β« Intro:
Bm A D
Bm A D
β« Verse 1:
Bm A D
Blueprints for your great escape,
Bm A D G
Stacks in the attic of video games,
Bm A D
Shark in a jar on the sill,
Em A D G
Breathing formaldehyde in through his gills.
G
Ooh, ooh.
β« Verse 2:
Bm A D
Evenings we spent in July,
Bm A D G
Pointing our telescope up to the sky,
Bm A D
And when we'd say our prayers every night,
Em A D G
We'd ask for someone to come down from the lights,
Em G
Take us away, take us away.
β« Chorus:
N.C. D A
When he'd come home, full to the brim,
G D A
You know what I know, there's no talking to him, oo-oo-oooh,
Em A Bm
Dungeons and dragons, ooh,
Em A Bm A D
Dungeons and dragons.
β« Verse 3:
Bm A D
Inside the game, you're okay,
Bm A D G
Longswords and spellcasting keeps all the bad away,
Bm A D
And the monsters look how monsters do,
Em A D G
Not like neighborhood kids with their hands full of rocks for you,
Em A D G
And not like the grownups who should be protecting you.
β« Chorus:
D A
When he'd come home, full to the brim,
G D A
You know what I know, there's no talking to him, oo-oo-oooh,
D A
Oh no, go hide yourself,
G D A
You know there'll be hell to pay, and you're the one paying,
G D A
But soon as you're done, we can go back to playing,
Em A Bm
Dungeons and dragons.
β« Interlude:
D C G A
β« Bridge:
D C
Broken but who knows what for,
G A
Lean in to listen for a key in the door.
D C
Broken but who knows what for,
G A
Lean in to listen for a key in the door.
β« Interlude:
G Em A
G Em A
β« Outro:
D A
Now I come home, full to the brim,
G D A
It's hard to not feel like I'm some part of him, oo-oo-oooh,
D A
Oh no, can't hide from myself,
G D A
I know there's still hell to pay, now I'm the one paying,
G D A
If we ever got done we could go back to playing,
Em A Bm
Dungeons and dragons, ooh,
Em A Bm
Dungeons and dragons.
