[Verse 1]

C# ////				A# ////
      I'm the son of rage and love          The Jesus of Suburbia
    F#                               G#
The bible of none of the above- on a steady diet of:
C#////                        A# ////
      Soda pop and Ritalin           No one ever died for my
F#                                               G#
Sins in Hell, as far as I can tell, at least the ones I got away with

[chorus]
            F#                 G#            F#                  G#

     F#              G#                             C#// G#/// F#////// (2x)
in a land of make believe that don't believe in me

[Verse 2]

C#////                         A#////
     Get my television fix,         sitting on my crucifix
  F#			               G#
A living room or my private womb, while the moms and Brads are away
C# ////			  	     A#////
      To fall in love and fall in debt          to alchohol and cigarettes
    F#  			           G#
and mary-jane to keep me insane, doing someone else's cocaine

[chorus]
            F#                 G#            F#                  G#

[Intro]
F#.... G#........

[Verse 1]
       C#                         C
At the center of the earth in the parking lot
       A#         G#
of the 7-11 where I was taught
F#                       G#
    The motto was just a lie-
        C#                               C
It says home is where your heart is, but what a shame,
       A#                       G#
'cause everyone's heart doesn?t beat the same
F#                      G#
    It's beating out of time

[chorus]
 A#        G#        C#                F#
    City of the Dead,   at the end of another lost highway
 A#           G#           F#
    signs misleading to nowhere
 A#        G#          C#                     F#
    City of the Damned,    lost children with dirty faces today
 A#        G#              F#
    No one really seems to care

[Verse 2]
  C#                       C                       A#
I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall like the holy scriptures
       G#
Of the shopping mall
F#                             G#
    And though it seemed to confess:
C#                              C                  A#
It didn't say much, but it only confirmed that the center of the earth
       G#
Is the end of the world-
F#                         G#
    And I could really care less

[chorus]
 A#        G#        C#                F#
    City of the Dead,   at the end of another lost highway
 A#           G#           F#
    signs misleading to nowhere
 A#        G#          C#                     F#
    City of the Damned,    lost children with dirty faces today
 A#        G#              F#
    No one really seems to care

I don't care if you don't, I don't care if you don't, I don't care if you don't care
G#           C#            G#           C#            F#           C#           G#

I don't care if you don't, I don't care if you don't, I don't care if you don't care
F#  G#     C#
I   don't  care

Born and raised by hypocrites
C#(bass)                       A  G#
Hearts recycled but never saved
C#(bass)                    A  G#
From the cradle to the grave

We are the kids of war and peace

From Anaheim to the Middle East

I can't remember a word that you were saying

    Are we demented or am I disturbed
    C#                        G#            D#

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone

Check my vital signs
to know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone I walk a...

CHORUS

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ahhh...

I walk alone I walk a...

Lyrics

She's an extraordinary girl
In an ordinary world
And she can't seem to get away
He lacks the courage in his mind
like a child left behind
like a pet left in the rain

she's all alone again
wiping the tears from her eyes
some days he feels like dying
she gets so sick of crying

she sees the mirror of herself
an image she wants to tell
to anyone willing to buy
he steals the image in her kiss
from her heart's apocalypse
from the one called what?sername

she's all alone again
wiping the tears from her eyes
some days he feels like dying
some days it's not worth trying
now that they both are finding
she gets so sick of crying

A      E    D  A
Please call me only
A  E	   D        A
if you are coming home
E 	         A
Waste another year flies by
E 	         A
Waste a night or two
(Pause)
D	    A	      D-E
You taught me how to live-
A	        D E
In the streets of shame
A	                D             E
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
A	         D E
There's no sign of hope
A	                   D           E
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
A	        D E
There's a glow of light
A	             D             E
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
A	        D E
Bearing gifts and trust
A	  D                E
A fixture in the city of lust
F#m		D  A
What the h***'s your name?
F#m		     D            A
What's your pleasure what is your pain?
F#m	     D   A
Do you dream too much?
D		A		          E
Do you think what you need is a crutch
A	D	E
In the crowd of pain
          A	    D	    E
St. Jimmy comes without any shame
        A	              D	            E
He says "we're f***ed up" But we're not the same
            A	        D	     E
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame
F#m	      D  A
Jimmy died today
F#m	      D  A
He blew out his brains into the bay
F#m	      D  A
In the state of mind
D	A	E
Is my own private suicide

Jesus is filling out paperwork now
G	  D	A
At the facility on East 12th St.
D		       G      D
He's not listened to a single word now
G	      D	           A
He's in his own world and he's daydreaming
D		      G	        D
He'd rather be doing something else now
     G		     D	            A
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly

D		            G	   D
His life's on the line with anxiety now

And she had enough and he had plenty

And you can't tell anyone

'Cause no one's here

Part V: We're coming home again

  Intro:
D 	  B 	  G 	  A

D                       B
Here they come marching down the street
D                            B                  G-A
Like a desperation murmur of a heartbeat
D                    B
Coming back from the edge of town
G                B     -G-A
Underneath their feet

The time has come and it's going nowhere
D                     B        G     A
Nobody ever said that life was fair now
D                               B
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
G             A   - D--A-
In the summer heat
G		A
The world is spinning around and
G              A             D--A
Around, out of control again
G 	    A        B		      E
From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down
D	G		A
So send my love a letterbomb
D	  G     A
And visit me in h***
G          A   G A   D-- A
We're the ones going
D
Home
D		A
We're coming home again

I started f***in' running

As soon as my feet touched ground

And to you and me, that's jingle town

That's home

We're coming home again
D
Home
D		A
We're coming home again
D            A
Nobody likes you

Everyone left you
        D           A
They?re all out without you
G        A-----D
Havin' fun...

Who dares to kill the ratings of my tab!?!?!?! It was 5.00 (1) earlier. I'm 94% sure it is accurate. I worked my ass off doing it! I'm only 12 yrs. old.
