[Intro]
D


[Verse 1]
D
When I was in grade six
        G
Used to hold open the door for a girl
                  D
And she called me a wimp
                            A                           D
She said there just isn't a need to be so fucking polite
            A                               D
I politely agreed with her, I think she was right
        Em            D
It just never entered my mind
        Em                          D               A D
That at twelve, it all came down to choosing sides


[Verse 2]
D
You said that I'd die if I had nothing to do
      G                                  D
Put a drink in my hand, and I'll talk to anything that moves
D
I just refuse to give you what you think will make things right
D
Justifying hate when you've lost the will to fight
E                                    D
Would it be really in touch with the times
       E                          D
To put somebody down for choosing sides?


[Chorus]
             G
And she said show us them teeth
A
Give us them braces
G
Show us that dental work
          A                             E  G
That puts fear in twelve year old faces
D
I could make you feel
               Gmaj7
Even half worthwhile
     D
Just please don't ask me to smile


[Verse 3]
D
And at times, when it still feels right
  G                                       D
I hold open the door for a girl, and I'll back down from a fight
D
And if there just is no need to be so polite
D
At least it helps you sleep easier at night
   E                 D
It just never enters my mind
        E                                 D
That it ever should come down to choosing sides


[Chorus]
             G
And she said show us them teeth
A
Give us them braces
G
Show us that dental work
          A                             E  G
That puts fear in twelve year old faces
        D
I could prove to you
                       G
That I do or don't get high
                  Em        D
Just please don't ask me to smile
