D          F#m         E  
Animals on TV singing About some pain that they once felt  
D                F#m                E  
There's no one I disapprove of more or root for more than myself  
D              F#m              E  
I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone  
D            F#m            E  
didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone  
 
      Bm      A      F#m        E  
So we talk about ourselves and hell  
      Bm      A       F#m    E  
To forget the love we never felt  
        Bm   E         A        D    A  
All the old jokes that work so well  
    Bm           E     A       
Universal truth, was a moment's lie  
 
F#           C#  
Don't try to stop us  
E            B  
Don't try to stop us  
D            A  
Don't try to stop us  
    A          C#  
Get out of the way  
 
D             F#m                    E  
Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see  
D                          F#m                    E  
She sees her father in the old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs  
D          F#m        E  
Animals on TV singing about some pain they felt at some point  
D                F#m             E  
I didn't want to tell you it was better, better, better, what's the point?  
 
     Bm          A      F#m       E  
As I watched the velvet drapes appear  
         Bm       A         F#m   E  
And the door was closed for 40 years  
      Bm        E         A        D    A
as we hide what we don't want to hear  
      Bm          E   A        D  
As we hide what's realy, in our ears  
 
[solo] D F#m E x5  
 
      Bm     A      F#m     E  
He is coming from a part of hell  
            Bm        A         F#m       E  
Where, lightning blue eyes don't go down well  
       Bm        A       F#m  E  
He can tell that we're oblivious  
     Bm          A    F#m       E  
It's addiction and routine as well  
 
       Bm        E      A        D    A
Making fools out of the best of us  
       Bm     E      A        D    A
Making robots of the rest of us  
    Bm      E         A        D    A
innocence itself in America today  
      Bm          E    A           
is a crime, just like cornel west might say  
 
F#           C#  
Don't try to stop us  
E            B  
Don't try to stop us  
D            A  
Don't try to stop us  
    A          C#  
Get out of the way
