Old Pine Box chords by They Might Be Giants

Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

D      G/D      D  G/D D
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

You're just too tired to stop

You old pine box
