Intro
G-Cadd9
G-Cadd9

G
Pulling on the apron strings looking up 
Cadd9
Standing on the chair to be grown up 
  Em
I feel so little, I need my pillow 
D
I hate the time, I hate the clock, I want to be a dog or I want to be a rock 
G
Sunday's pancakes Miss Mary Mack 
Cadd9
Color Polariods show my heart attack 
      G
In my second-hand pants and dusty shoes 
    Cadd9
The day that the playground laughed at my shoes 
        Em
It's my birthday next week and what I want please 
      D
Is to turn on the heat so the fish won't freeze 
    Cadd9
The fish in the tank froze and died last week 
     D
Oh I want to be a dog or I want to be a leaf 

Chorus
G      D        Em   D
Quarry miners, fishermen 
Cadd9                 D
In my town of Bethlehem 
G      D        Em        D
Picket fences, church at ten 
   Cadd9
No star above my Bethlehem 

        G
Now I'm only 16 and I think I have an ulcer 
    Cadd9
I'm hiding my sex behind a dirty sweatshirt 
     Em
I've lost five pounds these past few days 
D
Trying to be class president and get straight A's, 
      Cadd9
Well, who gives a shit about that anyway? 
      D
I just want to be a dog or a lump of clay

Chorus
G      D      Em   D
Quarry miners, fishermen 
Cadd9                 D
In my town of Bethlehem 
G      D      Em      D
Picket fences, church at ten 
Cadd9            D
No star above my Bethlehem 

Bridge
Cadd9                       Em
Still I'm tired of standing still 
                 Am
Tired of living still 
Cadd9      Am              Cadd9-D 
Everyday I dream of leaving 


D
Everybody's talking about Becky's bust 
       D  
The boys on the basketball team just fuck 
      Em
The same ten girls, who don't know who they are 
        D
They're looking for some comfort in the back of a car 
    Cadd9
The six-packs of beer, the locker room jeers 
      D
I don't want to be me, I don't want to be here 


Chorus
G      D       Em    D
Quarry miners, fishermen 
Cadd9                 D
In my town of Bethlehem 
G      D       Em        D
Picket fences, church at ten 
Cadd9
No star above my Bethlehem 
G          D         Em-D-Cadd9-D
Red brick schoolhouse
G        D           Em   D
Dead end dirt roads, daffodils 
Cadd9            D
No star above my Bethlehem 

Coda
Cadd9                                    Cadd9
I want to be a dog or I want to be a rock 
        D                                         G
I don't want to be me, I don't want to be here in Bethlehem.
