  Riff 1        G          A/D 002200
There will be heroes and villans
  Riff 1         G        Dsus  000233
Archtypes, the need for fill-ins
 C           G        C
I'm sick of scenes, playing the 
  G              C          G
eternal teen, greasing the star machine.

 Em             G          A/D    Em
I'm employed, rock star, steady
             G    Dsus
Paranoid, I am already
  C          G       C           G
Watching my back, Painting my windows black
C         G
I wasn't good for that.

 G       A\D           C
Pink is blue and the roses are dead,
 G     A\D      C
Sugar cookie, bullet in your head

I'm as I am, you're who you are

This is my favorite song in the world (for now 
anyways) so I hope it's mostly right.  More
Ron Hawkins and Lowest of the Low to come.
