Sara spelled without an ‘h’ was getting bored

On a Peavey amp from nineteen eighty four

While Zak without a ‘c’ tried out some new guitars
Em A
Playing Sara with no ‘h’s favorite song
D Gm7/B A
La la laaa, la la laaa, la la laaa

Often Sara would have spells where she lost time
D D/C Gm7/B Gm7/Bb
She saw the future she heard voices from inside

The kind of voices she would soon learn to deny
Em A
Because at home they got her slapped

La la laaa, la la laaa, la la laaa
D Gm7/B A
La la laaa, la la laaa, la la laaa

Zak called his Dad, about lay away plans
A D G
Sara told the friendly salesman that
E
You’ll all die in your cars

And why’s it gotta be dark
A
And you’re all workin’ in a submarine

D D/C Gm7/B Gm7/Bb
She saw the light she saw a pale English face
D D/C Gm7/B Gm7/Bb
Some strange machines repeating beats and thumping bass
Em A
Pitchers of pills that put you in a loving trance
Em A
That make it possible for all white boys to dance
Em A
And when Zak finished Sara’s song, Sara clapped.
