Hey, ho, let go
Am  Dm  Am  Dm
Good mAmorning, killer king, you're a sDmtar
That's gAmorgeous, hold it right where you Dmare
The wGeather's kind of lousy toDmdayC  
                                  F       Am     E(E7)
So what, oh, what, oh, what’ll we play?
StAmratocaster strapped to your bDmack
It's a sAmemi-automatic like DDmad's
He tGaught you how to pause and rDmesetC  
                               F      Am     E(E7)
And that’s about as far as you get
So whAmat’s the use in going outDmside?
It's so deprAmessing when people die in real lDmife
I'd rGather pick up right where we lDmeftC  
MFaking out to faces of dC/Geath, ooh
                       F       Am    E(E7)
Making out to faces of death
And AI could save you, bDaby, but it Cisn't worth my tFime
And AI could make you chDase me for a lCittle Price is RFight
It’s a hAmit, but are you actually sDmure
The tAmargets in the crowd are a bDmlur
The pGeople screaming just like they shDmouldC  
But yFou don't even know if you're gC/Good, ooh
                              F      Am     E(E7)
You don't even know if you're good
So Amtie them up and feed them the sDmand
AmTry hard, tell us using your hDmands
A pGicture's worth a million wDmordsC  
AFnd that way nobody gets hC/Gurt, ooh
                         F      Am     E(E7)
And that way nobody gets hurt
AI could save you, bDaby, but it iCsn't worth my tFime
And AI could make you chDase me for a lCittle Price is RFight

That goes Coff at a breath, so careful, dEon't make a sound
AmX marks the box in the hDmole in your head 
                               C     E(E7)
That you dug for yourself, now lie in it

You wAmanted to make it, and now that you're Dmin
You shGut your eyes and flip the cassDmetteC  
And thFat’s about the time that they C/Ghit, ooh

And that’s about the time that they hit
WAmhat the fuck is up with this sDmhit?
IAmt's certainly not worth getting upDmset
His hGands are gone, and most of his hDmeadC  
And juFst when he was getting so gC/Good
                            F      Am     E(E7)
Just when he was getting so good
