G              Em           Am                 D 
I come from scientists and atheists and white men who kill God 
              G          Em           Am           D 
They make technology high quality, complex, physiological 
  G             Em               Am             D 
Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good 
               Am               D            G 
They taught me everything, just like a daddy should 


             G            Em              Am            D 
And you were beautiful and vulnerable and power and success 
             G           Em                       Am                   
God damn, I fell for you, your flamethrowers, your tunnels, and 
      D 
 Your tech 
          Am             D            B7                   Em 
I studied code because I wanted to do something great like you 
             Am         D              G 
And the real tragеdy is half of it was true 

 
   Em                     Am           D             G                   
But we've been fuckin' mеan, we're elitist, we're as flawed as any 
Em 
Church 
         Am                  D           G                  Em 
And this faux-rad West coast dogma has a higher fuckin' net worth 
          Am             D 
I bit the apple 'cause I trusted you 
   B7                 Em 
It tastes like Thomas Malthus 
        Am         D            G    Em 
Your proposal is immodest and insane 
           Am              D                 G    Em 
And I hope someday Selmers rides her fuckin' train 

 
  Am           D            G               Em 
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true 
  Am        D          G           Em 
I wanted to be you and do what you do 
  Am            D             B7             Em 
I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true 
          Am     D       G    Em 
I feel so stupid, and so used 
Am  D       G     
  I feel so used 

 
            G              Em           Am                         
I was your baby, your first born, the hot girl in your compsci 
D 
Class 
       G                    Em                  Am                
I was darwin's prep school dream bred, born, and raised to kick 
     D 
Your ass 
            G              Em           Am                 D 
I fell for circuit boards, rocket ships, pictures of the stars 
             Am           D               G 
If you could only be what you pretend you are 

 
             G              Em           Am                 D 
When I said take me to the moon I never meant take me alone 
             G              Em                   Am            
I thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could 
D 
Go 
            Am            D                     B7                 
But I don't wanna see the stars if they're just one more piece of 
Em 
Land 
          Am           D             G 
For us to colonize for us to turn to sand 

 
                        Am              D                G           
'Cause we're so fuckin' mean, we're so elitist, we're as fucked as 
Em 
Any church 
         Am                  D           G                  Em 
And this bullshit West coast dogma has a higher fuckin' net worth 
          Am             D              B7            Em 
I bit the apple 'cause I loved you, and why would you lie? 
           Am                   D                G 
And then I realized that you're just as naïve as I am 
              Am             D                G 
Oh, you're so traumatized it makes me want to cry 

You dumb bitch 

Refrão 

  Am           D            G               Em 
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true 
  Am        D          G           Em 
I wanted to be you and do what you do 
  Am            D             B7              Em 
I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it's true 
         Am       D         G 
I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused 

 

              G              Em           Am                 D 
Well I don't want to eat the rich, I'd have to eat my heroes first 
         G              Em             Am                   D 
And my tuition's paid by blood, I might deserve your fate or worse 
            G              Em           Am                 D          
But I don't need your god damn money, I don't need jack shit from you 
          Am                  D                 G 
So when I speak, you bet your life my words are true 

 

       G              Em           Am                 D 
Let me level with you man, as someone guilty of the game 
            G              Em           Am                 D 
I took the help, I took the cash, I would've taken your last name 
      Am          D                   B7                Em 
So if any girl on Earth should get to make a call about this 
             Am           D                G 
It should be me, and as I see it, you're a dick 


 
             Am                 D               G                   
So fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your 
Em 
Cars again 
    Am                D                 G            Em 
You promised you'd be Tesla, but you're just another Edison 
       Am            D               B7              Em 
'Cause Tesla broke a patent, all you ever broke were hearts 
          Am             D         G 
I can't believe you tore humanity apart 
         Em          Am                     D                  G 
With the very same machines that could have been our brand new start 

And the worst part is 


  Am           D            G               Em 
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true 
    Am          D           G             Em 
And sometimes I feel like I still fuckin' do 
  Am            D             B7             Em 
I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true 
       Am          D        G    Em 
I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused 
Am D       G   Em 
I  feel so used 
Am D       G   Em 
I  feel so used 
Am      D      G  Em 
Take me to the moon 
Am D       G   Em 
I  feel so used 
Am D       G   Em 
I  feel so used
