Intro: Am Am E Am


   Am (x02210@1)                       
Despair to the point till they provoke
      Am (x02210@1)                               
The punchline before they have told the joke
      Am (x02210@1)                    
The sheer desperation to be seen
  Am (x02210@1)                     
Staring at the television screen

   Am (x02210@1)                             
Despair to the point where they provoke
                          Am (x02210@1)                               
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
Am (x02210@1)                       
Sorry sunshine it doesn't exist
    Am (x02210@1)                   
It wasn't in the top 100 list

               F (133211@1)                     EAnd (022100@1)it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
AmDon't (x02210@1)be surprised when you get bent over,
F (133211@1)         E (022100@1)                         D# (x43121@3)He told ya, that you were gagging for it

    Am (x02210@1)                               
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
    Am (x02210@1)                          
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
 Am (x02210@1)                     
Another variation on a theme
                Am (x02210@1)                    
A tangle on the television and the magazine
      Am (x02210@1)                          
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
      Am (x02210@1)                               
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
                Am (x02210@1)  
That says "we are defenders
    Am (x02210@1)                  Am (x02210@1)            
Of any poseur or professional pretender around"

               F (133211@1)              EWhen (022100@1)did your list replace the twist and turn?
        AmAh (x02210@1)the fist, replaced the kissed-on concern
F (133211@1)                                        EAnd (022100@1)if you're bothered, I don't want your prayers

Save it for the morning after
