Dm Dm F F C C A# A#
[Verse]
Dm F C A#
I hear the rock show winding down at the high school
Dm F C A#
Kids out on the sidewalk, waiting for a ride
Dm F C A#
All the punks and the queers and the freaks and the smokers
Dm F C A#
Feel like they'll be waiting for the rest of their lives
[Chorus]
F C A#
Alright I hear what you're saying to me
F C A#
Alright I hear what I just can't do
F C A#
But I got this spark I got to feed it something
Dm F C A#
Or put it out for good, put it out for good
[Verse]
Dm F C
The stadium lights were breaking through the bleachers
A# Dm F C
I spent all day pushing tissue roses into chicken wire
A# Dm F C
Hey S. G. A., I'm an overachiever of the wrong persuasion
A# Dm F C A#
A# pep rally kid, a new gender nation with a new desire
[Chorus]
F C A#
Alright I hear what you're saying to me
F C A#
Alright I hear what I just can't do
F C A#
But I got this spark I got to feed it something
Dm F C A#
Or put it out for good, put it out for good
[Bridge]
Dm A# C
Rub up against it till you it gets inside you
Dm A# C
Rub up against it till it's understood
Dm A# C
Those aren't your friends talking shit about you
Dm A# C
We've had it bad, we're gonna make it good
[Chorus]
F C A#
Alright I hear what you're saying to me (rub up against me till it's alright)
F C A#
Alright I hear what I just can't do (rub up against me till it's alright)
F C A#
But we got this spark, we got to feed it something(rub up against me and)
Dm F C A#
Let it burn for good, Yeah let it burn for good
Dm F C A#
Let it burn for good, Yeah let it burn for good
