Am D/F#
The lights were low enough, you guessed
G C
You swapped your conscience with your father's medication
Am D/F#
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
G C
And on the way, you wrote out a self-made declaration
Am D/F#
And when you got to Pleasant Hill
G C
You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
Am D/F#
And made a pact with you and god
G C
If you don't move, I swear to you I'm gonna make ya

Am D
When the first officer arrived
G C
It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
Am D
When you finally recognized
G C
You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you
Am D
Can you hear me, what's your name?
G C
You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage
Am D
As the high school's letting out
G C
All the kids are sayin' the same thing that they used to
[Chorus 2]

It's an alien

Am D
The lights are low enough you guessed
G C
Hospital food, there's never enough medication
Am D
The doctor asked about your ears
G C
You said your mom said you were made from a revelation
Am D
The revelation never scares
G C
Your fear came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors
Am D
Were you just finally letting go?
G C
Did you mean to take out all those people with you?
[Chorus 3]
C Em
Didn't mean to
G C
Didn't mean to
C Em
Didn't mean to
G C
Didn't mean to
C Em
Oh I didn't mean ------------------ to

Time has come to take you by the hand and leave you here alone
