This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics

At the centre of the earth

in the parking lot

of the 7-11

where I saw taught

The motto was just a lie

It says "home is where your heart is"

but what a shame

'cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same

We're beating out of time

City of the dead

at the end of another lost highway

signs misleading to nowhere

City of the damned

lost children with dirty faces today

no one really seems to care

I read the graffiti

in the bathroomstall

like the holy scriptures

in a shopping mall

And so it seemed to confess

It didn't say much

but it only confirmed that

the centre of the earth

is the end of the world

And I could care less
