         A              Asus2       D6      D
Got this feeling that today doesn't like me
       A               Asus2         D6  D
Or the air tastes like flowers and paint
          A            Asus2       D6      D
There's a sink full of bottles and cutlery
        A             Asus2      D6      D
And the car has got a list of complaints

       A           Asus2    D6         D
We can wish on the pop of a light bulb
        A             Asus2      D6     D
Or those photos lying yellow and curled
         A           Asus2        D6      D
Loose in boxes near abandoned electronics
       A              Asus2                  D6  D
In the corners of the basements of the world

      A                            A/D
Got a face full of ominous weather
         A                              A/D
Smirking smile of a high pressure ridge
         A                                   A/D
Got more faults than the state of California
