[Verse 1]
C            E          F
- Countless suicide attempts
         D   G        C
All his mo-oney was spent
         E           F
Chewing gum and cigarettes
              D         G       C
To keep his knees from shaking
           E                 F
He never thought before he spoke
          D      G        C
Took back everything he meant
             E             F
And from an early age he learned
      D    G      C
To inhale and forget


[Bridge]
             E                F
And who are you? And who are we?
       D         G   C
Photographs and diaries
            E            F
Spend your life working hard
            D    G    C
Spend your life studying
              E                 F
And then you die. And then you die
             D    G         C
And then we read all your books
              E                 F
And then you die. And then you die
             D    G         C
And then we criticize your work

[Chorus]
E
- You figured it out
                        F     Am  G  E
You figured it out so good
E
- I know you want it
               F         Am  G  E
They said you would
E
- You're getting to close
                  F       Am  G  E
And it's all too much
E                       F      F#
- Afraid of the human touch   (F# mute strumm)


[Verse 2]
C           E              F      D  G  C
- Give the kids all their candy   ow ow ow
          E          F      D  G  C
Whatever makes them happy
         E                     F    D  G  C
Give me seeds and I'll plant trees
       E            F
Learn from your mistakes
                  D       G   C
My parents never learned from me


[Bridge]
     E                F
And BA Sphemy on the WALL
        D    G        C
Of the bathroom you wrote:
        E              F
God is gay and no one cares,
     D       G      C
Even if you left a note
         E               F
Your suicide will go unheard
        D       G      C
Maybe 'cos you never spoke
            E      F
You were a wallflower
            D  G  C
You were my only hope
            E               F
Your songs never left your room
     D      G              C
You never showed your poetry
           E              F
Don't you die, don't you die
           D       G     C
Don't you dare to die on me


[Interlude]
| E | F | D G | E |


[Chorus]
E
- You figured it out you
                       F     D  G  E
You figured me out so good
E
- I know you want it,
                F       D  G  E
They said you would
E
- We're getting too close,
                  F      D  G  E
And it's all too much
E                       F      F#
- Afraid of the human touch   (F# mute strumm)
