Intro:
Am AmF F
C C GDm

Am AmF F
The King's crossing was the main attraction
C C GDm
Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
Am AmF F
The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
C C GDm
Whiskey works better than beer
Am AmF F
The judge is on vinyl, decisions aren't final
C C GDm
And nobody gets a reprieve
Am AmF F
And every wave is tidal
C C GC
If you hang around you're going to get wet
Am AmF F C C G G Dm Dm
I can't prepare for death any more than I already have

Verse:
Am Am F F
All you can do now is watch the shelves
C C G G C C
The game looks easy, that's why it sells

Chorus:
C C B/Am B/Am
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Am Am F F
Are going to stand and deliver dark instead
C C B/Am B/Am
The method acting that pays my bills
Am Am F F
Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
C C B/Am B/Am
I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
Am Am F F
And I get my check from the trash treasury
C C B/Am B/Am
Because I took my own insides out


Am Am F F
It don't matter cause I have no sex life
C C G G Dm Dm
And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife
Am Am
I've seen the movie

F F C C G G Dm Dm
And I know what happens
Am Am
It's Christmas time
F F
And the needle's on the tree
C C G G Dm Dm
A A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
Am Am
His voice is overwhelming
F F
But his speech is slurred
C C G G C C
And I only understand every other word

CB/Am
Open your parachute and grab your gun
Am AmF F
Float down like an omen, a setting sun
CB/Am
Read the part and return at five
Am AmF F
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
C C
But I don't care if I fuck up
B/Am B/Am
I'm going on a date
Am Am
With a rich white lady
F F
Ain't life great?
CB/Am
Gi'me one good reason not to do it
(Because I love you)
Am AmF F
So do it.

C C G G Dm Dm

Am AmF F

CGDm

Am AmF F
This is the place where time reverses
CGDm
And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Am AmF F
Instruments shine on a silver tray

C C GC
Don't let me get carried away
C C G G C C
Don't let me get carried away
C C G G Dm Dm
Don't let me be carried away
