Start Jamming...
Alright, what would you like to hear?
We'll make it a pretender song.
Okay.
Hey, Greg, this is like a mob mentality up here.
Come on, girls, let's riot!
Everyone run to the exits as fast as you can.
Hey, if my rap can't clear this hall, I don't know what can.
See how this goes.

[Em] [G] [D] [A] saw a picture of [G] you
Oh oh [D] oh

To [D] a [A] place you passed
[Em] But we've been [G] cast out
Oh oh [D] oh
[A] And now [Em] we're back in the [G] fights
[Em] [A] Back on the train
[Em] [A] Oh [Em] [A] oh oh
[D] Back on the train

[D] Circumstance
Be [G] on that control
Oh oh oh
[D] [A] Oh oh oh
See in [G] the mirrors of the world
[D] [A] Locked in the house like [G] a pigeon from hell
You're [D] [A] sooner than an egg
But you [Em] soon do like [G] flies

[D] [A] [G] [Gm]
[D] [Dm] [A] does it [D] feel
[Dm] To force us to live like we do
[A] Bring me to my [D] knees
[A] When I see [Dm] what they've done to you
[A]
[Dm] [A] [Dm] But I'll die as I stand here today
[A] Knowing deep [D] in my heart
[A] You'll fall to [D] ruin [Dm] one [A] day
For making us part

[B] [A] [Abm] [A] [E]
[B] found a picture of [A] you
[B] Oh oh [E]
[B] oh
Those were the happiest [A] days of my [B] life
[E] Like a [B] break in the bottle
[A] With your past
[B] Oh oh [E] oh
In [B] the desperate life of [A] a lonely [B] heart
[A] Now [B] we're back on the [A] train
[B] Oh [E]
