Emerald City's gone to hell

Since the wizard Blew off his
command!

 Lost children, crocodiles

    Making choices, wicked witches
Cm
  Poppy fields,
or men behind the curtain

  Tiger lilies, ruby slippers

 They're singing, "Happy Birthday"
F#m             G
I  just wish it all were a dream

 It feels much more like Doomsday

  Fuck thirty ninety
A D                 Bm
  Seems like I'm in for a twister
F#m            G
I  don't see a rainbow, do you?
D            Bm
 Turn thirty in the ninety's

[Bridge 2]
Em
  Into my hands now
The ball is passed
Bm
  I want the spoils, but not too fast
    Em
The world is calling
It's now or Neverland
Bm                                  Em
  Why can't I stay a child forever, and
thirty ninety
thirty ninety

   thirty ninety
thirty ninety

 thirty ninety
thirty, thirty ninety
