A G A G

At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops

A G

With him on top, lemon yellow sun

A G

Arms raised in a V

A G

The dead lay in pools of maroon below

[Pre-Chorus]

Am G A G

Daddy didn't give attention

Am G A G

Oh, to the fact that Mommy didn't care

A G

King Jeremy the wicked

A G

Oh, ruled his world

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

A G A G

Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy

A G

Seemed a harmless little fuck

A G

Ooh, but we unleashed a lion

A G

Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast

A G

How could I forget?

A G

And he hit me with a surprise left

A G

My jaw left hurtin', ooh, dropped wide open

A G

Just like the day, oh, like the day I heard

[Pre-Chorus]

Am G A G

Daddy didn't give affection, no

Am G A G

And the boy was something that Mommy wouldn't wear

A G

King Jeremy the wicked

A G

Oh, ruled his world

[Chorus]

F Dm E A

Jeremy spoke in class today

[Bridge]

F G A

Try to forget this

F G A

Try to forget this

F G A

Try to erase this

F G A

From the blackboard

[Chorus/Outro]
