C

[Verse 1]
  C                             Em
I won’t be like my father and I broke up with my mother
      F                    C            G      C
I got tired of her kisses, tired of her smothering(s)
                         Em
around my fingers let me punch and fuck shit up the sight of
F                                   C                G
blood and bone and bruises makes me feel like I have woken up

   C                             Em
To all the madness all around me I told you that you can count me
F                                C                G
Out behind the house I’m getting high with just a soda can
  C                            Em
A lighter and some pessimism a dalliance with anarchism
F                           C              G
I think Sally loves me I am plotting our escape from here

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G  F                                     C
   Just because they named me that don’t mean that they can tame me
       F                           G
I will not renew my membership I’m done being an ambassador
    C                                Em
For your lame brained PR campaign to vindicate the family name
F                            C                G
You fear dirty laundry aired I fear livin and dying scared

[Chorus]
C C/B Am
Ohhh
F        G               C C/B Am
  Do not tell me I don’t know
F       G            C C/B Am
  I got voices in my head
F            G               C C/B Am
  They won’t shut up til I’m dead
F         G            C
  But now all I see is red

[Verse 2]
C                                Em
I am drunk on whiskey I’ve heard good things about absinthe
F                                   C              G
Absence makes the heart grow fonder so I’ll go off to the yonder
C                                   Em
Smoke it sniff it snort it drink it screw it punch it kick it lick it
   F                                C               G
If theres a feeling to be had don’t wanna die don’t wanna miss it

    C                          Em
The more you wanna agitate the more I wanna masturbate
F                                     C                 G
Jerks they’re fucking everywhere with purple smiles and perfect hair
C                                     Em
I will steal their girlfriends I will also steal their Subarus
F                              C                 G
Throw my ass in prison I don’t care I’ll run the joint by noon

[Chorus]
C C/B Am
Ohhh
F        G               C C/B Am
  Do not tell me I don’t know
F       G            C C/B Am
  I got voices in my head
F           G                C C/B Am
  They will shut up when I’m dead
F       G               C
  Until then I’m seeing red

[Verse 3]
C                                 Em
You promised me wonders, glories, untold possibilities
   F                                  C              G
If this is all that life is I’ve been sold a fucking lemon tree
    C                                     Em
The bitterness it stings and I’ve stopped trusting you or anyone
    F                                  C          G
And I will burn your face off I’ve the power of a hundred suns

C                                Em
You would send me off to war you don’t care about me and my friends
F                      C             G
We are all expendable, cannon fodder for your freedoms
C                                 Em
Why’d you bring me here am I just supposed to buy until I die
   F                               C            G
To work and work and work and be a tiny man who eats and votes

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G        F                                  C
   Don’t tell me there’s no place for anger here I’ve watched your TV show
  F                            G
Beneath upward mobility you’re seething with hostility
C                           Em
Infinite passive aggression low grade clinical depression
   F                                      C                G
If that’s what life’s supposed to be I’ll say no thank you fuck you please

[Chorus]
C C/B Am
Ohhh
F        G               C C/B Am
  Do not tell me I don’t know
F       G            C C/B Am
  I got voices in my head
F        G                C C/B Am
  I will shut up when I’m dead
F       G               C C/B Am
  Until then I’m seeing red
F         G            C C/B Am
  But now all I see is red
F         G
  But now all I see is

C               Em

              F                  C    G

   C                       Em                    F    G

C               Em

    F                G
The fire is meant to warm you

The fire is meant to warm you
    F                G                                 C
The fire is meant to warm you not burn the whole thing down
