of Montreal - I Felt Like Smashing My Head Through a Clear Glass Window

      
 
              C#5 
 All day long 
            A5 
 I felt like
      C#5                    A5           G#5 
 Smashing my head through a clear glass window
            C#5 
 But instead
           A5 
 I went out
         C#5                    A5         G#5 
 And smashed up a phone booth around the corner
 
 C# 
  
 C#                          F#                 
 I never had the chance to choose my own parents
 C#                        G#                
 I never knew why I should be stuck with mine
 C#                    Bb        
 Mommy's always trying not to eat
 G#                                      C#            
 And Daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze
 
 C# 
  
 C#                          F               
 I never had the chance to choose my own name
 F#                        D#                
 I never knew why I should be stuck with mine
 C#                            Bb         
 Mommy's always talking about family pride
 G#                             C#               
 And Daddy's always hiding from his weekend bride
 
              C#5 
 All day long 
            A5 
 I felt like
      C#5                    A5           G#5 
 Smashing my head through a clear glass window
            C#5 
 But instead
           A5 
 I went out
         C#5                    A5         G#5   
 And smashed up a station wagon around the corner
 
 C# 
  
 C#                      F#            
 I looked in the mirror and told myself
 C#                           G#            
 "At least I don't look like them, at least"
 C#                             Bb            
 Mommy's like a filmstar in a distorted mirror
 G#                                C#              
 Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war
 
 C#                                F              
 I went to shake hands with the President in Miami
 F#                            D#        
 I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger
 C#             G#              Bbm           F# 
 You'll never believe it, the surprise of my life
 D#                                          C#  
 They had paint on their faces just like my Mommy
 
 C#                                    G#   
 Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy?
 Bbm                                   F#  
 Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy?
 C#          G#             Bbm      F#   
 Am I plain gone, or is it just the world?
 D#                          F#        C#  
 Daddy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy
 
 Bbm                             F#                              
 Trying to talk to them is like eating chicken dinner when you're
  G#  
 angry
 Bbm                                 F#                       
 Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream melt when
         G#   
 you're hungry
 Bbm                            G#                  
 They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break
         F#        Bbm        G#       C# 
 But my Mommy and Daddy broke up last fall
 
 C#                                    G#   
 Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy?
 Bbm                                   F#  
 Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy?
 C#         G#              Bbm      F#   
 Am I plain gone, or is it just the world?
 D#                          F#        C#  
 Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy
 
              C#5 
 All day long 
            A5 
 I felt like
      C#5                    A5           G#5 
 Smashing my head through a clear glass window
            C#5 
 But instead
           A5 
 I went out
         C#5               A5         G#5 
 And smashed up a church around the corner
