---------------------------
*Part I: Jesus of Suburbia*
---------------------------
[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#                          F#
   Soda pop and Ritalin       No one ever died for my sins in Hell,
                                   G#
as far as I can tell, at least the ones I got away with


[chorus]
            F#                  G#           F#                  G#
And there's nothing wrong with me,   this is how I'm supposed to be
     F#              G#                             C# G# F# C# F# G#
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]

G# C# F# C# G# F#
C# A# F# G#
C# F  A# G# F# G#
-----------------------------
*Part II: City of the Damned*
------------------------------
[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 dosen'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]

G# C# G# F# C#

-------------------------
*Part III: I 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
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
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
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#    A G# C# A G# C# A G# C# A# G#
I   don't  care
                      A  G#
Everyone's so full of sh**
                       A  G#
Born and raised by hypocrites
                          A  G#
Hearts recycled but never saved
                       A  G#
From the cradle to the grave
                           A  G#
We are the kids of war and peace
                           A  G#
from Anaheim to the Middle East
                                 A  G#
We are the stories and disciples of
                    A   G#
The Jesus of Suburbia

F#           G#       C#  G#
Land of make believe
F#           G#         C#  G#
and it don't believe in me
F#           G#       C#  G#
Land of make believe
F#           G#          F# G#    C#
And I don't believe, and I  don't care
F# G#    C#    F# G#    C#
I  don't care, I  don't care
F# G#    C#    F# G#    C#
I  don't care, I  don't care

C# C# C# G#

*Part IV: Dearly Beloved*
-------------------------

G#                      C
    Dearly Beloved, are you listening?
  C#                    G#               D#
I can't remember a word that you were saying
G#                           C
    Are we dememnted or have I disturbed
    C#                        G#        D#
the space that's inbetween insane and insecure?

G#  C  C#  G#  D#

G#                             C
    Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
C#                  G#
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
G#                         C
    Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
C#                             G#               D#
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse.

G#  C  C#  G#  D#
G#  F#  C#  G#  F#  C#  G#  F#  C#  G#  F#

--------------------------------------
*Part V: Tales of Another Broken Home*
--------------------------------------

C# G#        F#  C# G#       F# C# G#
To live, and not to breathe, is to die
   F# C# G#  F#
in tradgedy
C# G#      F#  C#G# F#
To run, to run away
C# G#        F#  C# G#    F#
to find what you believe

    C# G# C# G#C#      G# D# G#2 D# G#2 D# G#2
And I          leave behind
C#   G#       G# C#  G#    D# G#2 D# G#2 D# G#2
This hurricane of ****ing lies

  G#      F#    C# G#  F# C#   G#         F#    C#G#  F#
I lost my faith to this,  this town- that don't exist
   C#G#     F#  C#G# F# C#  G#       F#C#G#    F#
so I run, I run away,   the light of masochist

   C# G# C# G#C#      G# D# G#2 D# G#2 D# G#2
And I          leave behind
C#   G#       G# C#  G#    D# G#2 D# G#2 D# G#2
This hurricane of ****ing lies
   C# G# C# G#C#      G# D# G#2 D# G#2 D# G#2
And I         walked this line
  C#  G#  C#  G#  C#  G#  D# G#2 D# G#2 D# G#2
A million and one ****ing times
    F#  C#   G#   F#  C#  G#  F#  C#  G#
But not this time

F# C# G# F# C# G# F# C# G# F# C# G#
F# C# G# F# C# G# F# C# G# F# C# G#

C# G# C# G# C# G# D# G#2 D# G#2 D# G#2
C# G# C# G# C# G# D# G#2 D# G#2 D# G#2

C#              D#            G#        C#
   I don't feel any shame, I won't apologize
C#                  D#               G#
   when there ain't nowhere you can go
C#                 D#          G#               C#
   Running away from pain when you've been victimized
C#                    D#           G#
   tales from another broken-    home


       F#  C#  G#
You're leaving
       F#  C#  G#
You're leaving
       F#  C#  G#
You're leaving
           F# C#    G#
Ah- you're leaving home.

F#  C#  G#  F#  C#  G#
