G# (4,6,6,5,4,4)
[Verse 1]
C#5 Bb5
I'm the son of rage and love, the Jesus of Suburbia
F#5 G#5
the Bible of "none of the above" on a steady diet of
C#5 Bb5 F#5
Soda pop and Ritalin, no one ever died for my sins in hell, as far as I can
tell
G#5
At least the ones I've gotten away with
F#5 G#5 F#5 G#5
And there's nothing wrong with me, this is how I'm supposed to be
F#5 G#5 (C#5)
In a land of make believe, that don't believe in me
[Instrumental]
(C#5) G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5
[Verse 2]
C#5 Bb5
Get my television fix, Sitting on my crucifix
F#5 G#5
The living room of my private womb, While the moms and brats are away
C#5 Bb5
To fall in love and fall in debt, To alcohol and cigarettes
F#5 G#5
And Mary Jane to keep me insane, doing someone else's cocaine
F#5 G#5 F#5 G#5
And there's nothing wrong with me, this is how I'm supposed to be
F#5 G#5 (C#5)
In a land of make believe, that don't believe in me
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C#5 C#5/C
At the center of the earth, in the parking lot
Bb5 G#5 F#5 G#5
Of the 7-11 were I was taught, the motto was just a lie
C#5 C#5/C
It says home is were your heart is but what a shame
Bb5 G#5 F#5 G#5
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same, it's beating out of time
[Chorus 1]
Bb5 G#5 C#5 F#5
City of the dead, at the end of another lost highway
Bb5 G#5 F#5
Sign misleading to nowhere
Bb5 G#5 C#5 F#5
City of the damned, lost children with dirty faces today
Bb5 G#5 F#5
No one really seems to care
[Verse 4]
C#5 C#5/C
I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall
Bb5 G#5 F#5 G#5
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall and so it seemed to confess
C#5 C#5/C
It didn't say much but it only confirmed
Bb5 G#5 F#5
that the center of the earth is the end of the world and I could really care
G#5
less
[Chorus 2]
Bb5 G#5 C#5 F#5
City of the dead, at the end of another lost highway
Bb5 G#5 F#5
Sign misleading to nowhere
Bb5 G#5 C#5 F#5
City of the damned, lost children with dirty faces today
Bb5 G#5 F#5
No one really seems to care
OI!

[Verse 5]
C#5 A5 G#5
Everyone is so full of shit
C#5 A5 G#5
Burn and raised by hipocrits
C#5 A5 G#5
Hearts recycled but never saved
C#5 A5 G#5
From the cradle to the grave
C#5 A5 G#5
We are the kids of war and peace
C#5 A5 G#5
From Anaheim to the Middle East
C#5 A5 G#5
We are the stories and disciples of
C#5 A5 G#5
The Jesus of Suburbia
[Verse 6]
F#5 G#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 G#5 C#5 G#5
Land of make believe and it don't believe in me
F#5 G#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 G#5
Land of make believe and I don't believe
F#5 G#5 C#5 F#5 G#5 C#5
And I don't care, I don't care
F#5 G#5 C#5 F#5 G#5 C#5 F#5 G#5 (C#5)
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
(C#5) G#5(Bass)
[Verse 7]
G#5 C5
Dearly beloved are you listening?
C#5 G#5 Eb5
I cant remember a word that you were saying
G#5 C5
Are we demented or are we disturbed?
C#5 G#5 Eb5
The space that's in between insane and insecure
[Instrumental]
G#5 C5 C#5 G#5 Eb5
[Verse 8]
G#5 C5
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
C#5 G#5 Eb5
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
G#5 C5
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
C#5 G#5 Eb5
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

[Verse 9]
G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5
To live and not to breathe is to die in tra - ge - dy
C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5
To run, to run a - way to find what you be - lieve
[Chorus 4]
C#5 G#5 C#5 G#5
And I
C#5 G#5 Eb5 G#5 Eb5 G#5 Eb5
Leave be - hind
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5 G#5 Eb5 G#5 Eb5 G#5 Eb5 G#5
This hur - ri - cane of fuck - ing lies
[Verse 10]
G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5
I lost my faith to this, this town that don't ex - ist
C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5 G#5 F#5 C#5
So I run, I run a - way, the light of ma - so - chist
[Chorus 5]
C#5 G#5 C#5 G#5
And I
C#5 G#5 Eb5 G#5 Eb5 G#5 Eb5
Leave be - hind

Running away from pain when you've been victimized
C# Eb
Tales from another broken
