Lyrics + Progression


(riff)                              
    Bb5, Am, (one down stroke on 
each chord)
I shut the windows and close the 
store,

(riff)                            
I lay down on the bathroom floor, 
                          B5, Am
Everyone I know is a bore

(riff)                     
I'm starting to think that 
                  Bb5, Am
everything stinks

Continues after the ad
(riff)
That I could really use a drink

(riff)                              
Then I got up and hit my head on the
      B5, Am
 sink

B5/C/D  B5/C/D  B5/C/D  B5/C/D  
Father father father father,    
  Am     Cadd9
  Do you call

B5/C/D  B5/C/D  B5/C/D       B5/C/D 
  Am  Cadd9  (picked) Bsus2/A7sus4
Father father father,        Should 
I end it          all

     D*                     
Now, here comes the song I love so 
G11sus5
much

D*                          G11sus5
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up

     D*             G11sus4     
Now, I got nirvana in my head, 
D*                   G11sus5, Cadd9
I'm so glad I'm not dead

(riff)                        Bb5, 
I slam my hand in the car door
Am


(riff)
I scream till I could scream no more

(riff)                            
Bloody and mean and rotten to the 
    Bb5, Am
core

B5/C/D  B5/C/D  B5/C/D  B5/C/D  
Father father father father,    
Bb5,    Am
Do you call

B5/C/D  B5/C/D  B5/C/D  B5/C/D  
Satan Satan Satan,      Should I
 Am  Cadd9 Bsus2,A7sus4
 end it    all

D*    Bb5        C
 You try to get off the ground

D*                            Cadd9
But you always end up coming down

D*              Bb5              
When the sound comes around and goes
C
 in your ears

   B5  /C  /D           G5/A5   
You can do anything you have no 
C
fears

D*               Bb5          
When that sound comes around and 
    C
goes in my ears

   B5   /C   /D     G5/A5   C
I can do anything I have no fears

D*                           
Now, here comes the song I love so 
G11sus5
much

D*                          G11sus5
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up

D*             G11sus4
I got nirvana in my head

D                   G11sus5, 
I'm so glad I'm not dead
Bsus2,A7sus4(x4)


D                       G11sus5
Here comes the song, I love it so 
much


D                           G11sus5
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up

     D             G11sus4
Now, I got nirvana in my head

D                   G11sus5, 
I'm so glad I'm not dead
Bsus2,A7sus4
