[Verse 1]
There [C]were those same bloodsuckers
in the lobby again
And when they called my name I waved.
I thought they might be my
old [G]friends.

[Verse 2]
[G]
They had the [C]cross in the car.
They had the pig in the pen.
I was in the bathroom doing
my best to ascend.
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Dou[Bm]bting Thomas
had the party [G]supplies.
He said he [C]likes how it looks
When I roll back [G]my eyes

[Verse 4]
[C]The studio sent a car to collect me.
When the driver dropped me off at the lot
He said he'd never forget [G]me.

I had a Pabst and some pemmican
She said man, [G]you're so damn American.

[Verse 9]
Blood on my hands
Ash in my wine
You can see how I get
anxious sometimes.

[Verse 10]
[G]Nails in my hand
Blood in my eyes

[Verse 11]
I feel pretty cool but I know I look fried
[C]All these tall tales and one tiny truth
I saw the towers go down
From up on Newmey[Em]er's roof.

[Verse 12]
[G]Yeah we were frightened.
Yeah we were drinking.

[Verse 13]
It was all so confusing.
[D]Dou[Bm]bting Thomas went
and talked to the cops.
[G]He said thi[C]s sure seems

[Interlude 4]
like an inside job.
[G]

[Verse 14]
[D]No I've never been crucified
I've never [C]suffered or died.
I've never been shot.
But I've been lied to [G]a lot.

[Verse 15]
[D]Hotel bar the game on TV
You're either [C]up on the lights
Or you're out on the street[G]s.
