                C9  G
When I was in grade six
          C9                                    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
(with fill 1)      C9 - G
You said that I'd die if I had nothing to do
      C9                         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

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
 (with fill 2)            C9 - G
And times when it still feels right
  C9                             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

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
