          A
There are four whole people in this house
    A            A/G#       F#m
And I'm the last one awake again
      A
And tomorrow we'll be biting nails
    A                 A/G#          E
And biting tongues to higher stakes again
        D
And I'm thinking if I just don't sleep
    A
The morning won't sneak up on me
   D                       E
As just another yesterday again

CHORUS
E         D                      E
But I was brilliant for just one day
   A        A/G#   F#m
In nineteen eighty-eight
         D
I didn't have to talk, I didn't have to think
     E
They flushed my sins right down a sink
    A               A/G#              F#m
Ten fingers and ten toes, and you're okay
                               E
Yeah, I think that's what they say
                   A
Well, how about today?

INTRO RIFF

VERSE 2
  A
I think the world has got my number
A                  A/G#         F#m
Oh my God, there's digits in my eyes
  A
I think that I've been dancing 'round
    A                    A/G#          F#m
The brightest rooms in a cellophane disguise
D
Everybody still remembers
A
Things that I said last September
D                           E
Oh, but worst of all, so do I

CHORUS
            D                     E
But I was a stranger for just one day
A             A/G#     F#m
Born with the cleanest slate
   D
My mother loved me before she knew me
E
Gave me a name that didn't suit me
    A    A/G#      F#m
But hey, that's okay
                E
I've kept it anyway
        Esus4   E   A
What if I threw it away?

VERSE 3
       A
And to me God's just a metaphor
       A            A/G#              F#m
He's a metaphor for everything that's strange
  A
I take his name in vain a lot
    A                 A/G#               E
But I'm not sure just what it means these days
    D
Sometimes I wish that I were still religious
 A
Along with a lot of other wishes
    D                                    E
But I don't think that God would know my name

CHORUS
             D               E
But I was forgiven in bygone days
       A          A/G#   F#m
When I still knew how to pray
    D
And all the words were etched in gold
       E
On the little Bible that I stole
        A          A/G#       F#m
From my teacher in second grade
                         E
The one I didn't mean to take
    Esus4      E     A
Oh, what would Jesus say?

CHORUS/OUTRO
E               D             E
And things were perfect for a time
   A        A/G#   F#m
In nineteen ninety-nine
       D
I was eleven years old, and we drove south
      E
Yeah, down to my grandfather's house
    A    A/G#        F#m
And everything was fine
                      E
It was right before he died
        Esus4  E       A
We were all so goddamn fine
A    play first half of
F#m / the intro here
        E              A
We were all so goddamn fine
