Chorus:
  E5             G5 E5
I think I need a tailor
A5 E5 A5 G5     E5            G5  E5
           This happens to me all the time
    E5             G5  E5     A5 E5 A5 G5

Verse 3:
  E5         G5 E5
A motorcycle rolling

         And a percentage of the profit too
 E5          G5 E5      A5  E5 A5 G5
Another holy psycho trolling
   B5             D5   B5       D5 A5 D5 E5
So tell me how to stop this fool


Chorus:
E5           G5     E5
Up until you figure it out
A5 E5 A5 G5    E5            G5   E5
           You never will be able to trust me
      E5              G5    E5         A5          E5   A5 G5
These suckers want to twist and shout, they're fighting it out
   B5               D5  B5        D5        A5  D5  E5  E5
Until they find the key to leave, they will not bust  me

     So tell me everything you know
        E5                 A5        D5
I'm not trying to alarm you  or harm you
             E5                            D5 C
But is there something that I need to know?


Interlude:
E5
  You're gonna find out
You're gonna find out
You're gonna find out, you're gonna find out
Everything you need to give for free to be a sellout

      E5              G5    E5   A5       E5 A5 G5
She's acting like she owned you, dethroned   you
    B5              D5    B5       D5      A5 D5  E5    E5
But nothing in this world is free, at least   not for me
