Tuned a half-step down; all chords relative to standard tuning.
There are no lyrics available online yet for the final chorus so I had to guess;
if anyone has lyric corrections, please share!
[Intro]
D Bm A G Bm A (x2)
[Verse]
D Bm A
Well I've been sitting in the back seat of this car for half an hour
G Bm A
and I'm wondering if any of this is real
D Bm A
Trouble is I ate a pound of psychedelic mushrooms,
G Bm A
and now I'm trying to decide if I should feel
D
weird about the fact that both
Bm A
my friends who went and drove me
G Bm A
to the Burger King can tell that I'm fucked up?
D Bm A
Because their alligator faces leering at me from the front seat
G Bm A
have that look of frightened deer-in-headlights locked
G Bm A G Bm
Hissing "Calm down that bitter taste's the drug and no you won't drown on spit
A G Bm A
So cool it, swallow, we'll be downtown now in just a couple minutes
G A
We don't have to talk until you're fine"
[Interlude]
D Bm A G Bm A (x2)
[Verse]
D Bm
So now I'm sitting on the curb, amazed by traffic
A G Bm A
All the cars have rockets bolted to their roofs and reptile men
D Bm A
Driving wonder if the lights that spin atop these ambulances
G Bm A
always looked as cool as they have been?
G
And no one can tell me "Calm down"
Bm A
That bitter taste's their stares
G Bm
And no, you won't drown on spit
A G
So cool it, swallow, take a breath,
Bm A
sit tight for just a single minute
G A
We can talk again when they get lost
[Chorus]
D A
Then we'll sail as high as we wanna go
Bm
None of you can tell us no
G
Or tell us that we'll fail
D
Cause we're too far gone to care
A
And time goes way too slow
Bm
Let's pick up the pace and go
G
Double-time this beat and wail
G
No one rests until we're there
[Bridge]
G
Well I guess we should worry a bit
Bm A D
Cause they'll lock us up if we can't learn to cool it
G
We're having a party instead
Bm A D
Who cares if it's only inside of our heads?
G Bm A G
We've got mutants, and angels, and demons, and rockets, and killers
Bm A
Obnoxious? Fuck you man, I've got this
G Bm A G
Let's stay on this trip, tell the world it don't know anything
A
Glad you're here to hang out
[Chorus]
D A
So we'll sail as high as we wanna go
Bm
None of you can tell us no
G
Or tell us that we'll fail
D
Cause we're too far gone to care
Bm A G
And time moves way too slow
Bm A D
Let's pick up the pace and go
Bm A G
Double-time this beat and wail
Bm A D
No one rests until we're there
Bm A G
In a place we won't have to care
Bm A D
About what we don't know
Bm A G
In a world that tells you "go"
Bm A
Don't have a pill? Pull up a chair.
