[Intro]
 
| A5          | D2          | Fmaj7     G | G  A        | x2
 
[Verse 1]
A5                        D2                       Fmaj7               G    A
You declared you would be three inches taller, You only became what we made
you.
A5                         D2                   Fmaj7               G    A
Thought you were chasing a destiny calling, You only earned what we gave you.
D                         G/D                   D7                   G/D
You fell and cried as our people were starving, now you know that we blame
you.
A5                       D2                     F                    G      A
You tried to walk on the trail we were carving, now you know that we framed you.
 
[Chorus]
D                  G/D                      Cadd9
I'm the guy in the sky flying high flashing eyes
                   G                        E
No surprise I told lies I'm the punk in the gutter
                 Esus4                 D2/B
I'm the new president but I grew and I bent
                         A                           E
Don't you know? don't it show? I'm the punk with the stutter.

[Verse 2]
A5                        D2
We tried to speak between lines of oration
          Fmaj7               G    A
You could only repeat what we told you.
A5                    D2
Your axe belongs to a dying nation,
Fmaj7                   G   A
They don't know that we own you.
D                                G/D
You're watching movies trying to find the feelers,
    D7               G/D
You only see what we show you.
A5                      D2
We're the slaves of the phony leaders
F                       G     A
Breathe the air we have blown you.
 
[Chorus]
D                  G/D                      Cadd9
I'm the guy in the sky flying high flashing eyes
                   G                        E
No surprise I told lies I'm the punk in the gutter
                 Esus4                 D2/B
I'm the new president but I grew and I bent
                         A                           E
Don't you know? don't it show? I'm the punk with the stutter.

[Bridge]
D                           G/C                                G/B
I have to be careful not to preach, I can't pretend that I can teach,
                               A
And yet I've lived your future out by pounding stages like a clown.
D                             G/C                            G/B
And on the dance floor broken glass, the bloody faces slowly pass,
                            A
The numbered seats in empty rows, it all belongs to me, you know.

[Verse 1]

You declared you would be three inches taller, You only became what we made
you.
A5                         D2                   Fmaj7               G    A
Thought you were chasing a destiny calling, You only earned what we gave you.
D                         G/D                   D7                   G/D
You fell and cried as our people were starving, now you know that we blame
you.
A5                       D2                     F                    G      A
You tried to walk on the trail we were carving, now you know that we framed you.

                         A                           E
Don't you know? don't it show? I'm the punk with the stutter.
