[Intro]
F#
A D
F#
A D
[Verse 1]
F#
My miss phonia brought the faders up, now
A D
she's a military grade in Dolby surround
F#
around 5.1, Cue the barking from the baritone
A D
conductor in the pit for the car honk duet
F#
Half-tone harmony from the sewer
A D
Rebel youth choir belt phrases even newer
F#
Dump truck man drops the beat with trash cans,
A D
call 911! We got therapy demands.
F#
Philharmonic got a first chair car crash
A D
Pan the falsetto to smash the glass
F#
It's a drive-by lullaby that couldn't get worse
A D
A melody abandoned in the key of New York
[Chorus 1]
Dbm D
Where nothing comes after, I'm a pass-time streamer, hanging from the rafters
B Dbm D F#
I don't get out, I don't have fun, Livin' like a captive of the sun
[Verse 2]
F#
So I gotta put my shades on
F#
Riding through the city as I gets my escalade on
F#
Flipping down the streets that my reputation was made on
F#
King of the city, the mayor finna put a parade on
F#
Drop the confetti from off the rooftop
A D
Well I come down candy and let my roof drop
F#
I got a baddie shotgun in a tube top
A D
With some Daisy Dukes on and some tube socks, listening to Tupac
F#
You ain't know I do rock records, I do it all
A D
I got my hands in some cookie jars, you ain't knew at all
F#
I took a chance and threw caution up in the wind
A D
Cuz I got nothing to lose but got something to win
[Chorus 2]
Dbm
We throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks
D
It's gon' end up being a bomb or being the shit
B
They said the fix was in, guess we'll know when it's done
Dbm D F#
Until then we'll just be captives of the sun
F#
[Verse 3]
F#
I sightread the chart, clap the rocks into sand
A D
A 12-pass van on a pot-hold bandstand
F#
got an oil-can hangover by default
A D
and trucks pave the roads with amphetamine salt.
F#
Skull shakin' cadence of the J train rolls
A D
Rhythm of defeat, repeating like a pulse
F#
Marching on and static, lyrics shout a retort
A D
to the melody abandoned in the key of New York
[Chorus 1]
Dbm D
Where nothing comes after. I'm a pass-time streamer, hanging from the rafters.
B Dbm D F#
I don't get out. I don't have fun. Living like a captive of the sun.
F#
