evil 
 D 
Capture me and throw the key 
 C 
See no evil, hear no evil 
 D 
Capture me and throw the key away 

Throw the key away 

G 
So 

It's over 
                   D 
You're lying in a coffin of clutter 
                      Em 
Your father and your sister, your drummer 
                          B 
Are sorting through your Soft Cell tapes 
                           G 
And lifesaver collection, and you wonder 
                    D 
You wonder if you could've done better 
                    Em 
You wonder if you should've surrendered 

Before you learned that 
 C 
Nobody actually wants a fucking martyr 

 C 
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't 

Didn't you see? 
 D 
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't 

Didn't you see? 
 C 
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't 

Didn't you see me? 
 D 
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't 

Didn't you see me? 

C 
Olly olly oxen free 
D 
All the people you will never be 
C 
Olly olly oxen free 
D 
olly olly olly olly 

Higher than the king can 

 C 
See no evil, hear no evil 
 D 
Capture me and throw the key 
 C 
See no evil, hear no evil 
 D 
Capture me and throw the key away 
  C 
Throw the key away 
  D 
Throw the key away
