A
There are four whole people in this house
A A/G# F#m
And I'm the last one awake again
A
And tomorrow we'll be biting nails
A A/G# E
And biting tongues to higher stakes again
D
And I'm thinking if I just don't sleep
A
The morning won't sneak up on me
D E
As just another yesterday again
CHORUS
E D E
But I was brilliant for just one day
A A/G# F#m
In nineteen eighty-eight
D
I didn't have to talk, I didn't have to think
E
They flushed my sins right down a sink
A A/G# F#m
Ten fingers and ten toes, and you're okay
E
Yeah, I think that's what they say
A
Well, how about today?
INTRO RIFF
VERSE 2
A
I think the world has got my number
A A/G# F#m
Oh my God, there's digits in my eyes
A
I think that I've been dancing 'round
A A/G# F#m
The brightest rooms in a cellophane disguise
D
Everybody still remembers
A
Things that I said last September
D E
Oh, but worst of all, so do I
CHORUS
D E
But I was a stranger for just one day
A A/G# F#m
Born with the cleanest slate
D
My mother loved me before she knew me
E
Gave me a name that didn't suit me
A A/G# F#m
But hey, that's okay
E
I've kept it anyway
Esus4 E A
What if I threw it away?
INTRO RIFF
VERSE 3
A
And to me God's just a metaphor
A A/G# F#m
He's a metaphor for everything that's strange
A
I take his name in vain a lot
A A/G# E
But I'm not sure just what it means these days
D
Sometimes I wish that I were still religious
A
Along with a lot of other wishes
D E
But I don't think that God would know my name
CHORUS
D E
But I was forgiven in bygone days
A A/G# F#m
When I still knew how to pray
D
And all the words were etched in gold
E
On the little Bible that I stole
A A/G# F#m
From my teacher in second grade
E
The one I didn't mean to take
Esus4 E A
Oh, what would Jesus say?

CHORUS/OUTRO
E D E
And things were perfect for a time
A A/G# F#m
In nineteen ninety-nine
D
I was eleven years old, and we drove south
E
Yeah, down to my grandfather's house
A A/G# F#m
And everything was fine
E
It was right before he died
Esus4 E A
We were all so goddamn fine
A \ play first half of
F#m / the intro here

We were all so goddamn fine
