Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Wiped out [A]in the city slick
Another sick rock [G]'n' roller
acting like a [D]dick
[G]Needing cash
Burning [Em]through the trash
That [D]piles up in [F#]this [F#m]place
And fills up be[A]hind my [G]empty face
Full of [D]things that [F#]I'm not [Bm]to do[A]

[Verse 2]
You [G]come [D]over with all
of your [Bm]friends[G]
And all their opinions I [Em]don't
want to [D]know[F#][F#m]
And [Em]I'm looking over my
[D]shoulder[E]
Book[G]ing away with [D]nowhere [F]to go

[Verse 3]
I run down [Am]to the corner [D]lot
It's [A#]forty-five past past two
I [F]al most [A]forgot to [Bm]show
Got [A]a date to make with Mr. So-and-so
After [G]After After which
I won't care when [D]you all start
to bitch and [G]moan
About be[Em]ing alone

[Verse 4]
[Em]
You [D]come over with all of
[F#m]your f[A]riends
An[G]d a[D]ll their opinions
I don't want to know
An[C#]d I'[F#]m loo[Bm]king over[A]
[G]my shoulder
[D]Booking [G]away with nowhere to [Em]go

[Verse 5]
Well, [D]can't [F#]you [F#m]just
[Em]leave me alone?
[D]You've [E]already thrown all [G]the
stick[D]s a[Bm]nd s[B]tones
You had [Bm]to send [G]my way
Well, can't you just leave
[D]it at that?
And spare us both the bother
Because [E]I just bounce
back any[G]way
I got nothing that I want to do [A]more
[F#]Than [Bm]make [A]another
sonic "fuck you" to [G]play
Whenever you make my [D]life [G]cliche
[Em]So t[D]o fi[F#m]t in some [A]little b[G]ox with
the [D]all the [C#]labeled [F#]shit[Bm]
[A]You would say [G]to keep
[D]confusio[Bm]n away

[Verse 6]
[G]You come over with all [Em]of your friends
And [D]all [F#m]their opinions
I don't [Em]want to know
And I'm [D]looking over
my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere [E]to go

[Verse 7]
You [G]come over [D]with all [F#m]of your friends
And [Em]all their opinions I d[D]on't want to know
[E]And I'm looking over my shoulder
Book[G]ing away[D]
