The first version for chords of Charlie Brown seems more accurate according to what
Chris plays in the live versions, but I made this one to be a little easier maybe and
with a
capo instead of a different tuning. Credit to RSSt, I didn't have to type all the lyrics
I just copied them and changed the chords :)
 
 
Capo 3rd fret
 
Intro: Em C G
 
Em C Am
 
 
Em C G
I stole a key
       Em              C
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet
                         Am
I took a car downtown and took what they offered me
Em C G
To set me free
 
          Em              C
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene
                            Am
I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me
 
Em C G
My scarecrow dreams
          Em              C
When they smashed my heart into smithereens
                           Am
I'll be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete
Em C G
Be a cartoon heart
 
C
Light a fire, from a spark
D                    C
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
 
            C
We'll run wild
                        Em
We'll be glowing in the dark
 
C G
 
Em C Am
 
        D
All the boys, all the girls
       C             G
All the madness in the world
        D
All the boys, all the girls
       C           G
All the madness that occurs
        D
All the highs, all the lows
                      C
As the room is spinning, oh
 
Sustain C
We'll run wild oh
                           Em
We'll start glowing in the dark
 
C G
 
Em C Am
 
C
It was all an innocent riot
                        G
We'll be glowing in the dark

I like to play this without capo in whole step down tuning. Then you can transpose these chords 5 half steps up and play like the song was in A minor.
