R.E.M. - Circus Envy (Live at The Olympia) chords
Start Jamming...
That's right, it is a holiday in the United States.
There was a movie that came out some years ago called Independence Day, where I think they blew up the world.
And I'm thrilled to announce that that hasn't happened yet today, at the hands of the current [D] administration in the U.S. It's fun.
[A] [G]
[A] I'm getting tired of [G] your dodgeball circus [A] act.
Put pepper in my [G] coffee, I forgot to pour.
On [D] command.
Here comes that awful feeling again.
Make way for monster jealousy.
Strongman kickstand.
My breath is un-spiritable.
I spelled your name with O-D-O-Z.
Messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up.
[A] I've got my telescope.
[G] Get in the haystack.
[A] I'm tired of [G] your dodgeball circus [A] act.
Put pepper in my [G] coffee, I forgot to pour.
On [D] command.
[C] [D] You're [F] mean, [G] mean, [D] mean.
And she [F] [A] sees, sees [C] me.
[D] [F] [G] [A]
[Em] [D]
[Em] [B] [D] If I were you, I'd really run from me.
I really, really wish that I were you.
When I get loose, I climb a tree and drop a low.
On your head, this monster in me makes me wrench.
Messed it, messed it up.
[A] I've got my telescope.
[G]
Get in the haystack.
[A] I am jealous [G] of your dodgeball circus [A] act.
Put pepper in my [G] coffee, I forgot to pour.
[A] Put pepper in my [G] coffee, I forgot to pour.
[Bm] On command.
[F] [A] [C] [D] You're [F] mean, [G] mean, [A] mean.
[Bm] And she [F] [A] sees, sees [C] me.
[D] [F]
[G] [A] Can you [D] smell [F] jealousy?
[A] [C] Can you [F] smell jealousy?
[G] [A] [D] [F] [A] Jealousy.
[C] [B] [F]
[G] Jealousy.
[A] [D]
[E] Thank you.
