Intro:
This little riff goes on throughout the song but is audible at the beginning

Part I:
Ab         Fm
Ab         Fm
Ab
A band trip dance - what could be the harm,
Fm
but a six week vacation from the use of my right arm?
Ab
Just the two hits, I remember nothing more:
Fm
Alex hitting the switch and me hitting the floor.
C#           Fm   Bbm   Fm
We're taking this lying down.
Bbm                  Fm                     C
The one thing I can stand up for is resting supine on the ground.
C#        Fm             Bbm           Fm
Mr. McDermott, won't you help me to my feet?
Bbm                          Fm          C                         Ab
Because the drumline's going wild in the San Francisco streets.
Ab
The long walk home, an hour and a half,
Fm
quickly turns to three or four with stops at every underpass,
Ab
but by June 22nd, I have done the math.
Fm
That's a hundred and five liters I'll consume of Dr. Path.
C#              Fm         Bbm        Fm
Some girls will tell their secrets to anyone.
Bbm                  Fm                       C
The word "love" gets thrown around a lot near graduation,
C#              Fm      Bbm                  Fm
so please don't whisper sweet nothings in my ear
Bbm                         Fm           C                        C#      Ab
when the sound of shredding vocal chords is what I want to hear,
Eb                                       E
because we're going to San Francisco and I forget to wear some flowers in my hair.

C                  G            F            C
She's got a secret surname that nobody knows
C                      G                    F                  C
with the most gorgeous hyphen (you wouldn't believe the way it glows)
Am               C               F             G
and I'm the only one who gets to see it way up close,
F                                       G
so the rest of you can stick it up your nose.
C                     G                    F           C
Last night, I had the strangest dream that I have ever known -
C               G            F                  C
my mother, in a fit of rage, chases me from our home.
Am             C              F              G
My mother, the murderer holds me down in the road.
F                                 Ab
She's got the nail clippers at my throat.
Part III:
Ab     Ab        Fm        C#

Ab                                           Fm
Even though things lately may have been real horrorshow,
                          C#                    Eb
I'm wishing I was back in utero. I'd like to go back to the way that things were before,
Ab                                      Fm
but apparently, I'm looking at physical therapy.
                           C#                                        Eb
It won't be exactly how it used to be. It ain't hard to see that it's not that way, not that way anymore.
Ab                                 Fm
Jesus Christ is suffering upon his cross tonight.
                               C#                          Eb                                     Ab       Fm
I just sit outside waiting for frost to bite. "It's always this way," she says on her way out the door.
C#            Eb
Wait and see. The rest is yet to reveal itself to me.
