Introduction: G C2 G C2 G
C2 G
When I was in grade six
C2 G
I used to hold open the door for a girl and she called me a wimp
C C/B- Am G
She said there just isn't no need to be so fucking polite
C C/B- Am G
I politely agreed with her I think she was right
Am G
It just never entered my mind
Am G C- C/B- Am- G
That a twelve year old came down to choosing sides
C2- G
You said that I'd die if I had nothing to do
C2 G
Put a drink in my hand and I'd talk to anything that moves
C C/B Am G
I just refused to give you what you think would make things right
C C/B Am G
And just to find hate when you've lost the will to fight
fill 1
Am G
And would it be really in touch with the times
Am G C- C/B- Am- G
To put somebody down by choosing sides
CHORUS
C D
And she said show us them teeth give us them braces
C D
Show us that dental work that puts fear in twelve year old
D- D/C#- C
faces
G Am C/B C C/B- Am
I could make you feel even half worthwhile just please don't ask me
G
to smile
C2- G
And times when it still feels right
C2 G
I hold open the door for a girl or back down from a fight
C C/B- Am G
If there just isn't no need to be so fucking polite
C C/B Am G
At least it helps us sleep easier at night
fill 2
Am G
It just never enters my mind
Am G
That ever should come down to choosing sides
REPEAT CHORUS
G Am C/B C
I could prove to you that a doer don't get hurt
C C/B Am C G
Just please don't ask me to smile
