Verse 1:
            G
Sometimes I like to lay in
bed and pretend like I died
             D/F#
Sometimes I stay like that
until the day becomes night
       G
Then I crank myself up
and I set loose to fly
       C
Like a bunch of restless
             D
bats finally coming to life
        G
And the places are the same
but the faces are new
       D/F#
And my own face is somewhere
between yellow and blue
        Em
And I'm pressing my luck
just to see if I can
        C
And I'm betting my soul
        D           D
and I'm losing again


Chorus 1:
          G            D
Cuz these pigs seem to be
            C
getting the best of me
              G
These fucking pigs seem to
D              C
be getting the best of me
              Em
These fucking pigs seem to
G              D       C
be getting the best of me
     Em         G
With so much to love
              D
sometimes you wind up
  C(hold)   G D   C
diseased Whoa  Whoa
   G D   C    G D   C Am D(hold)
Whoa  Whoa Whoa  Whoa    Oh!


Verse 2:
        G
Now I'm back in the sun
and my fingers are scraping
      D/F#
And I can't work the clasp
I can't stop the shaking
        G
And I'm making that face
that only ever happens
          C
When your life takes a
             D
shit in your pants and
                    G
keeps crapping What happened
to all of the "Oh you'll
                D/F#
be fines?" What happened
to having plenty of time?
     Em
What happened to my
fucking body and mind?
  C
I poisoned them dry
         D
but I'd still like to try


Refrain:
           C
To wake up tomorrow and to
Em          D           C
feel myself grow in the sun
           C            Em
To finally face all the work
        D           C
I still need to get done
        Em           D
To quit being such a pussy
        C              Em
And run back into the storm
         D           C(hold)
where my demons come from


Chorus 2:

            C
getting the best of me
              G
These fucking pigs seem to
D              C
be getting the best of me
