Intro: C Em (2x) 


   C 
If pain was a color to paint on you 
     Em7 
Your heart would be the color blue. 
     Am 
Be a gradient from there till your body met your hair 
D 
Which would remain a silver hue 
C 
You are the one they call Jesus Christ. 
    Em7 
Who didn't know no rock and roll. 
       Am 
Just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam 
      D 
And a heart that always told you 

          F             C 
There's a madness in us all. 
          F             C 
There's a madness in us all. 



   C 
So who broke the rules? 
Em 
Who broke the rules? 
Am 
Who broke the rules? 
          F                           C 
They said every one of you will never try to lend a hand 
         Em7                         Am 
When the policemen don't understand. 
C             F 
Boys, all you boys 
                Am         G 
Think you're so American. 
C              F 
Girls, all you girls 
                Am         G 
Yeah you're so American. 




C 
He may not be born of this land 
    Em7 
But he was born of this world. 
       Am 
He was born of all the mothers and the colors of our brothers 
        D 
And the love that was taught to 

C 
you by the one they call Jesus Christ. 
   Em7 
He may not know no rock and roll. 
      Am 
There may not be a heaven, or a place of which to send you, 
        D 
But you know in the end 



          F            C 
There's a madness in us all. 
          F             C 
There's a madness in us all. 


   C 
So who broke the rules? 
Em 
Who broke the rules? 
Am 
Who broke the rules? 
          F                           C 
They said every one of you will never try to lend a hand 
         Em                           Am 
When the policemen don't understand. 
C             F 
Boys, all you boys 
                Am         G 
Think you're so American. 
C              F 
Girls, all you girls 
                Am         G 
Yeah you're so American. 


        F                  C 
There's two eyes for every one of us 
             Em                                Am G 
But somebody got there first and took them all. 

C       F 
Man, oh man 
                  Am         G 
You think it's so American 
C       F 
Man, oh man 
               Am         G 
Yeah you're so American  


        F                  C 
There's two eyes for every one of us 
             Em                                Am G 
But somebody got there first and took them all. 

        F                  C 
There's two eyes for every one of us 
             Em                                Am 
But somebody got there first and took them all.
