Intro Chord E|------| B|--5---| G|--5---| D|--3---| A|------| E|------| Em C F I've been habitually rubbing the sleep from my eyes, F G Em Am I see the rain does not respect state lines, why should you? Em C F F G Am And I've seen dirt dry fires arise by pissing boy fountain statues C Em F Dm F G Em Am And they say electricity, can travel up your piss stream F G Em Am Oh am I too concerned with the burn of scrutiny? F G Em Am Cold chased on run and covered like a horse before the race Dm Am Em Am Will I gain weight in later life? Dm Am Em Am F F C And when will someone swing a scythe against me? Dm Am Em Am Dm Am Em Am F C F Out of every woman on earth, who will I mate with? F Dm F Or will I spit empty threats, until all that's left, is a million zeros G Em Am printed on a roll of ticker-tape? F G Em Am And one last echo of the final tiny wave in my wake? C F F G Em Will all my unused seed collect like mercury, in some kind of afterlife for Am halves? C Dm F G Em Am Should I offer up my lats and pecs as stakes in death? C G Dm Am (Dm F G Am)? Whatever the will of the people shall be, Ohio and me F G Em Am Oh am I too concerned with the burn of scrutiny? F G Em Am Cold chased on run and covered like a horse before the race Dm Am Em Am Will I gain weight in later life? Dm Am Em Am F F C And when will someone swing a scythe against me? Dm Am Em Am Dm Am Em Am F C F Dm Oh I'd rest in peace on a freshly cleaned and steamed plush carpet for sure, F G Em Am In the vacant third floor of a department store C F Or be hung with four nails on the projection wall F G Em Am In an empty convention center banquet hall C F That's right, I'm like everybody else is Dm F G Em Am Ashamed of sleep, I lie when a phone call wakes me F G Em Am But am I too concerned with the burn of scrutiny? F G Em Am Cold chased on run and covered like a horse before the race Dm Am Em Am Will I gain weight in later life? Dm Am Em Am F F C And when will someone swing a scythe against me?
