Verse 1:
C#m
Click on the link for
E
the world’s biggest dick
B
You can smell the rats
A
are dying As the ship
starts to sink Down
C#m
beneath the poor are
E
embraces and tears
B
Up against the bars
A
staring down their years
C#m
You told me to kiss you
E
because we were at the end
B
And I said I wouldn’t miss
A
you because baby, I’d be
C#m
dead And that’s the only way
E
it seems that I could get
B
away Otherwise I’m nothing
A C#m E B A
without you babe oh
Verse 2:
C#m
I got a bad sick stink
E
and I’m bathing in the
B
sink At the YMCA down the
A
street from the clinic
C#m
And there’s a sad old man
E
with a sad saggy ass
B
Just crying under the
A
electric dryer for your hands
C#m
And he’s wet, and he’s dying
E
and the spiders on his nose
B
Seem to indicate that he’s been
A
keeping warm out in the cold
C#m
And he’s a lot like me I guess
E
but we’re somehow not the same
B
They say you really die the last
A
time anybody says your name
Interlude: C#m-E-B-A-C#m-E-B-A--
Chorus 1:
C#m E
This sweet and sticky dream
A B
was nothing that I needed
C#m E
Just demons to believe and
A B
poisons lined up to feed them
A
And the rings inside this
E B
tree are rotten deeper down
A
Goddamn this fucking town
B
It’s restless and I’m drowning
Post Chorus: C#m-E-B-A- x2
Verse 3:
C#m
I got these black rotten teeth
E
Cracking off in bloody beef
B
And I haven’t seen the dentist
A
in at least six thousand weeks
C#m
And I’m high on this TV and
E
these whiskeys and these dreams
B
That I wouldn’t dare to follow
A
because I couldn’t dare succeed
C#m
So I write down shitty words
E
So I sit in titty bars
B
So I text and tweet and look
A
at nudes and beat off in the
C#m
dark Back when I was just a boy
E
These were okay ways to go
B
But baby I got old And
A
somewhere I ditched my soul Oh
Interlude:
C#m E B A
C#m-E-B-A--
Chorus 2:
C#m E
This sweet and sticky dream
A B
was nothing that I needed
C#m E
Just demons to believe and
A B
poisons lined up to feed them
A
And the rings inside this
E B
tree are rotten deeper down
A
Goddamn this fucking town
B--
It’s restless and I’m drowning
C#m E B A
We are the lonely seeds
C#m E B A
Adrift on burning seas
C#m E B
Just pour the goddamn
A C#m E B
round And let’s let
A(hold) A B C#m(hold)
these fuckers drown
