[Verse 1]

Hm             D
Waking up dead inside of my head 
E                   G
Will never never do there is no med 
Hm     D       E G
No medicine to take

Hm                   D
I've had a chance to be insane 
E               G
Asylum from the falling rain 
Hm         D         E  G
I've had a chance to break

Hm               D
It's so bad it's got to be good 
E                  G             
Mysterious girl misunderstood 
Hm             D       E G
Dressed like a wedding cake

Hm                D
Any other day and I might play 
E                   G              
A funeral march for Bonnie Brae 
Hm          D     E   E E E2 E2
Why try and run away

[Chorus:] 

G            D
Slow cheetah come 
  E       E2-E-E2-E
Before my forest 
G             D      E       E2-E-E2-E
Looks like it's on today 

G            D
Slow cheetah come 
  E       E2-E-E2-E
It's so euphoric 
G          D         E       E2-E-E2-E
No matter what they say 

[Verse 2]

Hm
I know a girl 
D
She worked in a store 
E
She knew not what 
G
Her life was for 
Hm         D         E   G
She barely knew her name 

Hm
They tried to tell her 
D
She would never be 
E
As happy as the girl 
G
In the magazine 
Hm            D         E E E E2 E2
She bought it with her pay 

[Chorus 1x] 

[Verse 3]

Hm
Everyone has
D 
So much to say 
E
They talk talk talk 
G
Their lives away 
Hm         D   E  G
Don't even hesitate

Hm
Walking on down 
D
To the burial ground 
E
It's a very old dance 
G
With a merry old sound 
Hm              D     E   E E E2 E2
Looks like it's on today

[Chorus 2x]
