 So I took  my guitar
 And I threw  down some chords
 And some words  I could sing  without shame
 And I soon  had a song
 I played  it around
 For some friends  but they all  said the same
 They said music's  for fools
 You should go  back to school
 The future  is prisms  and math
 So I did  what they said
 Now my children  are fed
 'Cause they pay  me to do  what I'm asked
 (For this next set get more intense and strum harder as in the song)
 I forgot  all my songs
 The words  now are wrong
 And I burned  my guitar  in a rage
 (get softer)
 But the fire  came to rest
 In your white  velvet breast
 So somehow  I just know  that it's safe.

[A] [E]

So I t[A]ook my gui[E]tar
And I t[F#m]hrew down some ch[C#m]ords
And some wo[D]rds I could s[A]ing without s[E]hame

And I s[A]oon had a s[E]ong
I p[F#m]layed it aro[C#m]und
For some fr[D]iends but they a[A]ll said the [E]same

They said m[A]usic's for f[E]ools
You should  [F#m]go   back to sc[C#m]hool
The fu[D]ture is pr[A]isms and [E]math

So I d[A]id what they s[E]aid
Now my ch[F#m]ildren are f[C#m]ed
'Cause they p[D]ay me to [A]do what I'm a[E]sked

(For this next set get more intense and strum harder as in the song)
I forg[A]ot all my s[E]ongs
The w[F#m]ords now are w[C#m]rong
And I bu[D]rned my gui[A]tar in a r[E]age

(get softer)
But the f[A]ire came to r[E]est
In your w[F#m]hite velvet br[C#m]east
So some[D]how I just k[A]now that it's s[A]afe.

[End]
