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