I [Bm] think I'm [A] the one who [G] [Em] asked for a [A] boycott, it [G] died down.
It's [Bm] long last, [Am] it's crashed, it's [G] collapsed.
Two [E]
masses [A] bulking up, intervene to [G] my war.
[E] [D] Break the [E] mattress [D] off the floor.
[E] [D] Walk the cramps [A] off of Gandhi's [G] rear.
[E] [D] And the ad hoc's [E] in, [D] I'm the fact you're [E] dead again.
[D] Underneath the [A] foul lines, [Em] chicken shit.
Over the head, are the icy [G] eyes that contain all the [Bm] reasons.
It's a [A] luscious mix [G] of words [Em] and tricks that [D] let us spread.
[A] And you know we [G] should fall.
[D] Perhaps [A] I'm trapped, [G] I'm where we [Em] start.
[D] Another hole, [A] there's some holes [G] now.
[E] [D] Hold your glass [E] up, [D] hold it in.
[E] [D] Never be straight, the way [A] you always [G] know it is.
[E] One [D] day I'll be [Em] wondering how, I [D] guess the world just runs [E] in and out.
Never [D] got home, [A] where we got it, in [Em] this zone.
This is way beyond, my remote concern to be a [B] condescending hole.
[A] No, [G] these [C#] rotten [F#m] wounds [G] won't quit.

You'll [G] [F#m] [B] definitely [F#m]
get [G] rich.
