_ _ [D] _ It's _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ a strange song [A] to play on the piano
because of all the [G] places you might grow up
and of all the bad things [A] you might say [E] about the Ellen Empire,
the [Dm] chance that your style [A] was really equipped
by religious fundamentalism are slim.
_ [G] _ _ _ It [A] exists, and in fact,
[D] the thing that happens to [A] our narrators

[G] _ a junior in high [A] school.
_ _ _ [D]
He [Am] needed to go to school and hang out with his girlfriend, Allison.
[G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
But the elders were [D] waiting for him _ _ _
because his family didn't like the direction his life [G] had taken. _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ He woke up the next morning in [A] Utah. _
[G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
His girlfriend was [D] bombed. _ _
If I remember correctly, he got out when he was [G] 18. _

[Am] That happens in a lot of places [G] around the country.
_ _ _ [A] I went on to work [D] with a lot of kids
who were the kids who'd been sent away someplace.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ I admitted a kid to a unit one [G] time.
He looked a lot like [A] me at 14.
Scrawny, scrawny, [D] scrawny kid.
Long hair, he liked to have him [G] little. _
I was doing the [A] admission paper.
When you admit somebody, [D] they show up, _ _ _ _ _

_ And _ [D] _
you sit [G] in the dining area.
_ _ [A] _ 14-year-old [D] kid, insecure about his body,
now sitting in a robe in [G] front of

Did [D] _ _ _
[A] _ you know you were coming here [G] today? _

_ _ [D] Best ever death metal band out of den
was [G] a couple of guys who had [A] been friends since grade school.
[D] One was named Cyrus, and the other was Jeff.
And they would [G] practice twice a week [A] in Jeff's bedroom.

[A] _ _ _ [D] Best ever death metal band out of den.
_ [G] _ Never said a [A] long name.
[D] But the top three [A] contenders after weeks of debate
were [G] Satan's Fingers and [A] Corpulent Pestilence
and the [D] Hospital Bombers.
_ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [D] Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts that they were headed [G] for stage lights and leader [A] jets
and fortune and fame, [D] so in scripts that made prominent use of pentagram,
[G] they'd stencil their drumheads [A] and their guitars with their names.
And [G] this was how Cyrus [A] got sent to the school
[D] where they told him he would never [G] be famous.
_ And this was why Jeff, [A] in the letters he'd write to his friend,
helped develop [G] a plan to get even.
[D] When you punish a person for dreaming his dream,
[G] don't expect him to thank or [A] forgive you.
