INTRO
E D# C# B E F# E/F# (E slide to F#)
VERSE 1:
E
Well I can see my teenage father standing
F#
straight on a desolate corner
G#
In the shadow of tenticled towers
A
by the red light of America
E F#
I imagine how his mother felt
G# E/F#
When she heard that her husband was dying
E F#
And the underground heroes of the tarmack
G#
shooting smack were blowing up worlds and
A
damned out loud
E F# E/F#
Hey can you tell me how does it feel?
CHORUS 1
E B
Tell me, can you imagine for a second
E/F# B
Doing anything that you don't have to
E B
Well that's what I'm accustomed to
E/F#
So hooray for me ... and fuck you
(Repeat Intro)
VERSE 2:
When I slept with stony faces on the riverbank
My angeldevil reveler shook me desperately in dying
I don't exactly want to apologize for anything
And now, we're all mad and stranded in secret rooms
with Roman candles
On an endless graveyard train
Chorus 2
Yeah tell me, can you imagine for a second
doing anything just 'cos you want to
Well that's just what I do so hooray for me...
and fuck you
(Repeat Intro)
E Eb
Yeah I was dreaming through the howzlife
C# B E
yawning car black on my mind(?) She told
F#
me mad and meaningless as ever
E Eb C#
And a song came on my radio like a cemetery
B E F#
rhyme for a million crying corpses in their
E/F#
tragedy of respectable existence
Solo (Over chorus chords)
Chorus 3
Yeah tell me, can you imagine for a second
trying half the things you ever wanted to
Well that's just what I do so hooray for me...
Oh yeah
CHORUS 4
I'm not respectable, never sensible
maybe incredible, so damn irrascible
I like the things I do so hooray for me...
and fuck you
