Green Day - Jesus Of Suburbia: Guitar Chords

C#
I'm the son of rage and love
A#m
The Jesus of Suburbia
          F#
From the Bible of none of the above
       G#
On a steady diet of

Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my
Sins in hell, as far as I can tell
At least the ones I've gotten away with

Chorus:
F#                              G#
And there's nothing wrong with me
F#                          G#
This is how I'm supposed to be
      F#            G#
In a land of make-believe
That don't believe in me

Get my television fix
Sitting on my crucifix
The living room on my private womb
While the moms and Brads are away
To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane
To keep me insane
Doing someone else's cocaine

Chorus

II. City of the Damned

       C#
At the center of the earth
       G#/C
In the parking lot
       A#m          G#
Of the 7-11 where I was taught
F#                    G#
The motto was just a lie

It says "home is where your heart is"
But what a shame
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same
It's beating out of time

Chorus:
A#m     G#
   City of the dead
C#                F#
  At the end of another lost highway
A#m          G#            F#
   Signs misleading to nowhere

A#m      G#
   City of the damned
C#                    F#
  Lost children with dirty faces today
A#m        G#               F#
   No one really seems to care

I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess

It didn't say much, but it only confirmed
That the center of the Earth is the end of the world
And I could really care less

Chorus

III. I Don't Care

G#           C#
I don't care if you don't
G#           C#
I don't care if you don't
F#           C#            G#
I don't care if you don't care
G#           C#
I don't care if you don't
G#           C#
I don't care if you don't
F#           C#            G#
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

F#      G#
I don’t care...

C#                       A   G#
Everyone is so full of shit
C#                       A   G#
Born and raised by hypocrites
C#                         A   G#
Hearts recycled but never saved
C#                       A   G#
From the cradle to the grave

We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the Middle East
We are the stories and disciples
Of the Jesus of Suburbia

F#            G#    C# G#
Land of make-believe
F#            G#         C# G#
And it don't believe in me
F#            G#    C#  G#
Land of make-believe
F#            G#
And I don't believe

    F#  G#   C#
And I don’t care
And I don’t care
And I don’t care
And I don’t care
    F#  G#   C#  G#
And I don’t care

IV. Dearly Beloved

G#                      Cm
Dearly beloved are you listening?
C#                       G#             D#
I can’t remember a word that you were saying
G#                    Cm
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
C#                            G#           D#
The space that's in between insane and insecure

Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

V. Tales of Another Broken Home

    G#       F#  C#   G#  F# C#
To live and not to breathe
       G#    F# C# G# F#  C#
Is to die in tragedy

To run, to run away
To find what you believe

Chorus:
    C# G# C# G# C#     G#  D# G# D# G# D#
And I            Leave be hind
 G#   C# G# C# G#  C# G# D# G# D# G# D#
This hurricane of fucking lies

I lost my faith to this
This town that don't exist
So I run, I run away
To the lights of masochists

And I leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
And I walked this line
A million and one fucking times
But not this time

C#           D#
I don't feel any shame
  G#         C#
I won’t apologize
C#                D#             G#
When there ain't nowhere you can go

C#        D#
Running away from pain
      G#               C#
When you've been victimized
C#          D#
Tales from another broken...
 G#
Home.
       F#   C#   G#
You’re leaving...
       F#   C#   G#
You’re leaving...
       F#   C#   G#
You’re leaving...
           F#  C#
Ah, you’re leaving home...
