[Intro]
EM  A
EM  A

[Verse]
EM          A
Blue sky us holding down
        EM
There's no why
A                 EM    A
Only the sound of happy TV land
                        B
Cue the canned applause


[Verse]
EM       A                          EM
Sidewalk fall through the cracks to China
A
Never get back
    EM      A                                     B
I'm nothing in these blues and laceless Velcro shoes


[Chorus]
A                           E
  There used to be a reason why
                              A
We wrote the words across the sky
                     F#m           B
You and I will never die without a fight
            EM   A
My suburban muse
EM           A
   La la la la


[Verse]
EM          A
Green grass towering high
     EM           A
This white house, in it we'll die
  EM       A                               B
A thousand tiny lies take the place of you
     EM      A
I've seen it too
   EM                 A
In all the things you do
   EM              A
It lives inside of you
                  B
A parasite or two


[Chorus]
A                           E
  There used to be a reason why
                              A
We wrote the words across the sky
                     F#m           B
You and I will never die without a fight
            EM   A
My suburban muse


[Bridge]
G#m           A     D#5      E
    I'm the king of ordinary things
G#m                  A        B
    They're killing me from inside out
              EM  A
I'll give it away
EM          A
   La la la la


[Chorus]
A                           E
  There used to be a reason why
                              A
We wrote the words across the sky
                     F#m           B
You and I will never die without a fight
             A
My suburban muse
                             E
Between the cars on dusty streets
                             A
The cul de sac is where we meet
                               F#m                 B
I crunch the leaves beneath my feet and curse this town
            EM   A
My suburban muse
EM          A
   La la la la
