Capo: 6th Fret
[INTRO]
[Em] [C]
[G] [D] [Am]
The[Em] King's crossing was the[C] main attraction
[G]Dominoes [D]falling in a [Am]chain reaction
The[Em] scraping subject[C] ruled by fear told me
[G]Whiskey works [D]better than [Am]beer
The[Em] judge is on vinyl,[C] decisions aren't final
And [G]nobody [D]gets a rep[Am]rieve
And[Em] every wave is[C] tidal
If you hang around you're[G] going [D]to get [G]wet
[Em] [C] [G]
[Am]I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
Al[Em]l you can do now is watch the [C]shelves
The [G]game looks [D]easy, that's [G]why it sells
[CHORUS]
[G] [F#]/[Em]
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Are goi[Em]ng to stand and deliver [C]dark instead
[G] [F#]/[Em]
The method acting that pays my bills
Keeps the[Em] fat man feeding in [C]Beverly Hills
[G] [F#]/[Em]
I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
And I [Em]get my check from the [C]trash treasury
[G] [F#]/[Em]
Because I took my own insides out
[Em]It don't matter cause I [C]have no sex life
And [G]all I wanna do [D]now is [Am]inject my ex-wife
[Em]I've seen the movie
And I k[C]now what happens [G] [D] [Am]
It's[Em] Christmas time
And the [C]needle's on the tree
A s[G]kinny San[D]ta is bringing [Am]something to me
H[Em]is voice is overwhelming
But his [C]speech is slurred
And I [G]only underst[D]and every [G]other word
[G] [F#]/[Em]
Open your parachute and grab your gun
F[Em]loat down like an omen, a s[C]etting sun
[G] [F#]/[Em]
Read the part and return at five
It's a [Em]hell of a role if you can[C] keep it alive
But I don't[G] care if I fuck up
[F#]/[Em]
I'm going on a date
With a[Em] rich white lady
Ai[C]n't life great'
[G] [F#]/[Em]
Gi'me one good reason not to do it
(Because I love you)
S[Em]o do it. [C]
[G] [D] [Am]
[Em] [C]
[G] [D] [Am]
T[Em]his is the place where t[C]ime reverses
And [G]dead men t[D]alk to all the [Am]pretty nurses
I[Em]nstruments shine on a si[C]lver tray
Don't [G]let me get [D]carried aw[G]ay
Don't [G]let me get [D]carried aw[G]ay
Don't [G]let me be c[D]arried aw[Am]ay
