Intro:  G
 
G                      C           G
You came, you went, my mind it got a dent
                               D
I couldn't make my rent, cause all my cash was lent
     G                    C               G
This town is filled, with thousand-dollar-bills
                 D
Lamenated songs, contaminaded lawns
        C                         G
Well we ate about fifteen times a day
C                              G
Staring through a bag of frito-lay
      C                          G
And I play with the fire in the stove
        A                    C              G
When my eyes peel out and my fingertips get cold
          B
Well it's real and it's fake
         G
And it's flaming like a steak
          B
And she's putting out my face
         G
With the rake
   A              C                 G            D
Oh honey you knew, that you were my one and only blur
G                       C              G
Unglued, depressed, the meatloaf in my chest
                    D
Personality test, I failed with the best
      G
And I stopped and I stormed
      C                G
And I past out in your dorm
 
Then you hustled me outside
  D
I couldn't catch a ride
        C                        G
But the subwaytrains speak to me now
    C                                G
I'm browsing through the supermarket town
        C                         G
And the girls don't talk when I'm around
        A                C                G
And I'm feeling bad even though nothing's wrong
 
With solo:
 
G  -C-  G  - D -
G  -C-  G                    D     -  G
          Choking on a breathmint

So, this is supposed to be about Modesto, California ... why? What does this song mean?! :D No subways here, and how are we eating 15 times a day? whats is all mean! :D The "Frito Lay" reference is spot on - and "thousand dollar bills" (... cause' they fake, and no one has, :)) The subway reference I think is to his old home (california dont have subways, just a bart) before he got to live in Modesto. He is singing to the city.
