Dar Williams - Buzzer


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: A minorAm

                          C majorC
Sitting with the Number Eight platter at the restaurant
                    A minorAm
Four twenty-nine for almost anything I want

Add it up, it's cheaper than the stuff I make myself
         E7E7        A minorAm
I get by, I never needed anybody's help
         E minorEm            C majorC
And I tore out an ad and they told me that I
                        A minorAm
Would press the buzzer, would press the buzzer
        E minorEm            C majorC
At the graduate lab, they were doing some tests
                     A minorAm
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer__

CHORUS:
                DmDm
Ride the circle off of the highway
    G+G       C majorC
Spiral into the driveway
           Bb majorBb
In the maze of old prefabs
          FF   E7E7   A minorAm
They'll be waiting at the la-a-e-ab


                           C majorC
I don't know how everybody makes it through the daily drill
                     A minorAm
Paint the nails, walk the dog, pay every bill

I'm feeling sorry for this guy that I press to shock
             E7E7        A minorAm
He gets the answers wrong, I have to up the watts
          E minorEm            C majorC
And he begged me to stop, but they told me to go
                      A minorAm
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer
         E minorEm          C majorC
So get out of my head, just give me my line
                     A minorAm
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer__

CHORUS:
                DmDm
Ride the circle off of the highway
    G+G       C majorC
Spiral into the driveway
           Bb majorBb
In the maze of old prefabs
          FF   E7E7   A minorAm
They'll be waiting at the la-a-e-ab


                       C majorC
They called me back to the lab to discuss the test
                       A minorAm
I put my earrings on, found my heels, wore a dress

Right away I knew, it was like I'd failed a quiz
           E7E7         A minorAm
The man said ?Do you know what a fascist is??
               E minorEm             C majorC
I said, ?Yeah, it's when you do things you're not proud of,
                      A minorAm
But you're scraping by, taking orders from above.?

I get it now, I'm the face, I'm the cause of war
            E7E7         A minorAm
We don't have to blame white-coated men anymore


          E minorEm               C majorC
When I knew it was wrong, I played it just like a game
                      A minorAm
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer
          E minorEm           C majorC
Here's your seventy bucks, now everything's changed
                      B minorBm
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer


        ** Key Change - Up 2 Semitones **

              F# minorF#m            D MajorD
But tell me where are your stocks, would you do this again?
           B minorBm
I press the buzzer
             F# minorF#m             D MajorD
And tell me who made your clothes, was it children or men?
           B minorBm
I press the buzzer


CHORUS:
                E minorEm
Ride the circle off of the highway
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
Spiral into the driveway
           C majorC
In the maze of old prefabs
          Eb MajorEb   A7A7   DmDm
They'll be waiting at the la-a-e-ab
