Thirty Whacks Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Thirty licks with a be[F]lt
- same old tricks on myself
[C]And I wonder does eve[Dm]ryone
else live this [Am]way
A succession of test[F]s a triumphant success
[C]Each time I'm still int[Dm]act at the end

[Interlude 1]
of the day
[Am][F][C][Dm][Am][F]
[C][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Am]thirty drops in a gl[F]ass - keep
my temper and [C]pass
With my breath held you [Dm]bastards
you lucked out again!
[Am]Its not really so ba[F]d,
there's still mom there's still
[C]Damage to do before [Dm]they wrest
the axe from my [Am]hands

[Verse 3]
its [F]no mystery: you should obviously [C]go
Be[Dm]fore I break everything
[Am]You're always telling [F]me that
you're dying [C]to know
But you're [Dm]not really

[Interlude 2]
listening
[A][Am][F][C][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]how do I[F] manage to stati[Am]on
myself in harm[E]s way
And only get hit with [F]a ticket for loitering
[Am]That I have no way [E]to pay
- and no strength to argue
My [F]personal demons [Am]can scheme
with pro[E]fessional care
Oh, god, they're after me
[F]If I could shut them out [Am]just for an second
I [E]swear
I could stop this [Am]catastrophe
[Dm][Am][A][Am]

[Interlude 3]
[F][C][Dm][A][Am]
[F][C]
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
[Am]thirty day guarantee[F]
But they can't have meant [C]me
After all I [Dm]was born to a
[Am]childproof world
No sharp corners [F]or glass,
Small objects [C]or plastic bags
Please, these are [Dm]death to a delicate [Am]girl

[Verse 6]
its no [F]mystery - you should
obviously [C]know
[Dm]That I'll destroy everything
[Am]So don't go telling me[F] that
you're dying [C]to know
Cause you'll [Dm]get what you're asking for

[Verse 7]
[F]and I still manage to statio[Am]n my
self [Dm]in harm's [E]way
And only get hit with [F]a ticket for loitering
Stat[Am]ing I came t[Dm]he wrong d[E]ay
[F]Now all the demons [Am]are screaming
their [E]wages aren't fair
I've left a secret kept
[F]If I could shut them up [Am]just
for a second I [E]swear
It'll look like an [Am]accident
[F]I c[C]oul[Dm]d be decent yet[Am][F][C]
[Dm]The magnificent end[Am][F][C]
[Dm]I could be president....
