Capo on 1st
PART I
[Verse 1]
C
I'm the son of rage and love
Am
The Jesus of suburbia
F
From the Bible of none of the above
G
On a steady diet of
C
Soda pop and Ritalin
Am
No one ever died for my
F
Sins in hell, as far as I can tell
G
At least the ones I've gotten away with
[Chorus 1]
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
That don't believe in me
[Instrumental]
C G F (x2)
[Verse 2]
C
Get my television fix
Am
Sitting on my crucifix
F
The living room or my private womb
G
While the moms and brads are away
C
To fall in love and fall in debt
Am
To alcohol and cigarettes
F
And Mary Jane to keep me insane
G
And doing someone else's cocaine
[Chorus 1]
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
That don't believe in me
[Instrumental]
C G F (x2)

PART II
[Verse 3]
C
At the center of the earth
C/B
In the parking lot
Am G
Of the 7 11 were I was taught
F G
The motto was just a lie
C
It says home is were your heart is
C/B
But what a shame
Am G
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same
F G
We're beating out of time
[Chorus 2]
Am G
City of the dead
C F
At the end of another lost highway
Am G F
Sign misleading to nowhere
Am G
City of the damned
C F
Lost children with dirty faces today
Am G F
No one really seems to care
[Verse 4]
C
I read the graffiti
C/B
In the bathroom stall
Am G
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
F G
And so it seemed to confess
C
It didn't say much
C/B
But it only confirmed that
Am G
The center of the earth is the end of the world
F G
And I could really care less
[Chorus 2]
Am G
City of the dead
C F
At the end of another lost highway
Am G F
Sign misleading to nowhere
Am G
City of the damned
C F
Lost children with dirty faces today
Am G F
No one really seems to care

C C C G# G (x2)
[Verse 5]
C G# G
Everyone is so full of shit
C G# G
Born and raised by hypocrites
C G# G
Hearts recycled but never saved
C G# G
From the cradle to the grave

From Anaheim to the Middle East

We are the stories and disciples

Of the Jesus of suburbia

PART IV
[Verse 6]
G Bm
Dearly beloved are you listening?
C G D
I can’t remember a word that you were saying
G Bm
Are we demented or are we disturbed?
C G D
The space that's in between insane and insecure
G Bm
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
C G D
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed

Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
C G D
For lack of a better word, and that's my beat excuse
[Instrumental]
