Em A7
those that will judge will say you're aloof
Em A
but you know the truth is a seed you know what you need
B
is a conflagration
Em A
cause when I see your blood and the bits of your broken tooth
Em A
it gives me the proof that I need it's the proof that you bleed
D G
and it's a revelation / yeah it's a revelation / it's a
B
revelation

E B
I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
E B
propped up in the hardware store
E B
propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
E B
of those legionnaires with two by fours
C#m
As they're marching off to war
F# B G#
Yeah they're marching off to war
C#m G#
I didn't know what you were made of
C#m G#
color of your blood what you're afraid of
Amaj7 E
are you made of calcium or are you carbon based
E G#7 F#m A
cause if you're made of calcium I'll have to take a taste
A E
'Cause listen, calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth
F#m7 E
but it's one sure-fire way to know if you're mx-missile proof
F#7 C#m B G#7

C#m G#
and you were in the ground in late November
C#m G#
when the leaves and earth were damp
A E
did you think they would remember
G# A
how you almost made state champ
A E
and when you're running for the game against Alfonsus
A E
and you fell up on the ground and chipped your tooth
F#7
listen, that might really have surprised us
B7
to learn that maybe you weren't really mx-missiles proof
E B
whoa, I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
E B
and you're propped up in the hardware store
E B
you were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
E B
of those legionnaires with two by fours
A
as they're marching off to war
E A
yeah they're marching off to war
B E E
Ohh they're marchinnnnnggg
