The [C] silicon chip in[Em]side her head gets [F] switched to over[G7]load

[F] Sweet sixteen ain't that [G7] peachy keen,

Bridge: {blue}(softer strum){/blue}
All the [C] playing's stopped in the [Em] playground now 
She [F] wants to play with her [G*] toys-[G*]-a-[G*]-while
And [C] school's out early and [Em] soon we'll be learning 
And the [F] lesson today is [G*] how-[G*]-to-[G*]-die [Pause]

Verse 3: {blue}(slower){/blue}
And then the [F] bullhorn crackles, and the [G7] captain tackles 
With the [C] problems and the how's and [F] why's
And he can see* no reasons cos there are* no reasons
What reason* do you need to [G7] die, die? Oh oh oh

The... whole... day... [C] down [Em] [F] [G*][G*]  [F*][F*]
