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