Intro: |F |C |Bb |F C |
verse 1
F C
It's late at night it's time to tell you my secrets
Bb
My personality's cut up into pieces
F
Modern society's my one secret weakness
C
I'm out of money and I'm out of my mind
F C
We can't fit in so we just head for the fringes
Bb
Your universe of blue lipstick and syringes
F
Your bedroom doorway with the bugs in the hinges
C
Some things about you that I don't understand at all
[Refrão]
F C
But I, I don't wanna be the bad guy
Bb
I wanna see myself from the outside
Can you hear me now?
Wait can you’
Wait, wait can you hear me now?
F C
Cause I, I have got a lousy connection
Bb
I promise my undying affection
Can you hear me now?
Wait, wait can you’
Wait can you hear me now?
Doo-wop refrain
|F |C |Bb |F C |
verse 2
F C
So I've been working on this letter to congress
Bb
Regarding some things that I think they should address
F
Showed up in court wearing an Indian headdress
C F
Somehow I think maybe the message was lost
C
It seems the clarity we knew is degraded
Bb
A royal flush where all the faces have faded
F
I want the universe, God knows I've been patient
C F
I hear your voice behind a staticky storm
C
The century seems like it's turning out okay
Bb
It's like a game of worldwide karaoke
F
And my rich friends and me just sit and blow smoke rings
C F
There's nothing happening and it's happening too fast
C
Try to interpret but the message is scrambled
Bb
The institutions that I lean on have crumbled
F
I've got the world's ear; I'm all fucking mumbles
C F
I guess I'm just another link in a chain
[Refrão]
F C
But I, I don't wanna be the bad guy
Bb
I wanna see myself from the outside
Can you hear me now?
Wait can you’
Wait, wait can you hear me now?
F C
Cause I, I have got a lousy connection
Bb
I promise my undying affection
Can you hear me now?
Wait, wait can you’
Wait can you hear me now?
