  E5 C5 G5 D5
  Oh me oh my  x 4

Em  Em  Em  Em  C C C C                C := Cmaj7
Get out of your 1 9 5 0's
G    D   G  D
Fantasy
Your face shines with misery
Transparently

Em            C
Spew out that sobering
           G           D
Half-assed victim rhetoric
Make 'em all squirm
While they chew on it

       E5 (P.M.)
It's a secret handshake
      C5                  D5 D5  D5 D5
And a passing wink of the eye
As the witches bridge club weekly
                             D5 D5  D5!
Meets to pen the tail on the sly

                      Em  f♯ G  b D  xDxD♯
  But they never ask "why oh whyyyy
  Don't we raise our voices to the sky?"

     Em                   C
  Instead you're mute and fawn
       G          D
  Just waiting to die
  Like some kind of hopeless
  Housewife

  But you can change while you're alive
  And let 'em all know at least you tried to kill the demons inside

  Oh me oh my  x 4

Damn your transcendental
Paralysis
We can work together
And make sense of this

Don't be so sure
You can chuck it all away
You've got to proceed
No matter how bad you want to stay

It's a natural cause
And a comfort zone there in your head
And the world turns away
As you tap the snooze button in bed

  But nobody can hear a word you said
  Your history was never read

  Reste du refrain

Em~
