D

If you could see yourself

A

The way that I do

G

You might change

A thing or two

D A

You wouldn't look so angry

G

You'd know it doesn't

Look good on you

So grab your coat

A

Grab your hats

G

There ain't no saying

A

If we're coming back

D

Cause something's gone

G

So terribly wrong

A D

Here in Pleasantville

(play intro x1)

Do you remember

How we'd stay out so late

We used to have

So much fun

We used to wish that the morning sun

Just wouldn't ever come

But look as us now

We're tucked in tight

We're just praying for a little

light

Cause' somethings' gone

So terribly wrong

Here in Pleasantville

(play intro x2)

D

I need to tell you now

A G

As we leave

D

That it's much worse

A G

Than you would believe

Em

And no matter how far

D

You think you've been

C

The beginning

A

That's where you are

G

So I'm using my last match

A G

To put a fire up on every hill

A D

And burn down Pleasantville

(intro x2)

We never did learn (play variations of intro during

How to use our voices this verse)

We never thought

That we'd be heard

The only way they ever listen

Is if we scream every word

Cause there's nothing

In our walk

That just ain't the kind of

luck we've got

So let's move in

Cause something's wrong

So terribly wrong

Here in Pleasantville

(introx4)
