[Verse 1]
Dm
 I did not think I was the one being
 addressed
Dm/C
 In hemorrhoid commercials on the TV
 set
Bbmaj7
 I often stand and stare at nothing 
in the grocery store
Gm                          C    
 Because I do not know what to 
         A
buy to eat any more


[Verse 2]
Dm
 And parapraxis is the order of the 
day
Dm/C
 I never heard that word until 
tonight I have to say
Bbmaj7
 And I'm supposed to believe
     Bbmaj7                      
That there's some guy who’ll take 
          Gm
the pain away


[Pre-Chorus]
C                                
 And there are children who have 
A
cancer
           Dm
And so all bets are off
                 G
Cause I can't compete with that
       Dm
So all bets are off
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
                 G
Cause I can't compete with that


[Chorus]
G                                
 I've got grey tickles and black 
Adim/Eb
pressure
G                             
 And I'd rather lose my arm 
Adim/Eb
inside of a corn thresher
     Bb
Just like Uncle Paul
     Edim7
Just like Uncle Paul
F    Fdim7    A
I, I-I-I-I, I-I


[Verse 3]
Dm
 They won’t be happy til they tear 
down everything
Dm/C
 Which looks remotely cool or is 
older than two weeks
Bbmaj7                            
 You must be kidding me except I 
                     | Gsus4 Gm | C
do know better than to ask
 A |



[Verse 4]
Dm
 I can't believe I missed New York 
during the 70's
Dm/C
 I could have gotten a head start in
 the world of disease
Bbmaj7                            
 I'm sure I would have contracted 
                Gm
every single solitary thing


[Pre-Chorus]
C                                
 And there are children who have 
A
cancer
           Dm
And so all bets are off
                 G
Cause I can't compete with that
       Dm
So all bets are off
                 G
Cause I can't compete with that


[Verse 5] (variation)
Dm            A/D           Dm7
 They say let go let go let go
               Dm6
You must learn to let go
Dm              A/D             Dm7
 If I hear that fucking phrase again
            Dm7
This baby’s gonna blow
Bb                            
 Into a million itsy bitsy tiny 
                   | Gsus4 Gm |
pieces, don’t you know
             C                
Just like my favorite scene in 
 A
Scanners


[Verse 6] (variation)
Dm
 Apparently there was an outcry of 
some sort today
Dm/C
 Which no-one heard incidentally and
 by the way
Bbmaj7
I have not had the strength to leave
 my place in days or weeks
Gsus4           Gm               
 And I'll never understand what’s
                  Gsus4  Gm7
 happening in the Middle East


[Pre-Chorus]
C                                
 And there are children who have 
A
cancer
           Dm
And so all bets are off
                 G
Cause I can't compete with that
       Dm
So all bets are off
                 G
Cause I can't compete with that


[Chorus]
G                                
 I've got grey tickles and black 
Adim/Eb
pressure
G                             
 And I'd rather lose my arm 
Adim/Eb
inside of a corn thresher
     Bb
Just like Uncle Paul
     Edim7
Just like Uncle Paul
F    Fdim7    A
I, I-I-I-I, I-I


[Chorus] (+ coda)
G                                
 I've got grey tickles and black 
Adim/Eb
pressure
G                             
 And I'd rather lose my arm 
Adim/Eb
inside of a corn thresher
     Bb
Just like Uncle Paul
     Edim7
Just like Uncle Paul
F    Fdim7    A
I, I-I-I-I, I-I
