Start Jamming...
[N] [F]
Oh hello there, hot smile.
You're here messed up in the live-wild.
[Bb] You say I'm sorry, but it's all a waste.
[F] Not a whole meal to live-maste.
[Bb] Now there's nothing left to buy today.
[G] Another line, [C] another car, make up your name.
[Dm] On the go, [F] call zero.
[Bb]
[F] L.A. it calls and I'm the grim star.
[Bb] [Fm] Get on the [F] phone to find out who you are.
[Bb] The happiness was a dying thread.
[F] You say you saw that train around the bend.
[Bb] Amnesty Radiation's white and made.
[G] The engine's screaming [C] on the full weight of your name.
And the gold is [F] on the track.
[Bb] You saw it then, you saw the sign.
[Ab] A drowning sailor [F] in a scud.
[Bb] Her sin was her, but now it's you.
[C] A stock of animals who's there to tell you what.
A stock of animals who's there to tell you what to [Bb]
do.
[G] [F]
[Fm] So now you [F] whimper like a fish in a jar.
You don't quite make what you are.
[Bb]
But your fears, they are like grass and sand.
[F]
They speak to no one, and you know the band.
[Bb] Now there's nothing left to fight and [G] gain.
Well, there's not [Cm] another car, make [C] up your name.
[F] On the go, call zero.
