Intro:
I was never cool in school,
Em/maj
I'm sure you don't remember me.
And now it's been ten years,
I'm still wondering who to be.
Em Em/maj
And I'd love to mix in circles, cliques,
And social cote-ries, that's me. Hand me my nose ring,
(Can we be happy?) Show me the mosh pit,
(Can we be happy?)
We can be hap-py un -der-ground.
Interlude:
(x2)
Verse 1:
Who's got the looks,
Who's got the brains, who's got everything?
I got this pain in my heart that's all.
(Hey you, with the long and lonely face).
Yeah, there's gotta be something else.
Verse 2:
And let me tell you something else;
There was a girl that passed me by;
She gave a smile but I was shy,
And I looked down, so down.
(Don't look down no, no; go, go under-ground).
But now there's a place to go.
Bridge 1:
It's the morning now,
It's the evening, it's everything.
I click my heels, and I'm there...
Chorus 1:
(Underground, underground, ooh),
G (n.C)
Everything's heavy underground.
You been kicked around?
Did life bring you down here?
Eve-ry -thing's hea-vy un -der-ground.
Verse 3:
And we'll be decked in all black,
Slamming the pit fantastic.
Officer Friendly's little boy's got a Mohawk,
And he knows just where we're coming from.
(It's industrial; work it under-ground).
Get down, get down, get down, yeah!
Chorus 2:
(Underground, underground, ooh),
G (n.C)
Everything's heavy underground.
You been kicked around?
Did life bring you down here?
Eve-ry -thing's hea-vy un -der-ground.
We can be happy, we can be happy, we can be happy under...
Break:
Ground.
Oh, where can, oh, where can, oh, where can we...
Chorus 3:
Be?
G (n.C)
Everything's heavy!)
You been kicked around?
Did life bring you down here?
Eve-ry -thing's hea-vy un -der-ground.
Coda:
Everything's heavy under... ground.
Everything's heavy under...
Everything's heavy under... ground.
Everything's heavy under...
Coda: (in 6/8 time)

Everything heavy under-ground,
Everything heavy under-ground,
Everything heavy under-ground.
