E minorEm        A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
The devil is my running mate
E minorEm        A augmentedA  G+G  E minorEm
This here is his favorite state
  A minorAm          G+G A minorAm
He's sorry you folks had to wait
E minorEm         A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
He always likes to show up late


E minorEm        A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
No, that ain't a rainbow, son
E minorEm         A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
It's streetlamps on petroleum
   A minorAm          G+G A minorAm
Let's pull in here and get us some
E minorEm          A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
Supplies are running out now

E minorEm          A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
It ain't the reason for the war
E minorEm            A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
That's meanness, boy, and nothing more
   A minorAm          G+G A minorAm
They tried to do this all before
E minorEm          A augmentedA G+G E minorEm
But Daddy wouldn't let them

And sometimes I can't stand to read my name
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD A minorAm  C/BC/B C majorC       E minorEm
Sometimes I can only hear their voices
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD A minorAm      C/BC/B C majorC  Cadd9Cadd9
Casting me back from where I came

Verse:
E minorEm        A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
The devil is my running mate
E minorEm         A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
Confusion is his favorite state
A minorAm          G+G A minorAm
Surely you folks can relate
E minorEm           A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
I know we've gathered here to hate

E minorEm          A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
It doesn't matter who we blame
E minorEm          A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
As long as you all hear a name
A minorAm           G+G A minorAm
All them bastards look the same
E minorEm       A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
Everyone is guilty

E minorEm      A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
Everybody look away
E minorEm      A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
Look away, look away
A minorAm          G+G A minorAm
It doesn't matter what I say
E minorEm           A augmentedA  G+G E minorEm
It's what I do that's shifty

Chorus:

Sometimes I don't know what we got into
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD A minorAm  C/BC/B C majorC        E minorEm
Sometimes I don't think I know a thing
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD A minorAm  C/BC/B C majorC       E minorEm
Sometimes I can't even see the trees now
 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD  A minorAm  C/BC/B C majorC  C majorC  Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9
For the flames,  for the flames

It wouldn't matter anyway
