Olly Olly Oxen Free

[G]So, you wanted
That's what you get for w[D]anting

You got it
That's what you get for g[Em]etting

Forgotten
You're gardening a r[B]otting bed

Of raygun-era icons

[G]So

Let's start it

Let's start it
From the m[D]inute you felt it
You felt it like a pr[Em]ison

A panic, you felt it
Like that c[B]offee scene

From Moscow on the Hudson

[G]So

...Be honest
It's not as if you're h[D]appy about it
It's not as if you're [Em]animatronic
It's not as if you c[C]ouldn't

Cry out any time you wanted

O[C]lly olly oxen free
A[D]ll the people you will never be
O[C]lly olly oxen free
O[D]lly olly olly olly

Olly olly olly olly

F[G]ate

You call it

You color it
The c[D]olor you want it

You carpet it
That's [Em]awful convenient
You paint yourself a n[B]ice white room

With stripes and matching curtains

[G]So

You forfeit
You cannot build a r[D]iver across it
You cannot hold your [Em]own heart hostage
You do not have the str[C]ength

To gag yourself in every closet

The wr[G]ong place, wrong mind

Timing's always bad
You're such a s[D]ad case

Misplaced renaissance
Inventor of a w[Em]orldwide

Heartbreak, taking it in stride
'Cause you're an [C]expert

Aren't you?

Aren't you just a dime a dozen?
M[G]urderous monosyllabic moron

With no sense of purpose
W[D]orking on your songs all night

To justify your worthlessness
To [Em]anyone who's watching

If they only saw your alter egos
Pr[C]etty in the shop windows

Where you got auctioned hours ago

[C]Olly olly oxen free
[D]All the people you will never be
[C]Olly olly oxen free
[D]olly olly olly olly

Higher than the king can

S[C]ee no evil, hear no evil
C[D]apture me and throw the key
S[C]ee no evil, hear no evil
C[D]apture me and throw the key away

Throw the key away

[G]So

It's over
You're lying in a c[D]offin of clutter
Your father and your s[Em]ister, your drummer
Are sorting through your S[B]oft Cell tapes
And lifesaver collection, a[G]nd you wonder
You wonder if you co[D]uld've done better
You wonder if you sh[Em]ould've surrendered

Before you learned that
N[C]obody actually wants a fucking martyr

D[C]idn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see?
D[D]idn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see?
D[C]idn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see me?
D[D]idn't you, didn't you, didn't

Didn't you see me?

[C]Olly olly oxen free
[D]All the people you will never be
[C]Olly olly oxen free
[D]olly olly olly olly

Higher than the king can

S[C]ee no evil, hear no evil
C[D]apture me and throw the key
S[C]ee no evil, hear no evil
C[D]apture me and throw the key away
Th[C]row the key away
Th[D]row the key away
