Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A really great song, alot of lyrics, so I will not put chords on top of the lyrics, but
the lyrics up according to chord progression. The Am chord in the verses go twice as
as the G and Em chords; same with the Dm chord, Am and G chords in the chorus.
Please rate and any suggestions are welcomed.

Verse 1 (Am, Am, G, Em)
--------
Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun
With a lighter and some hairspray
Smoking in the girls' room
Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's
By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody
Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some
Now we look back and see that she didn't know how
We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste
Chorus
------
Dm Dm Am G
As we explode
Dm Dm Am G
As we explode
Verse 2 (Am, Am, G, Em)
-------
Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart
Rolling around in them to see if you would
Get prickled slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade
We couldn't get enough
Then count the stars and the ten million woes
Just you and the universe judging each other
We never knew that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste
Chorus
------
Dm Dm Am G
As we explode
Dm Dm Am G
As we explode
Dm Dm Am G
As we explode
Dm Dm Am G
As we let go
Verse 3 (Am, Am, G, Em)
-------
It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong
Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar
More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell
At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break
Such a good, good story to tell
You bully, you break, you bully, you break
You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake
Verse 4 (F, F, G Em)
-------
You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it and you're in it and it's
spinning
And it's wild
We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste
Chorus
------
Dm Dm Am G
As we explode
Dm Dm Am G
As we explode
Dm Dm Am G
As we explode
Dm Dm Am G
As we let go
Dm
We're counting the stars
Dm
We're counting the stars
Am G
We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far
Dm Dm
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
Am G
We're not very far, we're not very far
Dm Dm
And it's you and me in the open air
Am G
It's truth or dare, we don't care
Dm Dm
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars,
Am
we're counting the stars,
G Dm
we're counting the stars
