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

Let it burn for good, Yeah let it burn for good
