John Grant - Queen of Denmark (Strongroom Sessions) chords
Start Jamming...
[C]
I wanted to change the world, but I could not even change my underwear.
[F]
And when the shit got really, really out of hand, [G] I had it all the way up to my [C] hairline,
which keeps receding like my self-confidence.
As if I ever had any of that stuff anyway.
[F] I hope I didn't destroy your celebration,
[G] or your bad mitzvah birthday party, or your Christmas.
[C] You put me in this cage and threw away the key.
It was this fuss and them shit that did me [F] in.
You tell me that my life is based upon a lie.
[G] I casually mention that I pissed in your coffee.
[C] I hope you know that all I want from you is sex.
To be with someone who looks smashing in athletic wear.
[F] And if your haircut isn't right, you'll be dismissed.
[G] You'll get your walking papers and you can leave now.
[B] [C] I don't know what to want from this world.
I really don't know what to want from this world.
[F] And I don't know what it is you want to want from [G] me.
You really have not to want anything from me at [C] all.
Why don't you take it out on somebody else?
Why don't you pour the shit on somebody [F] else?
With a self [G] weakling coward.
[C]
[F]
[Dm]
[G]
[C] Who's gonna be the one to save me from myself?
You better bring your stun gun and perhaps a crowbar.
[F] You better pack a lunch and get up really early.
[G] And you should probably get down on your knees and pray.
[C] It's really fun to look embarrassed all the time.
Like you could never cut the mustard with the big [F] boys.
I really don't know who the fuck you think you [G] are.
Could I please see your license and your registration?
[B] [C] I don't know what to want from this world.
I really don't know what to want from this world.
[F] And I don't know what it is you want to want from [G] me.
You really have not to want anything from me at all.
[C] Why don't you take it out
[F]
[F#] [G] on somebody else?
[C]
[F]
[Dm]
[G]
[C] So Jesus isn't coming here to pick you up.
You'll still be sitting right here ten years from now.
[F] You're just a sucker but we'll see who gets the last [G] laugh.
Who knows maybe you'll get to be the next queen [C] of Denmark.
[Bm]
