_ [F] Nor clinging to your [C] stupid, [G] frivolous things.
[F] I've thrown them [G] away to go up [A] and go play.
[F] In the trash [E] where your record [A] box sings. _ _ _ _ _
Leave, [F] brother, I [C] cannot see [G] you. _
[F] It's not in my [C] interest to [G] care anymore.
[F] I [C] hate you, I [G] swear.
[A] Malone and all the scares.
