E G B/F# A B Here's the lyrics to the verse and when to play the above chords:
E Go on and ring my neck
G Like when a rag gets wet
B/F# A little discipline
A For my pet genius
E My head is like lettuce
G Go on, dig your thumbs in.
B I cannot stop giving
B I'm thirtysomething.
E Sense of security
G Like pockets jingling
B/F# Midlife cri A sis
E Suck ingenuity
G Down through the family
B Tree... B
Here's the rest of the verse lyrics:
What an inheritance
The salt and the kleenex
Morbid self-attention
Bending my pinky back
A little discipline
A donor by habit
A little discipline
Rent an opinion.
Sense of security
Holding blunt instrument
Midlife crisis.
I'm a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee.
Okay, here's what I guess you'd call the "chorus", just use any old form of
the chords shown (whatever suits ya'):
E5 You're perfect yes it's true D5
But with A5 out me E5 you're only you D5 (you're A5 only you)
Your E5 menstruating heart D5
A5 E (palm mute)
It ain't bleeding enough for two.
Then, for the part that goes "It's a midlife...crisis____" just play the
progression from the verse (way above).
Then after that weird, descending synth effects part (there's really no
way to tab that out OR play it on a guitar...so skip it), play the
following (this is also keyboard arranged for guitar) and sing the "It's a
midlife...crisis_____" three times.
After that, it's back to the chorus (with the first verse sung in the
background) until the fade-out. I'm pretty sure about all this stuff.
I'm trying to do it as best as I can from memory. I may have flubbed a
little as far as "sequence of events", so if there seems to be some part
missing, email me.
But like I said above, if you're looking for a cool "guitar-y" song, this
ain't it...(it still manages to be a kickass song, though!)
Good luck!
