Melon Country chords by The Arrogant Sons Of Bitches

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 B A Ab A B]x2

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

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

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

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



   C#m             Ab             A             B
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#m    Ab         A                  B
I died inside now I don't know what to do.

I died and I thought that you would help me.
          C#m    Ab          A           B
There's a fire inside when I say this to you.
C#m    Ab  A    B   E
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                            B      A
...You lost your chance with selfishness but
   Ab                A        B
It all comes back to the same problem.
E                B          A
I am lonely, but don't want you.
               Ab
Someday you'll feel this too.
              A       B
Your problems I can't solve them.
E                   B             A             Ab
I'll be gone with a damp piece of paper reading your address.
A          B         E
Maybe I'll write you someday.

  B           A            Ab               A
B     E
I thought I'd call but the mechanisms won't let me submit

(ooohhhh, oooooohhh, ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh)
