 G   Bm   C(listen for timing)  I find it easier to play the normal chords (barring the Bm)
They led us on...G  
They said it would be yours... Bm  
Tear down the borders, stop pCatrolling the shores, 
let us in... 
G Bm C
We wrote a winter song... 
Come on, come on, come on, Gcome on, come on... Bm  
Don't shelve the opera, C  
you've been working This long on it...
G Bm C
Twelve years on the Eastside, 
GanBmd still sCo house proud...
 G   Bm   Cx4
(Shoo-la-la-la)
(Continue above verse chords)
All the neighbourhood angels, 
are humming the psalms (hum along...) 
to themselves again... 
Oh, they seem to think that when you show up 
you'd look good in somebody's arms...
Oh, you should have been a clerk... 
You should have stayed a stranger... 
You should have just done the work... 
But it's too late now, school's out...
(Here it changes up a bit)
DWildcats - you were supposed to go wild... 
CButchers - you shouldn't be obsessed with a child... 
BmNow Diorama Pete thinks he just sunk the fleet...
AmMuch like him, you know I live to be cornered. So come on...
G Bm C
DHey, Easterner, open your mouth... 
CDon't speak in tones... 
I know there's beauty Bmin the bones of the dam that burst... 
   AmI know you look good in the shadow of the Diamond Monger's thirst, 
(pause)
but get out...
 G   Bm   C(outro)
To the west there is an ocean... 
There's a mountain on the right... 
Now will you walk away
