     Go ahead and rub my nose in it

(main riff once)
(with riff 2.)
     You can't fire me because I quit

(main riff)
  You make me feel invisible
  Well, surely you see me now
  Stretched out on the floor of your house 
  foaming at the mouth

(with riff 2.)
  with the needle in my arm
(with main riff once)
  next to a smoking gun
(with riff 2.)
  and an empty razor case
(with main riff once)
  and a note that says

   Dear Jack I hate you  love Diane
   Dear Jack I hate you  love Diane

(with main riff)
  The neighborhood is gonna watch me, as I create the great finale
  A perfect swan dive out the window, crash the car off the road

(with riff 2.)
  You're not gonna miss me
(with main riff once)
  But you're gonna remember my body
(with riff 2.)
  Crumpled in a heap
(with main riff once)
  In the middle of your street

Bridge
  C#     G#5    D#           C#       G#5     D5

  Clean  up   your mess      Clean    up   your mess
  Clean  up   your mess      Clean    up   your mess

(with main riff)
  Finally you're carrying me over the threshold try to revive me
  With a cold compress but it's too late I guess your best just isn't
(with riff 2.)
  good enough with every warm embrace
(with main riff once)
  it was a selfish act and
(with riff 2.)
  every smiling face it was a trap
(with main riff once)
  you shit, you stabbed me in the back.

Pre-chorus and chorus again
Bridge again
end with main riff...
