Tabber: Ryan Romero
Verse 1
(Play C Continuously)
The sun came up with no conclusion
It's flowers sleeping in their beds
The cities cometary's humming
I'm wide-awake, it's morning
I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
My parents have they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses
Chorus
I [Em]read the body count out of the [Am]paper
And [F]now it's [G]written all over my [C]face
[Em]No one ever plans to sleep out in [Am]the gutter
[F]Sometimes that's just the [G]most comfortable[C] place
Verse 2
So I'm drinking, breathing, writing, singing
Everyday up on the clock
My mind races with all my longings
But cant keep up with what I got
I hope I don't sound too ungrateful
What history gave modern man
The telephone to talk to strangers
Machine guns and the camera lens
Chorus
So when you're [Em]asked to fight a war that's over[Am] nothing
It's [F]best to join the [G]side that's gonna [C]win
And[Em] no one's sure how all of this got[Am] started
But we're gonna make them [F]goddam certain [G]how its gonna[C] end
Oh ya we will, [C]oh ya we will!
Verse 3/Outro
(C Continuously)
Well I could have been a famous singer
If I had someone else's voice
But failure's always sounded better
Lets fuck it up boys, make some noise!
The sun came up with no conclusion
It's flowers sleeping in their beds
The cities cometary's humming
I'm wide-awake, it's morning
