Cwe're in a Carl's GJr.
it's AmThanksgiving and I Fknow
that you'll be Cwrapped up in somGebody
watching fAmuzzy tv shFows
and in the Cscreen sometimes you Gcatch yourself

and so we hCang ourselves from Gkitchen ceilings
Amin our dreams of hFome
it's like my Cmemories all forGgot themselves
in clAmassrooms passing Fnotes
with stupid Cgirls and stupid Gguys
and stupid sAmummers wrecked with Fhopes
I heard you rCaped a girl in some fGrat house
I hate you mAmore than you can know

[Verse 1]

C G

we're in a Carl's Jr.

Am F

it's Thanksgiving and I know

C G

that you'll be wrapped up in somebody

Am F

watching fuzzy tv shows

C G

and in the screen sometimes you catch yourself

Am F

you cry when you're alone

C G

and the fluorescent lights hang over me

Am F

like flat electric snow

[Chorus]

C G

and so we hang ourselves from kitchen ceilings

Am F

in our dreams of home

C G

it's like my memories all forgot themselves

Am F

in classrooms passing notes

C G

with stupid girls and stupid guys

Am F

and stupid summers wrecked with hopes

C G

I heard you raped a girl in some frat house

I hate you more than you can know

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

C G Am F

the pills dissolve like sugar cubes at the bottom of the sink

C G

and I forgot to take them yesterday

Am F

today I can hardly think

C G

and so we're shrugging off the emptiness

Am F

and wearing dirty clothes

and there's no sex or drugs

just rock 'n' roll

Am F

and playing empty shows

[Chorus]

C G

and so we hang ourselves from kitchen ceilings

Am F

in our dreams of home

C G

it's like my memories all forgot themselves

Am F

in classrooms passing notes

C G

with stupid girls and stupid guys

Am F

and stupid summers wrecked with hopes

C G

I heard you raped a girl in some frat house

I hate you more than you can know
