Verse:
  A augmentedA                  D MajorD
There's a voice from clear across the plains
  A augmentedA               D MajorD
With an accent that you can't mistake
  A augmentedA      E MajorE      D MajorD
But this song, it don't take place in Texas
  BB      D MajorD      A augmentedA
It's in a landlocked type of state
  A augmentedA            D MajorD
And the statics humming me to sleep
  A augmentedA            D MajorD
On the floor, the only way to beat the heat
  A augmentedA      E MajorE      D MajorD
This is why I don't write you letters
  BB      D MajorD      A augmentedA
They never mention these things

Chorus:
  A augmentedA            D MajorD
You can take another hit but (you can try and top it)
  A augmentedA            D MajorD
Try and hold your breath (it's just another hit in)
  A augmentedA            D MajorD
Vain, I've got a grasp on my own isolation
  D MajorD           A augmentedA
An abridged adaptation of it

Verse:
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
The insanity we can't escape
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
Losing brain cells and the Teflon flakes
  A augmentedA      E MajorE     D MajorD
I got my own way of fighting cancer
  BB      D MajorD      A augmentedA
And you ain't one of them
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
Stealing groceries just to stay awake
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
Sleepwalk through the aisles to numb the ache
  A augmentedA      E MajorE     D MajorD
Can you hide it inside your jacket
  BB      D MajorD     A augmentedA
And make a quick escape?

Chorus:
  A augmentedA              D MajorD
You can lie about the price of (keeping it inside it's)
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
Not the greatest gig but (can't you see I'm trying)
  A augmentedA         D MajorD
Not to bum you out, I feel so sick inside
  D MajorD            A augmentedA
I'm just trying to hide out lately

Verse 2:
  BB      D MajorD     A augmentedA
Blurry visions from the karaoke prompter
  BB      D MajorD      A augmentedA
Nodding off to not so distant laughter
  BB           D MajorD      A augmentedA
They're gonna watch you die from starvation
  BB           D MajorD    A augmentedA
And your scars will all have names
