Jesus Of Suburbia

Db
I'm the son of rage and love
Bbm
The Jesus of suburbia				
F#
From the Bible of none of the above
G#
On a steady diet of 
 
Db
Soda pop and Ritalin
Bbm
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
 
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

Db
Get my television fix
Bbm 
Sitting on my crucifix
F#				
The living room or my private womb
G#
While the moms and brads are away
 
Db
To fall in love and fall in debt
Bbm
To alcohol and cigarettes 			
F#
And Mary Jane to keep me insane
G#
And doing someone else's cocaine
 
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

Db
At the center of the earth
Db/Db
In the parking lot				
Bbm               G#
Of the 7-11 were I was taught
F#                    G#
The motto was just a lie
 
Db
It says home is were your heart is
Db/Db
But what a shame
Bbm				G#
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same
F#                    G#
We're beating out of time
 
Bbm      G#
City of the dead
Db             F#
At the end of another lost highway
Bbm      G#          F#
Sign misleading to nowhere			
Bbm      G#
City of the damned
Db                  F#
Lost children with dirty faces today
Bbm     G#               F#
No one really seems to care
 
Db
I read the graffiti
Db/Db
In the bathroom stall				
Bbm                            G#
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
F#                   G#
And so it seemed to confess
 
Db
It didn't say much
Db/Db
But it only confirmed that			
Bbm                             G#
The center of the earth is the end of the world
F#                       G#
And I could really care less
 
Bbm      G#
City of the dead
Db             F#
At the end of another lost highway
Bbm      G#          F#
Sign misleading to nowhere			
Bbm      G#
City of the damned
Db                  F#
Lost children with dirty faces today
Bbm     G#               F#
No one really seems to care

I don't care if you don't
G#            Db
I don't care if you don't
F#            Db            G#
I don't care if you don't care   - x4 -

Dearly beloved are you listening?
Db                       G#             D#
I can’t remember a word that you were saying
G#                      Cm
Are we demented or are we disturbed?
Db                           G#          D#
The space that's in between insane and insecure
 
G#                          Cm
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Db                   G#          D#
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
G#                      Cm
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
Db                              G#              D#
For lack of a better word, and that's my beat excuse
