C
Virginia's almost sleeping
    G
The night is getting older
        Dm
There's static on the tv
      Dm7             C
She's lying on the sofa
    G               Dm
The cats crawl over her
C
Jenny's in the garage
      G
She's got the car in neutral
    Dm
She rolls it out so quietly
     Dm7            C
It's Saturday as usual
   G       Dm
It always is
    C
And me I'm in my bedroom
G
Drawing in my notebook
         Dm
Cause my hand thinks I'm an artist
       Dm7                 C
But my heart knows I'm a poet
          G           Dm7
It's just words, they mean...
             C                Am7/B
So little to me, so little to me
             Dm               G
So little to me, so little to me
             C                Am7/B
So little to me, so little to me
             Dm               
So little to me
        G
I can't seem to deal with something more

When everyone will fall back
C
Daddy's in the backyard
    G
his hands are getting dirty
    Dm
And mom is in the kitchen
        Dm7                    C
And her cake says that I'm thirteen
G       Dm
Another year
   C
My brother went to college
     G
To become a doctor
    Dm
And if he studies hard enough
      Dm7                C 
he'll end up just like father
    G         Dm
Who hates his life
    C
And me, I'm in the bathroom
G
crying out my eyelids
           Dm
Cause it's hard to be a man
            Dm7                       C
when you're scared just like a little kid
    G         Dm
The world's become...
             C                  Am7/B
A little too mean, a little too mean
             Dm                 G
A little too mean, a little too mean
             C                  Am7/B
A little too mean, a little too mean
             Dm
A little too mean,
            G
And I can't see the point of patient love
                                C
When everyone just wants to get fucked
