Intro-- G, C, for as long as you see fit
GWhen I was just a little bCoy
I threw away all of my aGction toys
While I became obCsessed with OGperatiCon
GWith hearts and minds and certain glCands
You gotta learn to keep a stGeady hand
And thus began my moCrbid fasciGnatioCn
DTore the spines from out of all of these sEmelf-help books
AmMade myself a gun that not only shEmoots but looks
So reCal
Yeah it shoots through sDteel
With rays of darkGmattCer
Rays of darkGmatteCr
GDo you wonder where the self resCides
Is it in the head or beGtween your sides
And who would be the one who wCill decide
Its true loGcatioCn
GAnd does the thought of all this red and blCack
Thought of tongues that tGaste you back
Fill you with the naCusea of elGatioCn
DThe noose is loosed around our necks made of EmDNA              
And every Dday it's growing tAmighter, no matter what they Emdo or say
Well, you can shCoot right through with rays of darkmatter
Just befDore they kick out
They kick out the GladdeCr
With rays of darkmGatter, oh Cno
Rays of darkGmatter, oh CnoG  
Yah, like something catcChing fire
Oh GnoC  G  C  
GDo you wonder where the self reCsides
Is it in the head or betGween your sides
And who would be the one who wCill decide
Its true loGcatiCon

Chords in this song · guitar

Intro-- G, C, for as long as you see fit

G C

When I was just a little boy

I threw away all of my action toys

C G C

While I became obsessed with Operation

G C

With hearts and minds and certain glands

You gotta learn to keep a steady hand

C G C

And thus began my morbid fascination

D Em

Tore the spines from out of all of these self-help books

Am Em

Made myself a gun that not only shoots but looks

So real

Yeah it shoots through steel

G C

With rays of darkmatter

G C

Rays of darkmatter

G C

Do you wonder where the self resides

Is it in the head or between your sides

And who would be the one who will decide

G C

Its true location

G C

And does the thought of all this red and black

Thought of tongues that taste you back

C G C

Fill you with the nausea of elation

D Em

The noose is loosed around our necks made of DNA

D Am Em

And every day it's growing tighter, no matter what they do or say

Well, you can shoot right through with rays of darkmatter

Just before they kick out

G C

They kick out the ladder

G C

With rays of darkmatter, oh no

G C G

Rays of darkmatter, oh no

Yah, like something catching fire

G C G C

Oh no

G C

Do you wonder where the self resides

Is it in the head or between your sides

And who would be the one who will decide

G C

Its true location
