xx013x\r\nG#sus2 4663xx (or other variant)[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n[tab][ch]B7/F#[/ch] [ch]G#[/ch]\r\nThe comedy of man starts like this[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nOur brains are way too big for our mothers' hips[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd so Nature, she divines this alternative[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G#[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nWe emerged half-formed and hope that whoever greets us on the other end[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nIs kind enough to fill us in[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd, babies, that's pretty much how it's been ever since[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]B7[/ch] [ch]G#7[/ch]\r\nNow the miracle of birth leaves a few issues to address[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D(b5)[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nLike, say, that half of us are periodically iron deficient[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nSo somebody's got to go kill something while I look after the kids[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G#[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nI'd do it myself, but what, are you going to get this thing its milk?[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nHe says as soon as he gets back from the hunt, we can switch[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nIt's hard not to fall in love with something so helpless[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nLadies, I hope we don't end up regretting this[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nComedy, now that's what I call pure comedy[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]\r\nJust waiting until the part where they start to believe[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G#sus2[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]\r\nThey're at the center of everything[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch]\r\nAnd some all-powerful being endowed this horror show with meaning[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nOh, their religions are the best[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThey worship themselves yet they're totally obsessed[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]G#sus2[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]\r\nWith risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks, these unbelievable outfits[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd they get terribly upset[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]B[/ch]\r\nWhen you question their sacred texts[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]B7/F#[/ch]\r\nWritten by woman-hating epileptics[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Bridge]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nTheir languages just serve to confuse them[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nTheir confusion somehow makes them more sure[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThey build fortunes poisoning their offspring[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd hand out prizes when someone patents the cure[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nWhere did they find these goons they elected to rule them?[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nWhat makes these clowns they idolize so remarkable?[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThese mammals are hell-bent on fashioning new gods[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nSo they can go on being godless animals[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Instrumental]\r\n[ch]G#/A[/ch] [ch]G#/B#[/ch]

no choice but to believe[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]\r\nTheir horizons that just forever recede[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G#sus2[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]B[/ch]\r\nAnd how's this for irony, their idea of being free is a prison of beliefs[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]B7/F#[/ch]\r\nThat they never ever have to leave[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nOh comedy, oh it's like something that a madman would conceive![/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]G#sus2[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]\r\nThe only thing that seems to make them feel alive is the struggle to survive[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]B[/ch]\r\nBut the only thing that they request is something to numb the pain with[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]B7/F#[/ch]\r\nUntil there's nothing human left[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Outro]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nJust random matter suspended in the dark[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nI hate to say it, but each other's all we
