Intro: Eb Gm  Bb7 Bb C/E C

Verse:
C                   Eaug
My brother's at the store
                   F
A genius when he's bored
                    Fm
he contemplates his consciousness

C                       Eaug
he feels his hands they sweat
                    F
he can't connect it yet
                 Fm
he pools all his resources

Chorus:
       C     G       Am7             F7M
and he calls out the insects he commands
        C        G           F         C
and the waterbugs attack the policeman

My brother's at the morgue
he gets up off the floor
he contemplates his escape

but a guard waits at the door
he feels his powers soar
he pools all his resources

and he calls out the insects he commands
and the waterbugs attack the policeman

Bridge: Eb Gm  Bb7 Bb C/E C

He tries to make it home
he stops to use the phone
he can't remember where the house is

but a cop waits at his car
and he needs his meds once more
he pools all his resources

and he calls out the insects he commands
and the waterbugs attack the policeman

Yeah the waterbugs attack the policeman.
