[Intro]
Em G C Asus2
[Verse 1]
Em G
In a trailerpark in Seattle
C Asus2
They're waving candles in the air
Em G
Misguided youth do a battle
C Asus2
On what is and is not fair
Em G
And through all this chaos
C Asus2
A girl cries out in vain
[Chorus]
Em
That Jesus lived six years longer than Kurt Cobain
Em
Jesus' hair was longer than Kurt Cobain's
[Verse 2]
Em G
In a deadend street in Dublin
C Asus2
They're playin' Nevermind to death
Em G
They're thinkin' all the things
C Asus2
They did or did not say
Em G
And through all the chaos
C Asus2
This guy tries to explain
[Chorus]
Em
How Jesus' hair was longer than Kurt Cobain's
Em
Jesus lived six years longer than Kurt Cobain
[Bridge]
Em G
I am the egg man, you are the wall!
C Asus2
I am the ringo, you are the pope!
Em G
I am the old tray, you are the blood!
C Asus2
I am the president, you are the mad!
Em G
I am the flying, you are the super
C Asus2
See what super glue can do!
Em G
Super glue, super glue
C A7
Super super super glue
Em G
Super glue, super glue
C A7
Super super super glue
[Instrumental]
Em G C Asus2 (x4)
[Bridge]
Em G
And he can take you higher
C A5
Through the flames and through the fire
Em G
And he can take you higher
C A5
And higher, and higher
Em G
And Jesus' hair was longer
C A5
And Jesus' arms were stronger
Em G
And Jesus' thoughts were truer
C A5
And Jesus' eyes were bluer
Em G
Super glue, super glue
C A7
Super super super glue
Em G
Super glue, super glue
C A7
Super super super glue
[Verse 3]
Em G
Way over in the city of London
C Asus2
They play Nevermind to death
Em G
They're thinkin all the things
C Asus2
They did or did not say
Em G
And through all this chaos
C Asus2
This girl tries to explain
[Chorus]
Em
That Jesus lived six years longer than Kurt Cobain
Em
Jesus' hair was longer than Kurt Cobain's!
[Outro]
