With a lighter and some hairspray, Smoking in the girls' room

Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some
G
Now we look back and see that she didn't know how

We never thought that we'd get caught up
G
Stuck in the teenage waste

Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the
G
Kmart rolling around in them to see if you would get
AM
Prickled slip the acid on your tongue rooftop
G
Mall parkade, we couldn't get enough
AM
Then count the stars and the ten million woes
G
Just you and the universe judging each other
AM
We never knew that we'd get caught up
G
Stuck in the teenage waste
[CHORUS]
DM AM G
As we explode
DM AM G
As we explode
DM AM G
As we explode
DM AM G
As we let go

It's truth or dare, we don't care
