***************  VERSE 1  ***************

[A]                                 [A]                       
    Try not to think so much about      the truly staggering...

 [E]          [E7]                               [F#m] 
amount       of oil     that it takes to make a record.
       [B]
All the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining...

  [E]                                    [E7]
the high gloss.         The tape and the gear.

[A]                                 [A]                       
    Try not to become too consumed      with what's a criminal... 

  [E]           [E7]                               [F#m] 
volume        of oil     that it takes to paint a portrait.

      [B]
The acrylic, the varnish, aluminum tubes filled...   

     [E]                           [E7]
with latex.        The solvents and dye.  Ohh oh ohh.

[F#m]                        [E]    [E7]  [E/C#] [E/C]  [E]
Lets just call this what it is. 

   [A]             [A/F]            [F#m]   
The jealous side of mankind's death wish.        

[F#m7]                    [B7]
      When it's my time to go?

          [E]                [E7]             [A]
I'm gonna leave behind things that won't decompose.

[A]                               [A]                       
    Try not to dwell so much upon     how it won't be so very...

 [E]             [E7]                                  [F#m] 
long       from now     that that they laugh at us for selling
           [B]
a bunch of 15 year olds made from dinosaur bones...

          [E]                           [E7]
singing 'oh yeah'         again and again       right up til...


***************  CHORUS 2  ***************

   [F#m]                               [E]    [E7]  [E/C#] [E/C]  [E]
the end.   Lets just call this what it is. 

    [A]            [A/F]            [F#m]   
The jealous side of mankind's death wish.        

[F#m7]                    [B7]
      When it's my time to go?

I'm gonna leave behind things that won't decompose.   Ohh oh ohh.

[F#m]                        [E]    [E7]  [E/C#] [E/C]  [E]
I'll just call this what it is. 

   [A]        [A/F]           [F#m]   
A vanity gone wild with a crisis.        

[F#m7]                        [B7]
      One day this all will repeat.

            [E]                 [E7]           [A]
I sure hope they make something useful out of me.
