# Capo on 1st

C C
I'm the son of rage and love
Am Am
The Jesus of suburbia
F F
From the Bible of none of the above
G G
On a steady DIET of

C C
Soda pop and Ritalin
Am Am
No one ever died for my
F F
Sins in hell, as far as I can tell
G G
At least the ones I've gotten away with

F F G G
And there's nothing wrong with me
F F G G
This is how I'm supposed to be
F F G G
In a land of make believe

That don't believe in me

| C C - G G | F F | (x2)

C C
Get my TELEVISION fix
Am Am
Sitting on my crucifix
F F
The living room or my private womb
G G
While the moms and brads are away

C C
To fall in love and fall in debt
Am Am
To alcohol and cigarettes
F F
And Mary Jane to keep me insane
G G
And doing someone else's cocaine

F F G G
And there's nothing wrong with me
F F G G
This is how I'm supposed to be
F F G G
In a land of make believe

That don't believe in me

| C C - G G | F F | (x2)

| C C | Am Am | F F | G G |

| C C | E E | Am Am - G G | F F | G G |

C C
At the center of the earth
C/B C/B
In the parking lot
Am Am G G
Of the 7-11 were I was taught
F F G G
The motto was just a lie

C C
It says home is were your heart is
C/B C/B
But what a shame
Am AmG G
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same
F F G G
We're beating out of time

Am Am G G
City of the dead
C C F F
At the end of another lost highway
Am Am G G F F
Sign misleading to nowhere
Am Am G G
City of the damned
C C F F
Lost children with dirty faces today
Am Am G G F F
No one really seems to care

C C
I read the graffiti
C/B C/B
In the BATHROOM stall
Am Am G G
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
F F G G
And so it seemed to confess

C C
It didn't say much
C/B C/B
But it only confirmed that
Am Am G G
The center of the earth is the end of the world
F F G G
And I could really care less

Am Am G G
City of the dead
C C F F
At the end of another lost highway
Am Am G G F F
Sign misleading to nowhere
Am Am G G
City of the damned
C C F F
Lost children with dirty faces today
Am Am G G F F
No one really seems to care

I don't care if you don't

I don't care if you don't

I don't care...

C C G# G# - G G
Everyone is so full of shit
C C G# G# - G G
Born and raised by hypocrites
C C G# G# - G G
Hearts recycled but never saved
C C G# G# - G G
From the cradle to the grave
C C G# G# - G G
We are the kids of war and peace
C C G# G# - G G
From Anaheim to the Middle East
C C G# G# - G G
We are the stories and disciples
C C G# G# - G G
Of the Jesus of suburbia

F F G G C C - G G
Land of make believe

And I don't care

G G Bm Bm
Dearly beloved are you listening?
C C G G D D
I can't remember a word that you were saying
G G Bm Bm
Are we demented or are we disturbed?
C C G G D D
The space that's in between insane and insecure

G G Bm Bm
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
C C G G D D
Am Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
G G Bm Bm
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused

To find what you believe

About this song: Jesus Of Suburbia

In this song, Green Day detail the life and times of a so-called Jesus of Suburbia, the fictional protagonist of American Idiot. His real name is Jimmy, which is revealed in the extended music video when a girl calls him that and in the cut version of the video when he writes "Saint Jimmy" on a bathroom stall. The name "Jesus of Suburbia" may just mean he is the savior of the rebels in suburbia. He is a resident of Jingletown, USA, and the son of a divorced mother.
