[Eb] [F] [Cm] [C] You're a typical American boy from a typical American home.
Started out with a couple of breaks, [Cm] you couldn't leave [F] well enough alone.
[Eb] [C] You had to keep on messing around with stuff you didn't understand.
You were miserable as a child and you even worse [F] as a man.
[G] Didn't make it hanging around the [C] house, you wasn't having very much fun.
[G] You should have got a job and [C] moved out like you were a playful son of a gun.

[F] [Eb] And you drifted [C] into the city [G] looking for something to [F] do.
[C] Every day was different and it [Eb] was [F] always something new.
[Cm] You were always ready to try something that you ain't tried.
[C] Pretty soon your mind [Cm] said, son you better [F] look for a place to hide.
[G] You didn't do too well in [C] college, getting diggy in a ritual scene.
[G] I never soaked up very much [C] knowledge, so you [Gm] thought about [C] joining the Marines.
[Am] Oh, that [Bb] stuff didn't [G] last too [F] long and you never learned [G] how to fight.

Everybody in the whole damn place is wondering [F] who you are.
[Cm] I [C] believe you would go on home if you had [Cm] any place [C] to go.
There ain't nobody waiting for you that you'd [F] even care to know.
[G] But if you spoke the [C] language, you could move to a foreign [F] land.
[G] You could talk with you in [C] English and you still don't understand.
