[Intro]
EM A
EM A
[Verse]
EM A
Blue sky us holding down
EM
There's no why
A EM A
Only the sound of happy TV land
B
Cue the canned applause
[Verse]
EM A EM
Sidewalk fall through the cracks to China
A
Never get back
EM A B
I'm nothing in these blues and laceless Velcro shoes
[Chorus]
A E
There used to be a reason why
A
We wrote the words across the sky
F#m B
You and I will never die without a fight
EM A
My suburban muse
EM A
La la la la
[Verse]
EM A
Green grass towering high
EM A
This white house, in it we'll die
EM A B
A thousand tiny lies take the place of you
EM A
I've seen it too
EM A
In all the things you do
EM A
It lives inside of you
B
A parasite or two
[Chorus]
A E
There used to be a reason why
A
We wrote the words across the sky
F#m B
You and I will never die without a fight
EM A
My suburban muse
[Bridge]
G#m A D#5 E
I'm the king of ordinary things
G#m A B
They're killing me from inside out
EM A
I'll give it away
EM A
La la la la
[Chorus]
A E
There used to be a reason why
A
We wrote the words across the sky
F#m B
You and I will never die without a fight
A
My suburban muse
E
Between the cars on dusty streets
A
The cul de sac is where we meet
F#m B
I crunch the leaves beneath my feet and curse this town
EM A
My suburban muse
EM A
La la la la
EM
