CYANIDE BREATH MINT Tune guitar down one full step A F D G Definitely, this is the wrong place to be F C there's blood on the futon, E A there's a kid drinkin' fire. F Goin' down to the sea, D G they got people to meet, F C shakin' hands with themselves, E F Gb lookin' out for themselves. C F G When they ask you for credit, F C give them a branch. C F G When they want you to get it, F C chew on the grass. E F I know, I know D G 'cause they told me to tell you F C there's nothing to tell you, E A there's nothing to sell you. In the afternoon, riding the scapegoat, burning equipment, decomposing. Cool off your jets, take off your sweats, I got a funny feeling they got plastic in the afterlife. When they want you to cry, leap into the sky. When they suck your mind, like a pigeon you fly. I know, I know, it's the positive people running from their time looking for some feeling. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6.
