[Chorus]
Fm C#
Hey, I heard it from the state
Bbm Eb
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
Fm C#
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
Bbm Eb
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
Fm C#
Hey, you try to compensate
Bbm Eb
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
Fm C#
You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated
Bbm Eb
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
[Verse 1]
Fm C#
Talking to ears that have been deaf
Bbm
For as long as I can remember
Fm C# Bbm
A self-medicated handicap, so I speak to myself
Fm C# Bbm
And I try so hard to get his stupid deaf ears to hear
Fm
That I've become illiterate, I've become dumb
C# Bbm
(Ya hear me? Ya hear me? Ya hear me?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm C#
When I come through, you were dark blue
Bbm Eb
And I saved you from your darker days
Fm C#
Born to take care of you
Bbm Eb
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
[Chorus]
Fm C#
Hey, I heard it from the state
Bbm Eb
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
Fm C#
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
Bbm Eb
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
Fm C#
Hey, you try to compensate
Bbm Eb
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
Fm C#
You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated
Bbm Eb
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
[Verse 2]
Fm C#
Shot down by a guy I never wanted to kiss
Bbm
Not gonna hear the singing of his ringing triumphing
Fm C#
And I'm chugging along in a train
Bbm
And I'm heading the wrong way, and I'm a train wreck
Fm C#
And my heart goes "beat, beat, beat"
Bbm
To the music of this sad, same song
Fm C#
It's quite depressing, there is no fixing to the problem
Bbm
When you're talking to an idiot
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm C#
When I come through, you were dark blue
Bbm Eb
And I saved you from your darker days
Fm C#
Born to take care of you
Bbm Eb
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
Fm C#
Baby, only maybe
Bbm Eb
Just a dreamer, but I soon found out
Fm C#
Heard the train tracks were behind me
Bbm
Tried to warn me, but both of my ears went out
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm C#
When I come through, you were dark blue
Bbm Eb
And I saved you from your darker days
Fm C#
Born to take care of you
Bbm Eb
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
[Chorus]
Fm C#
Hey, I heard it from the state
Bbm Eb
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
Fm C#
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
Bbm Eb
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
Fm C#
Hey, you try to compensate
Bbm Eb
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
Fm C#
You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated
Bbm Eb
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
