That summer that they took us in 

Like every other American 
Em
For getting drunk in back of the Lion's Club 
G                                        D
Waiting for the sh*tty bands to finish up 
                 Em              D
Then some kids played hacky sack 
                           C
While the others just got high

Verse 2:
G
It's not hard to fall for a waitress 

When you both smoke 

Smoke the same cigarettes

You'll get seated as diners lovers
G 
You'll get the check that Scranton's for the better 
D                                 Em        
You'll carve your names into the Parpat Cliffs 
           D                  C
Just read them when you get old enough to know
 
That happiness is just a moment

So I'm marching up to your gates today 
   Em               C
To throw my lonely soul away

'Cause I don't need it 
C         G       Em   C
You can take it back

And they will make examples out of us

Like when they caught you in the CVS parking lot 
       C
But I fed the liars, I fed the liars, I fed the liars
G 
Everything I got 
Em
Everything I got
      C
in my cabinet brain 
     G
Of canned thoughts 
     G
Everything I've got 
          Em
It was everything I've got 
         C
In my cabinet brain, in my cabinet brain

To throw my lonely soul away

'Cause I don't need it 
C         G       Em   C
You can take it back

To throw my lonely soul away
