[Intro]

C   Em 
F   G  
C   Em 
F   G  
 
 
[Verse]

   C       Em      F  G   C  Em  F  G
I went to see the new   PTA
       C        Em        
And I wept as I watched 
      F       G        C        Em F G
them kiss outside the arcade
         C       Em     F      
And I'm tired of being sick of 
        G     C   Em F G
everything I see  
          C      Em       F   
When you have no love to give 
        G          C   Em F G
and no love to receive    
        Em           
There's nothing   
     F           G  (C)
as brave as surrendering
 
 
[Instrumental]

C   C   F 
G   G   G  
 
 
[Chorus]

          G           C     
And you learn how to live as 
           E          Am
if you're someone to love
     G                 C    
You run through the streets 
           E        Am
like your best is enough
     G         C        
The licorice queens and 
       E       Am
their pinball machines  
       F           G       
Will bring you on home
                  C  Em  F  G  (C)
Like a suicide sque--ee--e--e---eze
 
 
[Instrumental]

C   Em 
F   G  
 
 
[Verse]

      C     Em        F  
As a kid I wanted to be 
    G     C  Em F G
a movie star
     C           Em              
Oh, how it must feel 
           F 
when the whole town knows 
  G     C  Em F G
who you are
         C        Em     F     
I can't say I was ever really 
    G          C   Em F G
afraid of the dark
       C         Em       F    
But I gambled it all for love,       
         G         C  Em F G
and boy, I got to part 
         Em                 F        
Now I'm scared to death of living with 
      G          (C)
this hole in my heart
 
 
[Instrumental]

C   C   F 
G   G   G  
 
 
[Chorus]

          G           C      
And you learn how to live as 
           E          Am
if you're someone to love
     G                 C        
You run through the streets like
       E       Am
 your best is enough
     G         C         
The licorice queens and 
       E       Am
their pinball machines
       F           G       
Will bring you on home
                  C  Em  F  G  (C)
Like a suicide sque--ee--e--e---eze

[Interlude]

       C        Em         F   
Na na-na, na na-na, na na-na,

na na-na, na na-na

[Bridge]

             F                                
    And the funniest things can remind 
                      C 
you to keep hanging on
          F                              
    As I watch the infinite madness
             C 
 run up my arm
Dm                         G             
    When you're just seventeen, 
              C     G        F
you've got so much left to see
Am             G           (C)
    But all I wanted   was more
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

          G           C     
And you learn how to live as 
          Em         Am
if you're someone to love
     G                 C        
You run through the streets like 
     Em       Am
your best is enough
     G         C       
The licorice queens and   
       Em       Am
their pinball machines
       F           G       
Will bring you on home
                  C  Em  F  G  (C)
Like a suicide sque--ee--e--e---eze
