Em Am Em Am
Those that would judge would say you're aloof
Em Am Em
But you know the truth is a seed
Am D
You know what you need is a conflagration
Em Am
Cause when I see the blood
Em Am
And the bits of your broken tooth
Em Am Em
It gives me the proof that I need
Am
It's the proof that you bleed
D
It's a revelation
G D7
Yeah it's a revelation, it's a revelation
G C D
I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
G C D
Propped up in the hardware store
G C D
Propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
G C D
Of those legionnaires with two-by-four's
Em
As they're marching off to war
D
Yeah they're marching off to war
Em G
I didn't know what you were made of
Em G
The color of your blood, what you're afraid of
Em G
Are you made of calcium or are you carbon-based
Em G
And if you're made of calcium I'll have to take a taste
C G
Cause, listen, calcium is deadly and tender to the tooth
C G C
And it's one sure-fire way to know if you're MX-missile-proof, oh no
D
Or if you're just aloof
Em G
You were in the ground in late November
Em G
When the leaves and earth are damp
Em G
Did you, did you think they would remember
Em C
How you almost made state champ
G
Cause when you're running for the game against Alfonzo
C G
And you fell upon the ground and chipped a tooth
C G
Oh no, listen, it didn't really half surprise us
D
To learn that you aren't really MX-missile-proof
G D
Oh, I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
G C D
And you're propped up in the hardware store
G D
You were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
G C D
Of those legionnaires with two-by-four's
Em
As they're marching off to war
D7
Yeah they're marching off to war
G D G
Oh they're marching
