everybody cares everybody understands

yes everybody cares about you
    F        C     B7
yeah whether or not you want them to
     Em              Em/C# Em/C    G G/F#
it's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
    F      C    B7        F    C     B7
to a pure synthetic sympathy that infuriates you totally

G F C Em

B7
so here i lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun

raining it's guiding light upon everyone
    Em              Em/C# Em/C       G G/F#
for a moment's rest you can lean against the bannister
    F        C    B7               F
C    B7
after running upstairs again and again from wherever they came to fix you in
    Em          Em/C# Em/C     G G/F#
but always fear city's finest follow right behind
        F    C   B7
you got a pretty vision in your head
  F    C   B7
a pencil full of poison lead
     F      C    B7    B7/A B7/G B7/F#
and a sickened smile illegal in every town
   G             F     C          Em    B7
so here i lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun

G             F    C      Em    B7
raining it's guiding light upon everyone
C                            G
you say you mean well you don't know what you mean
Cm                    D
fucking ought to stay the hell away from things you know nothing about
so here i lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun
G             F   C       Em    B7
raining it's guiding light upon everyone
