Lyrics + Progression

(riff) Bb5, Am, (one down stroke on each chord)

I shut the windows and close the store,

(riff) B5, Am

I lay down on the bathroom floor, Everyone I know is a bore

(riff) Bb5, Am

I'm starting to think that everything stinks

(riff)

That I could really use a drink

(riff) B5, Am

Then I got up and hit my head on the sink

B5/C/D B5/C/D B5/C/D B5/C/D Am Cadd9

Father father father father, Do you call

B5/C/D B5/C/D B5/C/D B5/C/D Am Cadd9 (picked) Bsus2/A7sus4

Father father father, Should I end it all

D* G11sus5

Now, here comes the song I love so much

D* G11sus5

Makes me wanna go fuck shit up

D* G11sus4 D* G11sus5, Cadd9

Now, I got nirvana in my head, I'm so glad I'm not dead

(riff) Bb5, Am

I slam my hand in the car door

(riff)

I scream till I could scream no more

(riff) Bb5, Am

Bloody and mean and rotten to the core

B5/C/D B5/C/D B5/C/D B5/C/D Bb5, Am

Father father father father, Do you call

B5/C/D B5/C/D B5/C/D B5/C/D Am Cadd9 Bsus2,A7sus4

Satan Satan Satan, Should I end it all

D* Bb5 C

You try to get off the ground

D* Cadd9

But you always end up coming down

D* Bb5 C

When the sound comes around and goes in your ears

B5 /C /D G5/A5 C

You can do anything you have no fears

D* Bb5 C

When that sound comes around and goes in my ears

B5 /C /D G5/A5 C

I can do anything I have no fears

D* G11sus5

Now, here comes the song I love so much

D* G11sus5

Makes me wanna go fuck shit up

D* G11sus4

I got nirvana in my head

D G11sus5, Bsus2,A7sus4(x4)

I'm so glad I'm not dead

D G11sus5

Here comes the song, I love it so much

D G11sus5

Makes me wanna go fuck shit up

D G11sus4

Now, I got nirvana in my head

D G11sus5, Bsus2,A7sus4

I'm so glad I'm not dead

Outro (strum lightly)

(riff) Bb5, Am, A, G, D
