And there's nothing wrong with me  
        G                    A  
This is how I'm supposed to be

PART II:  
  
Verse 3:  
(soft)    D                       A  
At the center of the Earth in the parking lot  
       Bm                 A  
Of the Seven-Eleven where I was taught  
G                    A  
The motto was just a lie  
(soft)  D                              A  
It says home is where your heart is, but what a shame  
       Bm                 A  
Cuz' everyone's heart doesn't beat the same  
G                  A  
It's beating out of time  
  
  
Chorus 2:  
Bm   A  
City of the dead  
D             G  
At the end of another lost highway  
Bm         A        G  
Signs misleading to nowhere  
Bm   A  
City of the damned  
D                G  
Lost children with dirty faces today  
Bm         A          G  
No one really seems to care  
  
  
Verse 4:  
(soft)  D                        A  
I read the graffiti on the bathroom stall  
       Bm                       A  
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall  
G                    A  
And so it seemed to confess  
(soft)  D                        A  
It didn't say much but it only confirmed  
     
         Bm                         A  
That the center of the Earth is the end of the world  
G                    A  
And I can really care less.  
  
  
Chorus 2:  
Bm   A  
City of the dead  
D             G  
At the end of another lost highway  
Bm         A        G  
Signs misleading to nowhere  
Bm   A  
City of the damned  
D             G  
Lost children with dirty faces today   
Bm         A          G  
No one really seems to care

PART VI:  
  
Verse 9:  
(no chords, just piano)  
I don't feel any shame, I won't apologize  
When there ain't nowhere you can go  
Running away from pain when you've been victimized  
Tales from another broken...home
