intro: 1x G - D - C

G

Blame it on the Tetons.

D C

Yeah, I need a scapegoat now.

G

No my dog won't bite you,

D

Though it had the right to.

C

You oughta give her credit

G

Cuz she knows I would've let it happen.

D - C

G

Blame it on the weekends.

D C

God I need a cola now.

G

Oh we mumble loudly,

D

Wear our blame so proudly.

C

Wear our blank expressions,

Trying to look interesting.

G

Blame it all on me cuz

D C

God I need a cold one now.

G

All them eager actors

D

Gladly taking credit

C

for the lines created

...C...

By the people tucked away from

G

sight / Is it a window

D

from the room we're bound to.

C

If you need a way out,

Would you please just let me know how?

G

Blame it on the web but

D C

the spider is your problem now.

G

Language is the liquid

D

That we're all dissolved in.

C

Great for solving problems

...C...

After it creates a problem.

G

Blame it on the Tetons,

D C

God I need a scapegoat now.

humming over 2 verses of G - D - C

G C

Everyone's a building burning

Am C

With no one to put the fire out.

G C

Standing at the window looking out,

Am C

Waiting for time to burn us down.

G C

Everyone's an ocean drowning

Am C

With no one really to show how.

G C

They might get a little better air

Am C

If they turned themselves into a cloud.

G - D - C x3

end on C
