I've always been impressed with a girl who could sing for a summer of breakfast as [G] well.
That's who I am.
[D] Heaven help me.
Simply don't like these campaigners around here as you know, they're not the ones with the war.
[G] And that's what gets me in trouble.
Heaven [D] help me.
[G]
Goodbye [A] and good luck [D] to all the policies [G] you've broken.
[A] Goodbye and good luck [D] to all the rubbish that you've [G] spoken.
Your life is lost, [A] it's dignity, [D] it's beauty [G] and it's passion.

There you are standing at the bar and you're giving me grief about the things you [G] are.
And that chip on your shoulder gets bigger as you [D] get older.
One of these nights you're gonna get caught, this'll give you a pregnant.
Lost the thought [G] you're a jetty cage, you [Em] just wanna [D] have a blast you sir.
[G] Sign up and [A] sign up [D] for all the liberties [G] you've taken.
Sign up [A] and sign [D] up for all the friends you've [G] forsaken.
And if you choose to [A] waste [D] them while I think it's back [G]
to fashion.
You're an accident, [D] why do you have to happen?
[Em] [D] [G]
[D] [Em] [Bm]

[D] My rules are so unoriginal, I have all this self-loathing.
