Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

First stanza (Plucking):

Burn the books

They’ve got too many names

And psychoses

All this incriminating evidence

Would surely haunt me

If someone broke into my house

(start strumming the guitar)

– - –

Suits in the living room

Do you realize guys

I was born in 1974

We’ve got someone here

To explain your publishing

We know how much you love to be

In front of audiences

Chorus

– - –

Hopeful you are

Schoolbound you are

Naïve you are

Driven you are

Take a trip to New York

With your guardian

And your fake identification

When they said

“is there something anything

you’d like to know young lady?

You said “yes I’d like to know

what kind of people

I’ll be dealing with”

Precocious you are

Headstrong you are

Terrified you are

Ahead of your time you are

Don’t mind our staring but

We’re surprised

You’re not in a far-gone asylum

We’re surprised

You didn’t crack up

Lord knows what we would’ve

We would’ve liked

To have been there

But you keep pushing us away

Resilient you are

Big time you are

Ruthless you are

Precious you are

until fade
