Eels - Rotten World Blues
From the album Useless Trinkets
[Intro]
D G F C x2
[Verse]
D G F C
Well I went walking out yesterday
D G F C
A man was carrying a sign that says
D G F C
"The world is gonna end tomorrow"
F C
Hey buddy, got a nickel I can borrow?
[Chorus]
G F C G
This rotten world's gonna chew you up
G F C D
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
G Bm F C
The sooner you recognize this simple fact
G F C G
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack
G F C G
[Verse]
D G F C
Ol' Miss Headtrip, she's gettin' down
D G F C
You don't see her much walking 'round town
D G F C
Well you could say that she needs a little lovin'
F C
Looking for a light with her head in the oven
[Chorus]
G F C G
This rotten world's gonna chew you up
G F C D
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
G Bm F C
The sooner you recognize this simple fact
G F C G
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

[Verse]
D G F C
Miss Kovaleva, she's lookin' good
D G F C
Walkin' her ass through the neighbourhood
D G F C
She knows something that you don't know
F C
Something she learned about a long time ago
[Chorus]
G F C G
This rotten world's gonna chew you up
G F C D
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
G Bm F C
The sooner you recognize this simple fact
G F C G
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack
G F C G
This rotten world's gonna chew you up
G F C G
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
