Intro:
G minorGm

Verse 1:

    G minorGm
Cut it out

            Eb MajorEb
Your self-inflicted pain

           Bb majorBb
Is getting too routine

            DmDm
The crowds are catching on

            G minorGm
To the self-inflicted song

           E minorEm
Well, here we go again

           Bb majorBb
The art of acting weak

          DmDm
Fall in love to fail

         G minorGm
To boost your CD sales

G minorGm
And that CD sells (Yeah, what a hit)

G minorGm
You've got to repeat it

G minorGm
You gotta' sink to swim

 G minorGm
If at first you don't succeed

     D/AD/A
You gotta recreate your misery

       Bb majorBb
Cause we all know art is hard

   D/C
Young artists have gotta starve

G minorGm
Try, and fail, and try again

  D/AD/A
The comforts of repetition

   Bb majorBb
Keep churning out those hits

     D/AD/A
'Til it's all the same old shit

G minorGm

Verse 2:

          G minorGm
Oh, a second verse!

            Eb MajorEb
Well, color me fatigued

            Bb majorBb
I'm hiding in the leaves

            DmDm
In the CD jacket sleeves

       G minorGm
Tired of entertaining

            Eb MajorEb
Some double-dipped meaning

          Bb majorBb
A augmentedA soft serve analogy

           DmDm
This drunken angry slur

           G minorGm
In thirty-one flavors

G minorGm
You gotta' sink, gotta sink

G minorGm
Gotta sink to swim

G minorGm
Immerse yourself in rejection

G minorGm
Regurgitate some sorry tale

G minorGm
About a boy who sells his love affairs

G minorGm
You gotta' fake, fake, fake the pain

G minorGm
You better make, make, make it sting

G minorGm
You're gonna' break, break, break a leg

G minorGm
When you get on stage

G minorGm
And they scream your name

G minorGm D/AD/A Bb majorBb D/C

("Oh, Cursive is so cool!")


Outro:

("Oh, Cursive is so cool!")

      G minorGm
You gotta' sink, gotta sink

Gotta sink to swim
