[Chorus 2]
Am G
City of the dead
C F
At the end of another lost highway
Am G F
Signs 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
Am G
That 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
Signs 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

Everyone is so full of shit

Born and raised by hypocrites

We are the stories and disciples
C Ab G
Of the Jesus of Suburbia

[IV. Dearly Beloved]
[Verse 6]
G Bm
Dearly beloved are you listening?
C G D
I can’t remember a word that you were saying
G Bm
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
C G D
The space that's in between insane and insecure
G Bm C G D
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]
