When I was in grade six I used to open the door for a girl

G                            Gsus4       G/B         A                G

and she called me a wimp. Said there just is no need to be so fucking polite

Gsus4       G/B    A            G

I politely agreed with her, I think she was right

Am7                     G           Am7                                  G

just never entered my mind, That a 12 year old came down to choosing sides

G                  Gsus4                   G            Gsus4

You said, That I'd die if I had nothing to do, put a drink in my hand and I'll

G

talk to anything that moves

Gsus4        G/B         A                               G

I just refuse to give you what you think will make things right

Gsus4     G/B             A               G

Just to find hate when you've lost the will to fight

Am7                                    G

and would it really be in touch with the times

Am7                              G

to put somebody down for choosing sides

Csus2               Dsus2

And you said show us them teeth, give us them  braces

Csus2                               Dsus2                     D/C# D/C

Show me that dental work that puts fear in twelve year old faces

G              A          G/B       Gsus4       Gsus4  G/B   A               G

I can make you feel, only half worthwhile, just please don't ask me to smile

G                     Gsus4 G           Gsus4

And times when it just feels right, hold open the door for a girl

G                        Gsus4 G/B A                         G

or back down from a fight, there's just  no  need to be so fucking polite

Gsus4    G/B            A                    G

at least it helps us sleep easier at night

Am7                     G        Am7                               G

It just never enters my mind, it ever should come down to choosing sides

Csus2               Dsus2

And you said show us them teeth, give us them  braces

Csus2                               Dsus2                     D/C# D/C

Show me that dental work that puts fear in twelve year old faces

G              A     G/B            Gsus4

I can prove to you I do or don't get high..........

Gsus4  G/B         A            G

Just please don't ask me to smile  :)
