*Playing this song in standard tuning sounds just fine too*

A                G                 E              F
Lately I've been thinking less and less about the world
                  A          G                    E   F
the flies all die -- singing songs and dead birds fly-ing.
A            G                 E             F
Nothing ever seems so wrong, I never seem to make sense.
     A      E       A        (G)*
I am trying -- I am trying.

A            G              E                    F   
               A
Maybe I just laugh to insti-gate the things I've done and I feel normal.
       G                E              F
I must find the rest of pieces left behind.
         A                   G        E                 F
Father's Daughters, seems so binding. Domestic Violence shy
           A      E         A
and she is crying -- she is crying.

A                 C              D                F  
    A   E     A
You've brought me into this dark dismal blackened place, You awful me.

SOLO:  A  G  E  F (x3)
       A  E  A  (G)*

A        G                  E        F               
  A
Hold her hands so she can't move and make her shut her mouth.
       G                E                F
Make a mess of my life, restrain for control.
         A            G          E                 F
Kill her slow Disassemble one by one the ties that bind.
A           E        A
He is dying -- He is dying.

A                 C              D                F  
    A   E     A

PERFORMANCE NOTES:
*the (G) is just a ghost root note and is completely optional
**If the chord change isn't on the first syllable of a lyric, it's because the chord 
changes of the middle of the word and change your rhythm accordingly. It's not so much the 
rhythm of the strum but the way the word is spoken.
