The Alien Teclado

	  
verse 1 



Am                                    D/F# 
   The lights were low enough, you guessed 
                     G                                 C 
   You swapped your conscience with your father's medication 
Am                                   D/F# 
   Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville 
               G                                   C 
   And on the way, you wrote out a self-made declaration 


Am                                   D/F# 
   And when you got to Pleasant Hill 
                   G                            C 
   You forced the traffic to erase your family demons 
Am                                  D/F# 
   And made a pact with you and god 
                 G                              C 
   If you don't move, I swear to you I'm gonna make ya 


Chorus 1 



       C        Em 
Do you need me? 
       G        C 
Do you need me? 
       C        Em 
Do you need me? 
       G        C 
Do you need me? 


verse 2 

 

Am                                D 
   When the first officer arrived 
                   G                                 C 
   It happened to be the high school bully of your brother 
Am                        D 
   When you finally recognized 
                  G                               C 
   You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you 


Am                                    D 
   Can you hear me, what's your name? 
                   G                                C 
   You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage 
Am                                D 
   As the high school's letting out 
            G                                        C 
   All the kids are sayin' the same thing that they used to 


Chorus 2 

        C     Em 
It's an alien 
        G     C 
It's an alien 
        C     Em 
It's an alien 
        G     C 
It's an alien

verse 3 

Am                                 D 
   The lights are low enough you guessed 
             G                              C 
   Hospital food, there's never enough medication 
Am                              D 
   The doctor asked about your ears 
                  G                                 C 
   You said your mom said you were made from a revelation 


Am                        D 
   The revelation never scares 
                G                                   C 
   If you came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors 
Am                                D 
   Were you just finally letting go? 
            G                                 C 
   Did you mean to take out all those people with you? 


Chorus 3 

       C       Em 
Didn't mean to 
       G       C 
Didn't mean to

Didn't mean to 
       G       C
