G: Oh come on, just one vice
            D

             D
B: Yeah, and all of their peers
    G                         G
And all of their pets and the chandeliers
          D                    D
And their cigarettes, I hadn't smoked in years

CHORUS:
D            D                     D

            G                         G
But for the planets and the stars and everything else and Mars
N.C.                 N.C.
G: It's like paradise, spread out with a butter knife

I can hardly stand the smell of it all

             D                      D
I can hardly stand the sight of it all
             D                      G

I can hardly stand, I can hardly stand
