A   F                    D            G
Definitely, this is the wrong place to be
      F         C
There's blood on the futon,
      E        A
There's a kid drinkin' fire.
                    F
Goin' down to the sea,
          D        G
They got people to meet,
     F        C
Shakin' hands with themselves,
            E       F-------->slide to Gflat
Lookin' out for themselves.
 
 C         F                  G
When they ask you for credit,
F            C
Give them a branch.
C          F            G
When they want you to get it,
F              C
Chew on the grass.
       E         F
I know, I know
           D            G
'Cause they  told me to tell you
             F            C
There's nothing to tell you,
     E         A
There's nothing to sell you.
 
 
A   F                    D            G
In the afternoon, riding the scapegoat,
      F         C
Burning equipment, decomposing.
      E        A
Cool off your jets, 
                  F
Take off your sweats,
          D        G
I got a funny feeling
     F        C
They got plastic in the afterlife.
 
 C         F           G
When they want you to cry,
F            C
Leap into the sky.
C          F            G
When they suck your mind,
F              C
Like a pigeon you fly.
       E         F
I know, I know,
           D            G
It's the positive people
             F      C
Running from their time
     E         A
Looking for some feeling.
