Gsus2 x00033


| Em               | Esus4           | G     | Gsus2 G |
  Everybody cares,   everybody under - stands

  | F    C    | B7
Yes everybody   cares about you

          | F          C       | B7
Yeah, and   whether or not you   want them to



VERSE2:
Chords:
Em    022000    F   x33211
Esus4 022200    C   x32010
G     320033    B7  x2120x
Gsus2 x00033


     | Em        | Esus4      Em             | G   | Gsus2 G |
It's a chemical em-brace that kicks you in the head

     | F       C      | B7             | F   C        | B7
To a   pure synthetic   sympathy  that infuriates you   totally

     | F     C      | B7                           | %    |   
And a  quiet lie that makes you want to scream and   shout

 | G                  | F       C                | Em  [Fill1]
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant   sun

| G                   | F      C         | Em  [Fill2]
  Raining its guiding   light upon every - one

    | Em                   | Esus4 E             | G | Gsus2 G |
For a moment's rest you can  lean against the bannister

      | F         C     | B7            |
After   running upstairs again and again

        | F         C     | B7  |
From wher-ever they came to fix you in, but


| Em               | Esus4  Em           | G   | Gsus2 G |
  Always fair city's finest follow right behind

             | F      C      | B7
You've got a   pretty vision   in your head,

| F      C       | B7
A pencil full of   poison lead

      | F        C      | B7
And a   sickened smile il-legal in every town
