Verse
F#m                A                      E             Bm
   Life's like the feeling when you had a point, but forgot it
F#m                 A                   E      Bm
   Had a ticket for my train of thought, but I lost it
F#m               A            E              Bm
   God gave me instructions on how to live my life
F#m               A                   E                     Bm
   But I couldn?t read his handwriting so I burnt them last night

Chorus 
A              E               F#m          D
But I take the beauty of chaos over ugly perfection
     A                     E                     F#m         E
I've woken up on the wrong side of the bed every day since 1987
A                  E                  F#m             D
 I can feel myself slipping away from any chance of redemption
    A                                E                   F#m                D
But that's okay 'cause if it's where Falwell goes then I don't even want any part of heaven

Verse 2
F#m         A             E                 Bm
   A guy on TV offered to save my soul toll free
    F#m                      A                  E                    Bm
But that would have required getting up off the couch so I was too lazy
F#m          A                     E                     Bm
   Instead I wait in the bushes outside of a cop's house holding a twelve gauge
F#m          A             E                    Bm
   God isn't dead but I'll get that Bastard someday!

Chorus
A                        E             F#m               D
And I take the beauty of my chaos over any one else's perfection
     A                           E                     F#m         D
I've still woken up on the wrong side of the bed every day since 1987
A                     E                       F#m                     D
 Nothing scares me as much as the fact that I don't give a shit for redemption
    A                                E                    F#m                 D
But that's okay 'cause if it's where Limbaugh goes then I don't even want any part of heaven
F#m A G# F#m
