[Verse 1]
Em Bm
He didn't give you that nickname
C D
But you smile when he calls you the Enola Gay
Am C
Turns the lights down low for your migraines
G D
And fetches what you've strewn
Em Bm
All around the room up and down the hall
C D
Asking for your Sodium Pentathol
Am C
So you can read aloud from your big tell-all
G D
Anecdotes in platitudes
[Chorus 1]
C D
This world's mean getting meaner too
G C
So why'd you have to make it all about you
C D Em
There's no harm in stepping to the side
C D
Light your hurricane lamp when the sky grows dark
G C
The wind's pissed off and the sun's at large
C D Em
What you've gotta do, it's just a matter of pride
D C G
Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind

[Verse 2]
Em Bm
Working all day in the control room
C D
Mashing Charles Manson songs up with Showtunes
Am C
The feelings come quick but they leave as soon
G D
Like music from a passing car
Em Bm
It's crowded in the club where you meet your friends
C D
Try to save some room for the elephant
Am C
Every day's a chore and you're not done yet
G D
You didn't think it'd be this hard
[Chorus]
C D
The root's begun, we're a nervous crew
G C
So why're you trying to make it all about you
C D Em
It's not so bad, it's just a flash of light
C D
Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark
G C
The rain's upset, it just falls apart
C D Em
You will get your wish, it's just a matter of time
D C G
Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind
D C
Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight
