bury me in analog

G          C                     G              C
So I got a stack of tapes, Got a name and maybe date,
        G        C     E         D
They're gonna be worth Something someday
G            C              G          C
That is if I pop that song, Just about three minutes long,
G             C                E                D
'Bout how you told me wrong Or make the outrage safe
    G            C      G         C
And if before my time I decide to take my life
    G                 C            E            D 
You could take these treasures And pull them up into light
     G            C         G            C
Make every song a gem, Take every one of them,
   G         C          E          D
Release a collection Of cacophonic hits
C     G        D            E       D
And remix, and remaster, My disasters
C               G         D            E
Our first-track words And never before heard
         D           C               C    
Acoustic takes, it's yours, From the shoebox to the online store
G    C       E      D
Bury me in analog, Pull the reels up
G      C         E          D
Nearly burn that water log, And release it
     C              G
They bought it, you sold it
     D          E
Got nothin' for everyone
     C              G
They bought it, you sold it
     D          E
Got nothin' for everyone
G          C                     G              C
And when it goes out of print, You could then re-issue it
G             C                E                D
Trade off the publishin' rights, To the highest bid
G          C                     G              C
To a queen or king of pop, Sell revolution off,
G             C                E                D
It's an investment, man, I can't make this stuff up
G          C                     G              C
And the brats I leave behind Will party every night
G             C                E                D
And sleep all day 'til five, And live the trust fund life
G          C                     G              C
An they'll call the radio, Complain and curse and moan
G             C                E                D
'Bout how everybody thinks, It's cake to live this way
C     G        D            E       D
And my grave will be showered With the latest in flower power
C     G        D            E       D
And the freaks will drive by my street, And cry and sing and dream
C       C
And listen to the new CD
G    C       E      D
Bury me in analog, Take the suit and
G    C       E      D
You can have it auctioned off, Couple thousand
C           G
They bought it, you sold it
     D          E
Got nothin' for everyone
C           G
They bought it, you sold it
     D          E
Got nothin' for everyone
G    C       E      D
Bury me in analog, Every paper
G    C       E      D
That I ever scribbled on, Is a treasure
C        G             D           E
Chart-topper, best seller Yeah, it'll be yours to take
C        G             D           E
And buy it and sell it, It's all garbage anyway
C        G             D           E      G
The b's and the suckers Have all gone out to play
