[E] .
[A] .
I [E] got a paper cut in Norway, [A].
when all the weight started pulling [E] me down.
.
Smelling like a bottle all wet and [B] gone.
Ain't no way to tell.
.
[E] But soon as I chopped it all off, [A] it just grew back thick and [E] round.
I keep sucking on the thread, hoping [B] it all might come [E] unraveled.
I keep trying to throw it all away, [Abm] but it comes right [E] back around.
.
They come backstage and on my bus, [A] pretending to be [E] my friend.
Shaking hands, hungry and stans, [B] all wearing the same old grin.
But [E] none of them bother knocking.
[A] They all just come [E] on in, asking me what all my songs mean.
[B] Wondering if they're all [E] about him.
[B] Mercury must [A] be my choking [E] pin.
.
[B] But at least it's not [A] just hanging out, [E] sharing with my friends.
[A] Oh, the hell's paid with full [E] intention.
.
If it's not you, it'll be you.
It's gonna [B] be a divine .
[E] invention.

[E] [A] [E] Living the dream makes a man wanna scream.
[A] Light a match and burn it [E] all down.
Head back home to the mountains, [B] far away from all the folks.
[D] But [E] all the journalists and sycophants building their brands.
And [A] all the traveling trophies [E] and award show stands.
And all the haters wishing they was in my [B] band.
Sorry boys, my [A] bus is [E] plumb full.
[B] Mercury must be [A] my choking [E] pin.

But [A] another room, let alone [E] me.
.
[A] The world is almost [Gbm] over.
And I'll be home soon.
[A] And it's all been done a few [B] times [E] anyway.
