[Verse 1]
G C
St. Teresa with her dog on the beach
D
She's been divorced for years
C G
And drunk for weeks
C
Power-walking from the ghosts she sees in her sleep
D
It's gay sons and younger blondes
C G
With big perfect teeth
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
When her little dog in the sand
G C
Throws up its paws and says, "Hey man...
F D E Am
Gotta get yourself a grip
D E Am
Lay off the leash a bit
D E Am G D
And keep in mind we're talking to the dog again...
[Chorus]
C Em Am G B
Why you gotta go and take it all so bad, oh mama?
C Em Am G B
Like every wave in the bay is just breaking across your back
C Em Am G B
Can't we turn it up just a little more? Yes sir
C D G C
You know this Apocalypse, it doesn't have to be a bore...
[Verse 2]
G C
Down to the marina, gonna steal us a boat
F
Name it something sick as hell
C G
Like 'Beerly Afloat'
G C
Fill it up with tequila, porn, and dynamite
D
Push the throttle down, tear it off
C G
Put the nose into the night
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
If everything comes from nothing
G C
Then back to nothing it must go
C D
So if either way we burn out, girl
G C
Let's give em all a show
[Chorus]
C Em Am G B
Why you gotta go and take it all so bad, oh mama?
C Em Am G B
Like every wave in the bay is just breaking across your back
C Em Am G B
Can't we turn it up just a little more? Yes sir
C D G C
You know this Apocalypse, it doesn't have to be a bore...
[Bridge]
Am G C
Wasting away atop a pile of money
Am G C
We could be burning like the pros
Am G C
Ya can't buy love and you can't spend worry
Am G C Am
Life's a blur, and then you go, go!
[Chorus]
C Em Am G B
Why you gotta go and take it all so bad, oh mama?
C Em Am G B
Like every wave in the bay is just breaking across your back
C Em Am G B
Can't we turn it up just a little more? Yes sir
C D G C
You know this Apocalypse, it doesn't have to be a bore...
C Am G C
Get in or get on out, it just don't matter anymore
