- I - Jesus Of Suburbia [0:00]


C♯ C♯ C♯ C♯!
         I'm the son of rage and love
A♯mA♯mA♯mA♯m!                               \
     The Jesus of Suburbia
         F♯                                      w/ (ooh)
From the Bible of none of the above
     G♯
On a steady diet of 

Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my
Sins in hell as far as I can tell				
At least the ones I've gotten away with

              F♯                 G♯
  And there's nothing wrong with me
          F♯                  G♯
  This is how I'm supposed to be
       F♯             G♯
  In a land of make believe
         !              C♯  G♯ F♯  x 2
  That don't believe in me

Get my television fix 
Sitting on my crucifix
The living room in my private womb
While the moms and brads are away

To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes
And Mary Jane to keep me insane
And doing someone else's cocaine 

  Refrain

C♯ C♯ C♯ C♯!  A♯mA♯mA♯mA♯m!  \ F♯  G♯

C♯ C♯ C♯ C♯!  E♯ E♯ E♯ E♯!  A♯mA♯mA♯m  G♯ G♯ G♯


- II - City Of The Damned [1:50]


F♯  G♯  w/ piano

       C♯                         G♯/B♯
At the center of the earth in the parking lot
       A♯m       G♯                              \
Of the 7-11 were I was taught
F♯                   G♯
The motto was just a lie

It says home is were your heart is but what a shame
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same
It's beating out of time

  A♯m  G♯                                   w/ (hey)
  City of the dead
  C♯             F♯
  At the end of another lost highway
  A♯m      G♯           F♯
  Signs misleading to nowhere

  City of the damned
  Lost children with there dirty faces today
  No one really seems to care

I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess

It didn't say much but it only confirmed that
The center of the earth is the end of the world
And I could really care less 

  Refrain

F♯  syncopé  hey


- III - I Don't Care [3:42]


G♯  C♯  G♯  C♯  F♯  C♯  G♯  w/ mélodie

  I don't care if you don't
  I don't care if you don't            x 4
  I don't care if you don't care

F♯ G♯   {C♯    A G♯  x 4}
I don't care

c♯                          A G♯
Everyone is so full of shit
Burn and raised by hypocrites
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradle to the grave

We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the Middle East
We are the stories and disciples of
The Jesus of Suburbia

  F♯             G♯    C♯ G♯
  Land of make believe
  And it don't believe in me
  Land of make believe
  And I don't believe -

  F♯ G♯   C♯
  I don't care (ooh ooh ooh)  x 4

F♯ G♯   C♯!  C♯! C♯! C♯! G♯G♯G♯G♯  (reste)
I don't care

G♯                     B♯m                            w/ punchs slidés
Dearly beloved are you listening?
C♯                      G♯               D♯
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed?                       (doux)
The space that's in between insane and insecure

G♯  B♯m  C♯  G♯  D♯  w/ (ooh)

Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

G♯  B♯m  C♯  G♯  D♯  w/ (ooh)


- V - Tales Of Another Broken Home [6:30]


G♯! (basse g♯)  F♯ C♯  x 4

   G♯       F♯  C♯ G♯      F♯ C♯
To live and not to breathe
Is to die in tragedy
To run, to run away
To find what you believe

      C♯(G♯)         D♯(G♯)
  And I      leave behind
       C♯(G♯)               D♯(G♯)
  This hurricane of fucking lies

I lost my faith to this
This town that don't exist
So I run, I run away 
The light of masochist

  And I leave behind
  This hurricane of fucking lies

  And I walked this line
  A million and one fucking times - but not this time

E♯m	     D♯           G♯	     C♯                 (piano doux)
I don't feel any shame, I won't apologize
C♯		 D♯		 G♯
When there ain't nowhere you can go
C♯       D♯                 G♯               C♯
Running away from pain when you've been victimized
C♯          D♯
Tales from another broken...

Hoooooooome
