Over The Cliff - Old 97's

Over The Cliff Cifra por Old 97's

A fun, fast song off of their 1995 record "Wreck Your Life" with some obvious punk influences. I used this live performance for reference. Rhett fumbles the C-D-Em-C part several times, playing G instead of Em, but by about halfway through the song he starts playing it right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ-3IIQjUsE.

I knew there had to be a better way

 

I wouldn't hide if you thought I was worth it

You'd smack me down when I misbehave

C D Em C

But everybody knows that I've got flunkies here in tow

C D G

To clean up all the messes that I've made

 

[Chorus]

I'm going over the cliff

C D G

I'm going over the cliff

C D G

Yeah I'm going over the cliff

Forgive me or forget me everybody

G D

Well I guess I always had this honest streak

C D Em G

Yeah I'm sick of all the yawning, the bitching, and the bawling

C D G

I'm sick of feeling powerless and weak

 

Please don't call me cool just call me "ASSHOLE!"

Well I'm going over the cliff
