xOkay this is a good song, one of my favourites but there are a lot of chords and
we all know what Incubus are like for switching to tonic keys and having odd
changes so bear with it, I'm pretty sure this is near accurate. You can play the
chords either as power chords or as the full barre, for example; C#5 or C#m.

A decade ago,
C#sus2
I never thought I would be,
Dsus2
at twenty-three, on the verge of
G#m
spontaneous combustion. -Woe-is-me.-
Em7
But I guess that it comes
Ebm
with the territory,
Eadd9
An ominous landscape of
C#sus2
never-ending calamity.
Dsus2
I need you to hear,
G#m
I need you to see
Em7
that I have had all I can take and
Ebm
exploding seems like an imminent possibility
Asus2
to me
[Chorus]
C#5
So pardon me while I burst
B5
into flames.
Asus2
I've had enough of the world
F#5 E5 F#5 E5
and its people's mindless games.
C#5 B5
So pardon me while I burn
Asus2
and rise above the flame.
F#5 E5 F#5 E5
Pardon me, pardon me...
C#5 B5
I'll never be the same!

Not two days ago,
C#sus2
I was having a look
in a book
Dsus2
and I saw a picture of a guy
G#m
fried up above his knee.
Em7
I said, "I can relate,"
Ebm
cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
Eadd9
as a welcome vacation from
C#sus2
the burdens of
Dsus2
the planet Earth.
G#m
like gravity, hypocrisy,
Em7
and the perils of being in 3-D...
Ebm
but thinking so much differently.
[Chorus]
C#5
So pardon me while I burst
B5
into flames.
Asus2
I've had enough of the world
F#5 E5 F#5 E5
and its people's mindless games.
C#5 B5
So pardon me while I burn
Asus2
and rise above the flame.
F#5 E5 F#5 E5
Pardon me, pardon me...
C#5 B5
I'll never be the same!
C#5 Asus2
Never be the same, yeah...
C#5 Asus2 C#5 Asus2 E5(2)
Pardon me, while I burst into flames...
C#5 E5(7) B5(7) Esus4 C#5 Asus2
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
[Chorus]
C#5
So pardon me while I burst
B5
into flames.
Asus2
I've had enough of the world
F#5 E5 F#5 E5
and its people's mindless games.
C#5 B5
So pardon me while I burn
Asus2
and rise above the flame.
F#5 E5 F#5 E5
Pardon me, pardon me...
C#5
I'll never be the same!
B5
Never be the same, yeahh!!
