Melon Country chords by The Arrogant Sons Of Bitches

Chords with lyrics

MAD PROPS to aleckillscobra for originally tabbing this song.
I play an acoustic by myself, however, and lyrics are important to me.
Here is a chord sheet.

I can't seem to decide whether to play Am-Ab or A-Abm or just Ab-A
just feel it.


[E MajorE BB A augmentedA AbAb A augmentedA BB]x2

   E MajorE            BB     A augmentedA
Well its OK to want, but its less OK to need
     AbAb                A augmentedA         BB
'Cause I started to get greedy, that's the last thing I would need
    E MajorE                BB        A augmentedA
   AbAb
Getting comfortable with all my friends, finding no need tooooooo explore
               A augmentedA          BB
and now I wanna get away from life ('cause I'm so fucking bored)
E MajorE                 BB         A augmentedA
Did you ever get the feeling your trying put out the sun
   AbAb               A augmentedA      BB
With nothing but a pink and plastic broken water gun
   E MajorE              BB         A augmentedA
Yeah, trying to extinguish all the angst that I don't need inside
 AbAb              A augmentedA       BB
I wanna get away from life and do something before I die.

E MajorE   BB
...Its so monotonous.
AbAb   A augmentedA
...The daily grind:
 F# minorF#m             AbAb A augmentedA
I get up, wake up, go to work or don't, maybe hang out with my friends,
   E MajorE
then bed. Time I spend has become frivolous
AbAb                F# minorF#m
...Writing songs that no one understands
           A augmentedA      E MajorE
but plenty will feel obliged to berate.
         BB
So one day I went nuts.
 A augmentedA       AbAb             A augmentedA
BB      E MajorE
I don't remember exactly how it happened but now my mind doesn't like me
        BB       A augmentedA
Seeking therapy never was the way for me
 AbAb
I got fucked and bounced right back,
A augmentedA        BB       E MajorE
...music was supposed to be a haven.
        BB        A augmentedA
Yeah, but now I wonder was it a waste of time.
AbAb         A augmentedA          BB    E MajorE
Should I institute mind withvimandvigorseekinga future.
       BB       A augmentedA
Yeah, when I figure it all out
   AbAb              A augmentedA       BB
I'll create a flux capacitator and travel back in time.

GO!
       AbAb
I'd leave you behind,
    F# minorF#m                A augmentedA
but my empty closet bookshelf mind finds it so hard to say goodbye

 E MajorE
--What I think I wanna do.
    BB
--A guitar.
--A case of rancid flu.
  F# minorF#m
--A burnt up photograph of you.
  A augmentedA
And soon I will be leaving you

  C# minorC#m       AbAb       A augmentedA       BB
It never made much sense to me to celebrate the rain


The odds are stacked up against us.
It may help but there's still pain.
So as I sit in the cold and wet writing waiting for a sign
My eyes light up with a ray of hope
She'll never again get to be mine.


 C# minorC#m  AbAb     A augmentedA         BB
I died inside now I don't know what to do.

I died and I thought that you would help me.
     C# minorC#m  AbAb     A augmentedA      BB
There's a fire inside when I say this to you.
C# minorC#m  AbAb A augmentedA  BB  E MajorE
You're not mine any more.


Well it's funny how it all works out this time isn't it, you heartless bitch?
(BITCH!)
And don't think I really care if you give me a phone call anymore or even talk to me...
'Cuz if you give me some meaningless obligatory pity-based friendship that doesn't
really mean anything, just like your life and mine, you're the only one who's got a friend
tomorrow in the fucking morning.


E MajorE              BB   A augmentedA
...You lost your chance with selfishness but
  AbAb        A augmentedA    BB
It all comes back to the same problem.
E MajorE        BB     A augmentedA
I am lonely, but don't want you.
        AbAb
Someday you'll feel this too.
       A augmentedA    BB
Your problems I can't solve them.
E MajorE          BB       A augmentedA       AbAb
I'll be gone with a damp piece of paper reading your address.
A augmentedA     BB     E MajorE
Maybe I'll write you someday.

 BB      A augmentedA      AbAb        A augmentedA
BB   E MajorE
I thought I'd call but the mechanisms won't let me submit

(ooohhhh, oooooohhh, ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh)
