Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]My head is pounding
I [G]can't stop the pounding
I [Am]think it is going to ex[F]plode
And [C]kill everybody who's [G]in close proximity
[Am]to the place I call my h[F]ome
And [C]they'll make a moving
made- [G]for- TV movie
for [Am]Lifetime all about my [F]life
That [C]ends with an epitaph
[G]one that will make you laugh
[Am]That says "great mom, okay [F]wife"
And [C]it'll be funny to the [G]people who know me
Who [Am]know if my body's not [F]burned
My [C]soul will spend an eter[G]nity in misery
[Am]Tethered and bound to this [F]earth
So [C]I'm not a dick or a [G]stick in the mud
always [Am]ruining things for my [F]friends
I [C]mustn't forget when I [G]see the sun set
that to[Am]morrow it will rise a[F]gain

[Chorus 1]
So I [C]tattoo in[G]structions on [Am]my ass
That say [C]"Don't ever [G]put this bod[Am]y in a casket
[C]Burn it and [G]put the ash[Am]es in a basket
And [C]throw them [G]in the [Am]Puget Sound
I [C]don't ever [G]want to [Am]be underground"
Oh, [F]no, oh

[Bridge 1]
[C]I'm wearing [G]size thirteen [Am]basketball [F]shoes
And [C]laugh at your [G]fishnets
I'm [Am]freaked out and [F]fucked up
And I'm [C]standing a[G]lone
in an [Am]alley with [F]you
[C]Wanting to [G]show you a [Am]cure for your [F]hiccups
But in[C]stead I [G]close my [Am]eyes[F]
The [C]needles are [G]numbered
so I'm [Am]writing you [F]letters
And [C]I cann[G]ot disg[Am]uise[F]
The [C]fact that I'm [G]nervous
when [Am]we are toge[F]ther
And [C]so I [G]fanta[Am]size[F]
That the [C]nights will get [G]shorter
and the [Am]days will get [F]better
I [C]feel a [G]kick in[Am]side and [F]sigh
If [C]this is a [G]girl I'm [Am]naming her [F]Heather
She'll [C]look just like [G]you
but her [Am]hair will be [F]feathered
She'll [C]say how you [G]died
before [Am]you ever [F]met [F]her
[F]Her[F] hair will be

[Verse 2]
[C]My head is pounding
I [G]can't stop the pounding
I [Am]think it is going to ex[F]plode
There [C]are plus and minuses [G]to sinusitis
Like [Am]sometimes I get to go [F]home
But [C]mostly it hurts so bad [G]I think I'm dying
I [Am]just blew my nose
and now [F]I feel like crying
And [C]the dreams I have are all [G]of my past lives
And the [Am]seizures would paralyze
[F]me in the night
And I [C]wake up clutching my [G]teddy bear tight
and I'm [Am]drooling and trying to [F]turn on the light
[C]All I can do is hold [G]fast and sit tight
But what [Am]if they forget
'cause you [F]know they just might

[Chorus 2]
So I [C]tattoo in[G]structions on [Am]my ass
That say [C]"Don't ever [G]put this bod[Am]y in a casket
[C]Burn it and [G]put the ash[Am]es in a basket
And [C]throw them [G]in the [Am]Puget Sound
I [C]don't ever [G]want to [Am]be underground"
Oh, [F]no, oh
