[I.

Jesus of Suburbia]

[Verse 1]

C
I'm the son of rage and love
Am
The Jesus of Suburbia
F
From the Bible of none of the above
G
On a steady diet of

C
Soda pop and Ritalin
Am
No one ever died for my
F
Sins in hell, as far as I can tell
G
At least the ones I've gotten away with

[Chorus 1]

F G
And there's nothing wrong with me
F G
This is how I'm supposed to be
F G
In a land of make believe

That don't believe in me

[Instrumental]

C G F (x2)

[Verse 2]

C
Get my television fix
Am
Sitting on my crucifix
F
The living room or my private womb
G
While the moms and brads are away

C
To fall in love and fall in debt
Am
To alcohol and cigarettes
F
And Mary Jane to keep me insane
G
And doing someone else's cocaine

[Chorus 1]

F G
And there's nothing wrong with me
F G
This is how I'm supposed to be

In a land of make believe

That don't believe in me

[II. City of the Damned]

[Verse 3]

C
At the center of the earth
C/B
In the parking lot
Am G
Of the 7 11 were I was taught
F G
The motto was just a lie

C
It says home is were your heart is
C/B
But what a shame
Am G
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same
F G
We're beating out of time

[Chorus 2]

Am G
City of the dead
C F
At the end of another lost highway
Am G F
Sign misleading to nowhere
Am G
City of the damned
C F
Lost children with dirty faces today
Am G F
No one really seems to care

[Verse 4]

C
I read the graffiti
C/B
In the bathroom stall
Am G
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
F G
And so it seemed to confess

C
It didn't say much
C/B
But it only confirmed that
Am G
The center of the earth is the end of the world
F G
And I could really care less

[Chorus 2]

Am G
City of the dead
C F
At the end of another lost highway
Am G F
Sign misleading to nowhere

City of the damned
C F
Lost children with dirty faces today

No one really seems to care

[Verse 5]

C G# G
Everyone is so full of shit
C G# G
Born and raised by hypocrites

We are the kids of war and peace

Of the Jesus of Suburbia
[Pre-Chorus 3]

[IV. Dearly Beloved]

[Verse 6]

G Bm
Dearly beloved are you listening?
C G D
I cant remember a word that you were saying
G Bm
Are we demented or are we disturbed?
C G D
The space that's in between insane and insecure

G Bm
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
C G D
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
G Bm
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
C G D
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse
[Instrumental]

Only two more days, until your birthday

Yesterday was mine
You'll be turning five
I know what it's like, growing up without your father in your life

Why I'm not around

For you to come
