[Intro]Em G Am CEm G Am C [Verse 1]Em G Crying in your car while I'm choking on a cigaretteAm C My grievance is with God, I'll take it up with you insteadEm G Am C I don't wanna talk, just wanna keep my loud voice downEm G Heard they found him down by the place we used to go to playAm C Our youth there on the ground where he finally made the great escapeEm G Am C I don't wanna talk, just wanna keep my loud voice down [Chorus]C Em G Am I don't want your pity, I just want some explanationC Em G Am If you're feeling sorry some four years and later, save itC Em G Am I gave you all of my innocence, a bowl full of cherriesC Em G Am I heard the kids are not alrightC Em G Am I heard the kids are not alright [Interlude]Em G Am C [Verse 2]Em G Shame about your mom and the voice that lives inside her headAm C You say you're better off, but you're yelling and you're drunk againEm G Am C I don't wanna talk, just wanna keep my loud voice downEm G Am I remember five years old I was just hiding out under my bedC Em It is better to be small than anythingG Am You always told me I'd be the first to get knocked upC And I was, how 'bout that for luck? [Chorus]C Em G Am I don't want your pity, I just want some explanationC Em G Am If you're feeling sorry some four years and later, save itC Em G Am I gave you all of my innocence, a bowl full of cherriesC Em G Am I heard the kids are not alrightC Em G Am I heard the kids are not alright
