A   E        D        A
My heart is beating from me
A      E      D     A
I am standing all alone
A       E    D A
Please call me only
A   E       D      A
If you are coming home
E               A
Waste another year flies by
E                  A
Waste a night or two
D           A  D   A  E
You taught me how to live

          A    D    E
In the streets of shame,
              A          D    A   D   E
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain,
            A    D   E
There's no signs of hope,
               D                A    D  E
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope,
            A   D  E
There's a glow of light,
         A             D   A    D  E
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night,
         A    D     E
Bearing gifts and trust,
            D       A       E
The fixture in the city of lust

         F#m     E    A
What the hell's your name,
             F#m        E           A
What's your pleasure, what is your pain?
        F#m   E   A
Do you dream too much?
         D                    A  E
Do you think what you need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain,
St. Jimmy comes without any shame,
He says "We're fucked up",
But we're not the same,
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame

      F#m  E A
Jimmy died today
            F#m          E      A
He blew his brains out into the bay,
       F#m   E  A
In the state of mind
        D              E
it's my own private suicide

(2 - East 12th Street)

      D A G  A
Well nobody cares,
      D A G  A
Well nobody cares,
      D A G  A       D A G  A
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
      D A G  A
Well nobody cares,
      D A G  A
Well nobody cares,
      D A G  A       D A G  A
Does anyone care if nobody cares?

 D                    G    D
Jesus is filling out paperwork now,
G         D     A       D
At the facility on east 12th Street,
D                   G    D
He's not listening to a word now,
 G          D
He's in his own world,
     A        D
And he's daydreaming
D                     G        D
He'd rather be doing something else now,
      D              G              A     D
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,
     D                         G  D
His life's on the line with anxiety now,
  D        G
She had enough,
     A        D
And he had plenty

 D            G  D  A   D  D G D A D
Somebody get me out of here,
D            G  D  A   D  D G D A D
Anybody get me out of here,
D            G   D   A D   D G D A D
Somebody get me out of here,
D                G     D  A   D
Get me the fuck right out of here

C
So far away,
A
I don't want to stay,
C                        A
Get me outta here right now,
C
I just want to be free,
A
Is there a possibility?
C                         A
Get me out of here right now,

C A
Out!
C A
Out!
C A
Out!
C A
Out!
       D C G A
Alright!

      D             G      A   D
This lifelike dream ain't for me

(3 - Nobody Likes You)

D         A          G              A
I fell asleep while watching Spike TV,
      D           A
After 10 cups of coffee,
             G        A
And you're still not here,
  D            A
Dreaming of a song,
      G               A
When something went wrong,
         D         A
And you can't tell anyone,
      G        A
'Cos no one's here

Bm             A
Left me here alone,
         G                 D
When I should have stayed home,
      Bm          A
After 10 cups of coffee,
      D
I'm thinking,

D       A
Nobody likes you,
G         A
Everyone left you,
        D           A
They're all out without you,
 G      A
Havin' fun,

D         A
Everyone left you,
G       A
Nobody likes you,
        D           A
They're all out without you,
G       A
Havin' fun,

             D
Where'd you go?

(4 - Rock and Roll Girlfriend)

A
I got a rock and roll band,
D
I got a rock and roll life,
A
I got a rock and roll girlfriend,
E
And another ex-wife

A
I got a rock and roll house,
D
I got a rock and roll car,
A
I play the shit out of the drums,
E
And I can play the guitar

A
I got a kid in New York,
D
I got a kid in the Bay,
A
I haven't drank or smoked nothin',
   E
In over 22 days,

       G       A
So get off of my case,
    G       A
Get off of my case,
G       A
Off of my case

(5 - We're Coming Home Again)

D                        Bm
Here they come marching down the street,
D                   Bm          G      A
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat,
D                    Bm
Coming back from the edge of town,
G                  A
Underneath their feet

The time has come and it's going nowhere,
Nobody ever said that life was fair now,
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear,
In the summer heat

G              A                   G
The world is spinning around and around,
            A
Out of control again,

G          A          Bm               E
From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down,
    D       G      A
So send my love a letterbomb,
    D     G     A
To visit me in hell,
G         A     G A
We're the ones going

 D
Home.
              A
We're coming home again
 D
Home.
              A
We're coming home again

G
I started fuckin' running,
                D
As soon as my feet touch ground,
G
We're back in the barrio,
        A
But to you and me, that's Jingletown. That's
D
Home.

              A
We're coming home again,
 D
Home.
              A
We're coming home again,
 D
Home.
              A
We're coming home again,
 D
Home.
             A
We're coming home again,
D
Home.
              A          G
We're coming home again,
 D
Home.
              A          G
We're coming home again,
 D
Home.
              A          G
We're coming home again,
 D
Home.
              A          G
We're coming home again,

 D
Nobody likes you,
Everyone left you,
They're all out without you,
Havin' fun
