[Verse 1]
  G
When I was 8
       G
I was sure I was growing nerves
Em9
 Like steel in my palm
Em9
 Make a map of what you see
Em9
 Direct pain effectively
G
 I was 8
       G
I was sure I was growing pains
Em9
 Like lead in my feet
Em9
 S.O.S. to my mother
Em9
 Take the hinges off the door
G
 S.O.S. to my mother
G
 Take the hinges off the door


[Chorus]
Em9
Oh, oh, sugar spell it out
     Em9
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
     Em9
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
     G
Like oh
     B5   D5     A5   B5       G

In your gut, in your

S.O.S


[Verse 2]
  G
When I was four plus a ten, I was swinging fists
Em9
 Like nails in a board
Em9
 Pull your hands inside of you
Em9
 Six years 'til I'll be through
G
 I was four plus a ten, I was swinging back
Em9
 Like a race to be sure
Em9
 S.O.S. to my mother
Em9
 Take the hinges off the door
G
 S.O.S. to my mother
G
 Take the hinges off the door


[Chorus]
Em9
Oh, oh, sugar spell it out
     Em9
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
     Em9
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
     G
Like oh

         G
In your gut (S.O.S)
         G
In your gut, in your (S.O.S)
