Intro:

E  A  E  A
         

Verse 1:
       E                               A
Like a tiger, they will chase you down  
             E              A
With words instead of claws  
            E                                 A
They will seduce you 'til you reach the point  
             E                 A
To let yourself get mauled, oh  
            E                                          A
The worse reality gets, the less you wanna hear about it
            E
Solidarity can be difficult
                            A
When you got cool stuff to lose
Pre-Chorus:
E                            A
  I wanna be a 7-foot zombie  
                                        E
The pay is low, but I gotta do somethin'.
I'm at the mall and the song is bumpin'
       A
There goes my future wife in the little red jumpsuit
Chorus:
E
 I'm goin' away to the country
A
 Don't wander off too far
E                     A
 I'm goin' out my mind.
E
 Throwin' all my plans out the window
A
 Don't wanna waste my life
E                               A  E  A
 I'll see you on the other side.

Verse 2:
      E                                   A
I've been thinkin' about what I wanna say  
                E
But I'm an old man now
                           A
At least that's what they tell me anyway
           E                          A
We've been expanding on our greatness  
               E      A
Building future ruins  
               E                                    A
We're buildin' castles from the bones of dead trees  
Molded from the shattered ashes of the Dead Sea
Chorus:
E
  I moved away to the country
A
 I had to change my way
E                        A
 But I kinda miss you now.
E
 Stockbrokers flyin' out the window
A
 I kinda miss that sound
E                       A
 Don't wanna wake up Pa (Haha)

Break:
E                A
(Doo-doo-doo-doo).
E                A
(Doo-doo-doo-doo).
E                        A
(Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
E                            A
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Pre-Chorus:
E
 I can't wait, I'm goin' shoppin'
A
 I'm at the mall and the song is bumpin'
E
 I wanna be a 7-foot starfish
A                                  E  A  E  A
 Above the law, a political puppet.         

Chorus:
E
 I'm goin' back to the city
A
 I'm 'bout to lose my mind
E                    A
 I'm gonna stay alive.
E
 I'm climbin' out through the window
A
 I miss the shops and malls
E                       A
 I'm gonna meet you there
E
 Still throwin' my phone out the window
A
 I'm gonna soothe my soul
E                              A
 Can't wait, I'm goin' shoppin'.

Outro:
E                                                    A  E  A  E
If you're better than me, you don't have to judge me.
