(Original Key: B)


Intro:

E                           Em/maj
 I was never cool in school; I'm sure you don't remember me.
    Em/D                               D
And now it's been ten years, I'm still wondering who to be.
        Cmaj7          Cm/maj
And I'd love to mix in circles, cliques,
    G/B         C#m7b5
And social cote-ries, that's me. Hand me my nose ring,
G/D         D
 (Can we be happy?) Show me the mosh pit,
C
 (Can we be happy?)
G   G/A  G/B C   G/B G/A G   Fmaj7
 We can  be  hap-py  un -der-ground.

Interlude:

G  Gaug  G6  Gaug (x2)

Verse 1:

G              Gaug                 G6                G7
 Who's got the looks, who's got the brains, who's got everything?
C7          B7         Em7   D#m7   Dm7
 I got this pain in my heart that's all.
C                   Cm7      F7     G
 (Hey you, with the long and lonely face),
              A#7      C              D7sus4
Yeah, there's gotta be something else.

Verse 2:

                    G              Gaug
And let me tell you something else;
            G6                  G7
There was a girl that passed me by;
           C7              B7                Em7   D#m7 Dm7
She gave a smile but I was shy, and I looked down, so   down.
C                         Cm7    F7    G
 (Don't look down no, no; go, go under-ground).
    A#7           C           C/D
But now there's a place to go.

Bridge 1:

G                     G/F                     G/E
 It's the morning now, it's the evening, it's everything.
D#7         D7
 I click my heels, and I'm there...

Chorus 1:

G              A7           C7   G (n.C)
 (Underground, underground, ooh), everything's heavy underground.

G                       A7                  C7
 You been kicked around? Did life bring you down here?
G    G/A G/B     C   G/B G/A G   Fmaj7  D
 Eve-ry -thing's hea-vy  un -der-ground.

Verse 3:

                       G         Gaug
And we'll be decked in all black,
             G6            G7
Slamming the pit fantastic.
        C7                B7          Em7
Officer Friendly's little boy's got a Mohawk,
       D#m7       Dm7         C
And he knows just where we're coming from.
                  Cm7     F7    G
(It's industrial; work it under-ground).
         A#7        C   C/D
Get down, get down, get down, yeah!

G              A7           C7   G (n.C)
 (Underground, underground, ooh), everything's heavy underground.

G                       A7                  C7
 You been kicked around? Did life bring you down here?
G    G/A G/B     C   G/B G/A G   Fmaj7
 Eve-ry -thing's hea-vy  un -der-ground.

 We can be happy, we can be happy, we can be happy under...

 Be?          Everything's heavy!

G                       A7                  C7
 You been kicked around? Did life bring you down here?
