VERSE 1
Db5
       I'm the son of rage and love
Bb5
       The Jesus of Suburbia
        Gb5
The bible of none of the above
            Ab5
On a steady diet of
Db5
       Soda Pop and Ritalin
Bb5
       No one ever died from my
 Gb5
Sins in hell

As far as I can tell
                      Ab5
At least the ones that I got away with

CHORUS
                      Gb5                               Ab5
And there's nothing wrong with me
              Gb5                                 Ab5
This is how I'm supposed to be
        Gb5                      Ab5
In a land of make believe
                                        Db5  Ab5  Gb5
That don't believe in me

Db5  Ab5  Gb5

VERSE 2
Db5
       Get my television fix
Bb5
       Sitting on my crucifix
        Gb5               
The living room or my private womb
                    Ab5
While the Moms and Brads are away
Db5
       To fall in love and fall in debt
Bb5
       To alcohol and cigarettes
           Gb5
And Mary Jane

To keep me insane
            Ab5
Doing someone else's cocaine

CHORUS
                      Gb5                               Ab5
And there's nothing wrong with me
              Gb5                                 Ab5
This is how I'm supposed to be

In a land of make believe

Part ii: City of the Damned
VERSE 1
             Db5
At the center of the earth
           Ab5
In the parking lot
                Bb5
Of the seven-eleven were I was taught
Gb5                                       Ab5
       The motto was just a lie
             Db5
It says home is were your heart is
 Ab5
But what a shame
              Bb5
Cause everyone's heart
              Ab5
Doesn't beat the same
Gb5                                 Ab5
       It's beating out of time

CHORUS
Bb5         Ab5              Db5
        City of the dead
                           Gb5
At the end of another lost highway
Bb5                  Ab5                 Gb5
       Signs misleading to nowhere
Bb5        Ab5                    Db5
       City of the damned
                                  Gb5
Lost children with dirty faces today
Bb5              Ab5                      Gb5
       No one really seems to care

VERSE 2
           Db5
I read the graffiti
           Ab5
In the bathroom stall
               Bb5                               Ab5
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
Gb5                                            Ab5
       And so it seemed to confess
           Db5
It didn't say much
           Ab5
But it only confirmed that
        Bb5
The center of the earth
             Ab5
Is the end of the world
Gb5                                         Ab5
       And I could really care less

CHORUS

At the end of another lost highway
Bb5                  Ab5                 Gb5
       Signs misleading to nowhere
Bb5         Ab5                    Db5
        City of the damned
                                  Gb5
Lost children with dirty faces today
Bb5               Ab5                     Gb5
       No one really seems to care

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
