Verse 1:
A5
Cigarette fingers ember stain

Incriminating notes on a paper chain
        D5
Did you ever get the 
feeling that you've been cheated?
I wanna bust out
I've not been defeated
           F#5
We're all strong bones they hold no water
Got the whiplash smile this gets harder
D5
Time has wound down and now we've been cached
Because half measures are all half-assed and
A5
how did we ever end up this way
and I don't know I'm in disarray
D5
Cultivating my ignorance--
A5
didn't we have some standards once?
F#5
I hate you and your cowboy boots
though we wanted clever we settled for stupid
D5
Do it always so indiscreet
like a bad boyfriend he's a dirty little cheat


Refrain:
       F#5
It's a shallow vicious state of mind
        D5
like an angry child getting dumped online
    B5
And give me back my photos will you
D5                                 A5 - E5 - D-- x4
  you fucking whore I'll kill you!

(Don't believe) cause pretty soon that
A5         E5           D5
good King George will wake up screaming


Verse 2:
A5
Our soundtrack is a soul less thing
some dull ache replace the sting
A5
Rap stars brag about shooting each other?
Whatever happened to "brother brother"?
F#5
We like thugs when they attack and
We like crime when it's black-on-black and
D5
Isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?
And isn't this more than you can take?

              A5
will pass and then we 
E5   D5
can all get high yeah
 A5     E5 D5
(Don't believe it) Don't believe it
 A5     E5 D5
(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing
 A5     E5 D5
(Don't believe) cause pretty soon that
A5         E5           D5
good King George will wake up screaming

A5 E5 D5
Yeahhh! x4


Verse 3:
A5
  Round up all the big lynch pins
Hope we don't get fooled again!
A5
All sensation makes no sense
you got some insane confidence
        F#5
I can't find myself I can't change the station
in this corporate sell-out hillbilly nation
 D5
Scandalize now with such ease
America give me back my keys
F#5
Sand it blows a soldier squeeze
D5
trigger on fake enemies
      B5
we're all abroad and all alone
     E5
till you come home bring them home


Chorus 3:
 A5     E5 D5

 A5     E5 D5
(Don't believe) cause pretty soon that
A5         E5           D5
good King George will wake up screaming
A5 E5        D5
