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

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

               A    D
You pulled the fire alarm

           A         D
You tried punching a cop

G                        A
You're just too tired to stop

             D     G/D   D   G/D   D
You old pine box

Chorus:

             Em
You old pine box

          A
With your head full of rocks

D                    G
Sharp like a cracked flowerpot

              Em
You old paper hat

         A
On your skull full of bats

D                        G
There's no percentage in that

They called relations but they declined

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

          A        D
Left your car in a field

         A           D
And some questions behind

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

Bridge:

D             Bbadd#11
Over the falls and into the drink

D             Bbadd#11
The barrel breaks and we slowly sink

Electrical courses but they won't shock

You pulled the fire alarm

           A         D
You tried punching a cop

You're just too tired to stop

You old pine box
