[G] Was a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade school.

[G] _ Never settled on [Em] a name
[D] But the top three contenders, some of which have now been used, [G] were Satan's Fingers
And [A] the Killers and [D] the Hospital Bombers

Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts
That they were [G] headed for stage lights and [D] Learjet and fortune and fame
So in scripts that made prominent use of a [G] pentagram
They would stencil their drumheads and their guitars with their names
And this was how Cyrus [A] got sent off to the school [D] in Utah
Where they told him he would [G] never be famous
And this was why Jeff, [A] in the letters he'd [D] write to his friend
Helped [G] develop a plan to get [D] even when you punish a person
For dreaming his dream, [G] don't expect him to thank or forgive you
