_ _ _ _ _ _ _
My head is pounding, [A] I can't stop the pounding, [B] I think it is [G] going to _ explode
_ _ [D] And kill _ everybody [A] who's in close _ proximity [B] to the place I call my home
_ _ [D] _ And they'll make a moving [E] made-for-TV movie for [G] a lifetime all about my life
_ _ _ [D] That ends with an _ [A] epitaph, one that [F#] will make you laugh, that says,
Great mom, okay wife
[G] _ _ [D] And it'll be funny to the people who know [G] me, who know if my body's not burned _ _
[D] My soul will spend an [A] eternity _ in misery, [Bm] _ tethered and bound to [G] this earth _ _
So [D] I'm not a dick or a [A] stick in the mud, [Bm] always ruining things for [G] my friends _
[E] _ I _ mustn't forget [D] when I see the sunset [Bm] that tomorrow it will [G] rise again
_ So [D] I tattoo _ instructions on my [Bm] _ ass _
_ _ _ _ That [D] say, don't [A] ever put this [Bm] body in a _ casket _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Burn it and put the ashes _ [Bm] in a basket _ _
_ And _ _ throw [A]
them in [Bm] the _ Puget _ _ Sound
_ I _ _
[D] don't ever want to be _ [Bm] _ _ underground _ _
Oh no, oh _ _ _ no
_ _ Oh _
[E] _ _ no
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm wearing size 13 _ basketball shoes [D] and _ lavender _ fishnets
[G] I'm freaked out and fucked up [D] and I'm standing alone in an alley with you
I'm wanting to show you [Bm] a cure for your hiccups, [D] but instead I close [Bm] my _ eyes
_ [D] The needles are numbered so I'm writing you letters and I _ _ cannot _ disguise
_ _ The fact that I'm nervous [G] when we are together [D] and so I _ _ [G] _
_ fantasize
That [D] the nights will get shorter [G] and the days will get better
[E] I feel a kick _ [F#] _ inside and sigh [D]
if this [A] is a girl [F#] I'm naming her Heather
[E] She'll look just like you, [F#] but her hair will be feathered
[D] She'll say how you died [Bm] before you [G] ever met her _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Her hair will [D] be _ _ _ feathered
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ My head is [E] pounding, I can't stop the pounding, [G] I think it is going to explode
_ _ _ [D] There are pluses and _ minuses to _ _ sinusitis, [Em] like _ [Bm] sometimes I get [G] to go [B] _ home
_ _ [D] But mostly it hurts so bad I think I'm dying
I'm crying, [G] I just blew my nose and now I feel like crying
And the [D] dreams I have are all of my past lives
And [Bm] the seizures would _ [G] paralyze me in the night
And [D] I wake up _ clutching [E] my teddy bear tight
And [Em] I'm drooling and trying to [G] turn on the light
_ All [D] I can do is hold fast and sit tight
But [E] what if [Bm] they forget, [E]
cause you know they just might
So I tattoo _ instructions on [Bm] my _ ass _ _ _ _ _
_ That say don't [D] ever put this body [Bm] in a _ casket
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Burn it and put the ashes [Bm] _
in a _ basket _ _ _
_ _ [D] And throw them in the [Bm] _ Puget _ _ Sound
_ _ _ _ [D] I don't [A] ever _ [Bm] want to be _ _ _ _ underground _ _
_ No, _ _ _ _ [G] no _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Oh no
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
