Part I:

Ab         Fm
Ab         Fm

Ab
A band trip dance - what could be the harm, 
Fm
but a six week vacation from the use of my right arm? 
Ab
Just the two hits, I remember nothing more: 
Fm
Alex hitting the switch and me hitting the floor. 

C#           Fm   Bbm   Fm
We're taking this lying down. 
Bbm                  Fm                     C
The one thing I can stand up for is resting supine on the ground. 
C#        Fm             Bbm           Fm
Mr. McDermott, won't you help me to my feet? 
Bbm                          Fm          C                         Ab
Because the drumline's going wild in the San Francisco streets.

Ab
The long walk home, an hour and a half, 
Fm
quickly turns to three or four with stops at every underpass, 
Ab
but by June 22nd, I have done the math. 
Fm
That's a hundred and five liters I'll consume of Dr. Path. 

C#              Fm         Bbm        Fm     
Some girls will tell their secrets to anyone. 
Bbm                  Fm                       C
The word "love" gets thrown around a lot near graduation, 
C#              Fm      Bbm                  Fm
so please don't whisper sweet nothings in my ear
Bbm                         Fm           C                        C#      Ab
when the sound of shredding vocal chords is what I want to hear, 
Eb                                       E
because we're going to San Francisco and I forget to wear some flowers in my hair.

C                  G            F            C
She's got a secret surname that nobody knows 
C                      G                    F                  C
with the most gorgeous hyphen (you wouldn't believe the way it glows) 
Am               C               F             G
and I'm the only one who gets to see it way up close, 
F                                       G
so the rest of you can stick it up your nose. 

C                     G                    F           C
Last night, I had the strangest dream that I have ever known -
C               G            F                  C
my mother, in a fit of rage, chases me from our home. 
Am             C              F              G
My mother, the murderer holds me down in the road. 
F                                 Ab
She's got the nail clippers at my throat.

Ab                                           Fm
Even though things lately may have been real horrorshow, 
                          C#                    Eb
I'm wishing I was back in utero. I'd like to go back to the way that things were before,
Ab                                      Fm 
but apparently, I'm looking at physical therapy. 
                           C#                                        Eb
It won't be exactly how it used to be. It ain't hard to see that it's not that way, not that way anymore. 
Ab                                 Fm
Jesus Christ is suffering upon his cross tonight. 
                               C#                          Eb                                     Ab       Fm
I just sit outside waiting for frost to bite. "It's always this way," she says on her way out the door. 
C#            Eb
Wait and see. The rest is yet to reveal itself to me.
