Am
Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun
G
With a lighter and some hairspray
Smoking in the girls' room
Am
Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's
G
By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody
Am
Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some
G
Now we look back and see that she didn't know how
Am
We never thought that we'd get caught up
G
Stuck in the teenage waste
DmAmG
As we explode
DmAmG
As we explode
AmG
Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart
Am
Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled
G
Slip the acid on your tongue roof top mall parkade
We couldn't get enough
Am
Then count the stars and the ten million woes
G
Just you and the universe judging each other
Am
We never knew that we'd get caught up
G
Stuck in the teenage waste
DmAmG
As we explode
DmAmG
As we explode
DmAmG
As we explode
DmAmG
As we let go
Am
It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong
G
Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar
More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell
Am
At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break
Such a good, good story to tell
G
You bully, you break, you bully, you break
You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake
AmG
You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it and you're in it and it's spinning
And it's wild
Am
We never thought that we'd get caught up
G
Stuck in the teenage waste
DmAmG
As we explode
DmAmG
As we explode
DmAmG
As we explode
DmAmG
As we let go
Dm
We're counting the stars
We're counting the stars
AmG
We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far
Dm
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
AmG
We're not very far, we're not very far
Dm
And it's you and me in the open air
AmG
It's truth or dare, we don't care
Dm
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars,
AmGDm
we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
