[Eb] Bored holes through our tongues, we'll sing a song [Ab] about it.
Held our breath for too long, til we're half [Cm] sick about it.
Tell us what we did wrong, and you can blame us [Ab] for it.
Turn the clamp on the thumbs, we'll sew a dial [Eb] about it.
And tell [Gm] us all about [Ab] it
[Cm] We're [Gm]
so down [Ab] about it
[B]
[Db] [E] How about some [B] credit now?
Credit [E] is due for the damage that [B] we've done
[Gb] [E] We have brought [B] upon ourselves another [Db] with this low [Gb] and vicious gun
[E] And although Bradfalls can [Gb] be fun, [Bb] Encore's can be fatal
And then I hear you [Eb] say
Thank God it's fatal, thank God it's fatal
[Cm] Not shy, [Eb] not shy, fatal, not shy, [Ab] fatal
Thank God, [Eb] thank God it's fatal, thank God it's fatal
Not shy, [Gm] not shy, [Cm] fatal, not [Eb] shy, [Ab] fatal
[B]
[Db] [E] Wait just [B] a second
It's not all [E] that bad
Are we not having [B] fun?
[Gb] [E] You're making mountains [B] of handkerchiefs where [Db] the mascara [Gb] always runs
[E] So be careful [Dbm] [E] when [Gb] you're done, you're bound to [Bb] get pushed me down
What, did I just hear you [Eb] say
Thank God it's fatal
And we don't wanna hear the sound of a door
[Gm] [Cm] No, we don't wanna [Ab] hear the sound of a door
[Abm] [Eb]
And we don't wanna hear the sounds that you blow
[Cm]
You know the kind of [Ab] sound you're hanging on a door saying we'll be back, what a [Eb] crap
Now don't you think [Ab] we've had it all before
[Cm] Yeah, don't you think we've [Ab] had it all before
[Abm] [Eb] Lord holds through our tongues to sing a [Ab] song about it
Held our breath for too long till we're [Cm] half sick about it
Tell us what we did wrong and you can blame us for [Ab] it
Turn the clamp on our [B] thumbs or slow down
[Eb] [N]
