• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Verse 1:
Bb                     F
Look at all the cross-pollination
Gm               F    Eb
Going on in your backyard
    Gm                 F
And look at all the fr-fr-frustration
    Bb                           F         Gm
You conscience is scarred, your vision is charred
    Eb           F         Bb
But in the end, life ain't hard
Bb                     F
But look at all the fertilization
    Gm                        F  Eb
Of grass so green and soil so brown
     Gm                 F
Then look at all the colonization
     Bb                    F          Gm
A genius from a clown, a city from a town
    Eb               F         Bb
And who is going to follow you down?

Chorus:
 Bb                    Gm       Eb
Bones and the smiling mackerel grin
 Bb                      Gm           Eb
They want you to lose, we want you to win
   Gm                     Eb
We go where you are, they go where you've been
        Bb                      F          Gm
They're pushing you out, we're pulling you in
 Eb               F     Bb
And soon we'll be at it again


Verse 2:
Bb                    F
Look at all the deregulation
 Gm                       F  Eb
Changing every day of the week
    Gm                      F
And look at all the dull conversation
    Bb                            F              Gm
The bourgeois verse the chic and you're afraid to speak
    Eb               F   Bb
For fear of sounding obsolete
    Bb               F
And look at all the renumeration
 Gm                      F    Eb
Dress up in a brilliant disguise
    Gm                F
And look at all the ionization
   Bb                  F                   Gm
A positive surprise is locked inside your eyes
Eb                     F        Bb
And your innocence insures my demise


Chorus:
Bb                      Gm      Eb
Bones and the smiling mackerel grin
Bb                         Gm         Eb
They want you to lose, we want you to win
  Gm                      Eb
We go where you are, and not where you've been
        Bb                      F           Gm
They're pushing you out, we're pulling you in
Eb                 F       Bb
And sure, we'll be at it again


Verse 3:
Bb                  F
Look at my foolish fixation
Gm                  F      Eb
So concerned with nomenclature
 Gm              F
Inevitable disintegration
    Bb                         F           Gm
No time to find the cure, have I lost my allure?
  Eb           F        Bb
I guess we'll never be sure


Chorus:

Bones and the smiling mackerel grin
 Bb                      Gm           Eb
They want you to lose, we want you to win
   Gm                     Eb
We go where you are, they go where you've been
        Bb                      F          Gm
They're pushing you out, we're pulling you in
 Eb               F     Bb
And soon we'll be at it again …
