  Twiddle my thumbs
           Eb
just for a bit
            C#
I'm sick of all the
         Eb
same old shit In

the house with unlocked

a dog in heat
         C#
Barred indoors from 
            Eb
the summer street
                C#
I've locked the doors
          Eb
to my own cell and
              C# <-- Guitar Enters
I've lost the key

Verse 3: Bass
Eb       C#
  I sit around and
          Eb
watch the phone
              Eb
But no one is calling
Eb          C#
  Call me pathetic call
   Eb           C#
me what you will
Eb          C#
  My mother says
         Eb
to get a job
              C#
But she don't like
              Eb
the one she's got
           Eb
When masturbation's 
         Eb
lost its fun you're
        C# <--Guitar Enters
fucking lonely


Chorus 2:
Bb        G#
  Bite my lip and
Eb       Bb
close my eyes
         G#
Take me away
   Eb
to paradise
Bb
  I'm so damn 
G#        Eb
bored I'm going
Bb              G#
blind And loneliness 
    Eb
has to suffice
Bb        G#
  Bite my lip and
Eb       Bb
close my eyes

Slowly slipping 
 G#     Eb
away to paradise
Bb          G#
  Some say "Quit
   Eb      Bb
or I'll go blind" 
                G#
but it's just a myth
