Left some food wrapped up in a plastic bag, on the kitchen table, way too long.
Sat down to eat next to the bag, I was too tired to throw it out


F#m  E  B
I saw a swarm of fruit flies. I took the bag downstairs.  
F#m  E  B
When I came back, they were still there.
F#m  E  B
Flying jerky patterns like snowflakes in the air.
F#m  E  B
I’m sorry – you’ve got nowhere to go.
F#m  E  B
I’m sorry – you’ve got nowhere to go……

F#m  E  B

F#m  E  B
Left, straight, right, straight – I can’t find a reason.
F#m  E  B
I know I keep going but I can’t find a reason,
F#m  E  B
Nothing looks right, nothing smells right and I can’t land.

F#m  E  B

F#m  E  B
Geometric patterns smearing out of control,
F#m  E  B
Only have enough gas left for the beer can to the bowl.
F#m  E  B
What can I do but go on?
F#m  E  B
What can I do but go on?
F#m  E  B
What can I do but go on?

F#m  E  B

F#m  E  B
On no you make your own mistakes, I cannot bring them back to you.
F#m  E  B
On no you make your own mistakes, I cannot measure up to you.
F#m  E  B
On no you make your own mistakes, I cannot bring them back to you.
F#m  E  B
On no you make your own mistakes, I cannot measure up to you.

F#m  E  B
ooou, oooou
F#m  E  B
Ooou, oooou
