[Intro]
 
G       D       Em      Bm
 
   G
My shadow side, so amplified
      D
keeps coming back dissatisfied
Em                       Bm
Elementary son, but it's so
   G
My love affair with everywhere
    D
was innocent, why do you care
Em
Someone stop the car,
        Bm
Time to go
 
G    D                  Em      Bm
      You're the best I know
 
 
[Verse]
 
   G
My sunny side has up and died
    D
I'm betting there when we collide
    Em                         Bm
the universe will shift into a low
    G
The travesties that we have seen are
D
treating me like Benzedrine
Em                        Bm
Automatic laughter from a pro
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
(chords played at high position - next line)
Em        G             D         Em
My what a good day for a, walk outside
Em                 G                             D                 Em
I'd like to get to know you a little better baby, God knows that I really tried
Em        G             D         Em
My what a good day for a take out bride
Em                  G                     D
I'd like to say we did it for the better of
 
 
[Verse]
 
  G
I saw you there so unaware
      D
Those humming birds all in your hair
Em                      Bm
Elementary so, but it's so
    G
The disrepair of Norma Jean
     D
could not compare to your routine
Em                     Bm
Ballorama beauty going toe to toe
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Em        G             D        Em
My what a good day for a let it slide
Em                  G                     D
I'd like to say we did it for the better of
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E                        C          E
I thought about it and I brought it out
E                    C       E
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
E                       C     E
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
E
Mother, the father, the daughter
 
 
[Verse]
 
      G
Right on the verge of one more dose
    D
I'm travelling from coast to coast
   Em                              Bm
My theory isn't perfect but it's close
    G
I'm almost there, why should I care
   D
My heart is hurting when I share
Em                        Bm
Someone opened up, let it show
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
Em        G             D         Em
My what a good day for a, walk outside
Em                    G                     D
I'd like to think we did it for the better of
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E                        C          E
I thought about it and I brought it out
E                    C       E
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
E                        C    E
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
E
Mother, the father, the daughter
