[Verse 1]
[Am]The king's crossing was the main[F] attraction
[C]Dominos [G]falling in a [Dm]chain reaction
The [Am]scraping subject [F]ruled by fear
Told me [C]whiskey works [G]better than [Dm]beer
The [Am]judge is on vinyl, de[F]cisions are final
And [C]nobody [G]gets a [Dm]reprieve
And [Am]every wave is [F]tidal If you hang around
You're [C]going [G]to get [C]wet
[Am]I can't prepare for death any mo[F]re
than I already [C]have[G][Dm]
[Am]All you can do now is [F]watch the shells
The [C]game looks [G]easy, that's [C]why it [F]sells

[Chorus 1]
[C]Frustrated fireworks in[G]side your head
Are going to [Am]stand and deliver [F]talk instead
The [C]method acting that [G]pays my bills
Keeps the [Am]fat man feeding in B[F]everly Hills
I got a [C]heavy metal mouth, it [G]hurls obscenity
And I [Am]get my check from the [F]trash treasury
Because I [C]took my own insides [G]out

[Verse 2]
[Am]It don't matter 'cause I have [F]no sex life
[C]All I want to do [G]now is in[Dm]ject my ex-wife
I've [Am]seen the movie
And I [F]know what [C]happens[G][Dm]
It's [Am]Christmas time
And the need[F]les on the tree
A [C]skinny San[G]ta is bringing [Dm]something to me
His [Am]voice is overwhelming
But his [F]speech is slurred
And I [C]only under[G]stand every [C]other [F]word

[Chorus 2]
[C]Open your parachute and [G]grab your gun
Falling [Am]down like an omen, a [F]setting sun
[C]Read the part and re[G]turn at five
It's a [Am]hell of a role if you can [F]keep it alive
But I don't [C]care if I fuck up
I'm [G]going on a date with a [Am]rich wife lady
[F]Ain't life great?
[C]Give me one good reason not to [G]do it

[Solo 1]
So do it
[Am][F][C][G][Dm]
[Am][F][C][G][Dm]

[Outro 1]
[Am]This is the place where [F]time reverses
And [C]dead men [G]talk to all the [Dm]pretty nurses
[Am]Instruments shine on a [F]silver tray
Don't [C]let me get [G]carried a[C]way
Don't let me get [G]carried a[C]way
Don't let me be [G]carried a[D]way
[Fade out]
