[Verse 1]
Em Bm
He didn't give you that nickname
C D
But you smile when he calls you the Enola Gay
Am C
Turns the lights down low for your migraines
G D
And fetches what you've strewn
Em Bm
All around the room up and down the hall
C D
Asking for your Sodium Pentathol
Am C
So you can read aloud from your big tell-all
G D
Anecdotes in platitudes

[Chorus 1]
C D
This world's mean getting meaner too
G C
So why'd you have to make it all about you
C D Em
There's no harm in stepping to the side
C D
Light your hurricane lamp when the sky grows dark
G C
The wind's pissed off and the sun's at large
C D Em
What you've gotta do, it's just a matter of pride
D C G
Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind
