Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

you can have washington i'll take new jersey

 you can have london but i want new york city

i should get providence i've got a job now

 los angeles - obvious - that's where you belong now

(continue chords as above)

you can have africa asia australia

as long as you keep your hands off cafe pamplona

we can split germany right down the middle

you'd hate it there anyway

take berlin and well call it even

you can take all of the carry-on baggage

i'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language

and special occasions we'll split between parents

who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends

you call it over and i call you psycho, significant other?

 just say we were lovers and we'll call it even

we'll call it even

Chorus/Refrain

i am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered

disgused as a hero to get past your borders

i know when i'm wanted i'll leave when you ask me to

mind my own business and speak when i'm spoken to

i am the tower around which you orbited

i am not proud i am just taking orders

i fall to the groud within hours of impact

i hit back if hit and attack if attacked

Verse 2

you get route 2 between concord and lexington

 i want mass ave from the sqaure to my apartment

and if we should meet through some misunderstanding

 ill be very sweet very patient and forgiving

(now get off my side of the state)

and if we should see one another in passing

 despite these techniques there is sometimes no avoiding

(there must be some kind of mistake)

we'll raise high our white flags and bow heads and shake hands

 declaring the land we're on unamerican we'll call it even

we'll call it even

Chorus/Refrain

i am the tower around which you orbited

i am not proud i am just taking orders

i fall to the groud within hours of impact

i hit back if hit and attack if attacked

i am an accident waiting to happen

i'm laughing like mad as you strangle the captain

my place may be taken, but make no mistake

from a little black black box i can say without shame

that you've lost, that you've lost, do you know what you've lost?

Outro

so take whatever you'd like

i'll strike like the States on fire

you won't sleep very tight

no hiding no safe covers

make your bed and now lie

just like you always do

you can fake it for the papers

but i'm on to you, i'm on to you

so take whatever you'd like

i'll strike like the States on fire

you won't sleep very tight

no hiding no safe covers

make your bed and now lie

just like you always do

you can fake it for the papers

but i'm on to you, i'm on to you, i'm on to you, i'm on to you!
