[F#] [F#m] [E] [B]
[F#] [C#] [D#m] I was watching my [C#] TV one night [B] when they broke in [F#] with a special report [D#m] about some devastating
[C#] earthquake [B] in Peru.
[F#] [D#m] There were 30 [C#],000 crushed to death, [B] even more were [F#] buried alive.
[D#] On the Richter scale [C#] it measured 8 [F#].2.
And I [B] said, God [C#] please answer me [F#] one question.
[B] Why'd they [E] have to [B] interrupt [F#] The Simpsons just for this?
[B] What [F#] a drag, cause I [E] was [B] taping it [F#] and everything, [B] and now I'll have to wait [F#] for the rerun to
[C#] see the part of the show I missed.
[B] Why does [F#] this always happen?
[A] Why does [E] this always [B] happen to me?

[A] I [E] [C#]
[D#m] was driving down [C#] the highway [B] when all the traffic slowed [F#] to a crawl.
[D#m] There was a 12 car [C#] pileup, everybody [B] dead.
[F#] And [D#m] I saw brains and guts [C#] and vital [B] organs splattered [F#] everywhere.
[A#m] As [D#m] well as my friend [C#] Robert's [F#] disembodied head.
Disembodied head.
And I [B] thought, oh [C#] Rob I just [F#] had lunch with him.
[B] Hey wait a minute, [E] he [B] still owes [F#] me money, what a jerk.
[E] [B] Well there's [F#] five bucks that [B] I'm never gonna [F#] see again.
Plus [B] now on top of [F#] everything else, it looks [C#] like I'm gonna be late to work.

[D#m] Oh the other day [C#] my boss [F#] said [B] we were running [F#] low on toner.
[A#m] [D#m] And he told me I [C#] should buy another [B] case.
[F#] [D#m] Well I told him I [B] was busy, [F#] but he still just kept on asking.
[D#] So I turned around [C#] and stabbed him in the [F#] face.
Right in the face.
Oh [B] and wouldn't [C#] you know it, [F#] my knife got stuck.
I [B] guess [E] that's probably [B] [F#] bound to happen now and then.
[E] But [B] I'm [F#] afraid I may [E] have bent [B] the tip [F#] a little.
And [B] I know that blade [F#] will never ever [C#] be quite as sharp again.
Quite as sharp again.
