Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

D MajorD       G/DG/D      D MajorD  G/DG/D  D MajorD
They tried the handcuffs but they won't lock

D MajorD       G/DG/D   D MajorD  G/DG/D  D MajorD
Electrical courses but they won't shock

        A augmentedA  D MajorD
You pulled the fire alarm

      A augmentedA     D MajorD
You tried punching a cop

G+G            A augmentedA
You're just too tired to stop

       D MajorD   G/DG/D  D MajorD  G/DG/D  D MajorD
You old pine box

Chorus:

       E minorEm
You old pine box

     A augmentedA
With your head full of rocks

D MajorD          G+G
Sharp like a cracked flowerpot

       E minorEm
You old paper hat

     A augmentedA
On your skull full of bats

D MajorD            G+G
There's no percentage in that

Verse 2:

D MajorD      G/DG/D      D MajorD  G/DG/D D MajorD
They called relations but they declined

D MajorD        G/DG/D     D MajorD   G/DG/D D MajorD
They called the fan club but they'd resigned

     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Left your car in a field

     A augmentedA      D MajorD
And some questions behind

   G+G               A augmentedA
Your mom thinks you're out of your mind

Bridge:

D MajorD       Bbadd#11
Over the falls and into the drink

D MajorD       Bbadd#11
The barrel breaks and we slowly sink

Verse 3:

D MajorD       G/DG/D      D MajorD  G/DG/D  D MajorD
They tried the handcuffs but they won't lock

D MajorD       G/DG/D   D MajorD  G/DG/D  D MajorD
Electrical courses but they won't shock

        A augmentedA  D MajorD
You pulled the fire alarm

      A augmentedA     D MajorD
You tried punching a cop

G+G            A augmentedA
You're just too tired to stop

       D MajorD   G/DG/D  D MajorD  G/DG/D  D MajorD
You old pine box
       D MajorD   G/DG/D  D MajorD  G/DG/D  D MajorD
