[Chorus]
DmHey, can you tBbell meF  
What everybody pClans to do
DmHey, can you tBbell meF  
Where's everybody's gCoing to
[Verse 1]
(improvise a bit with the basic chords during each verse)
They're G#mout there on the street
N.C.
They must be elite
They got sF#hoes I can't afford on their
G#mQuick fast feet
N.C.
They have modified irises
N.C.
Behind opaque lens
They're hF#iding equipment
Behind bG#marbed wire fences
N.C.
They have somewhere to go
N.C.
They have somewhere to lurk
They have this hF#igh-end electronic stuff
I wouldn't G#mknow how to work
[Chorus]
DmHey, can you tBbell meF  
What everybody pClans to do
DmHey, can you tBbell meF  
Where's everybody's gCoing to
[Verse 2]
I'm sG#mitting here on my couch
N.C.
My enthusiasm sinking
I don't kF#now where anybody's going
I don't G#mknow what they're thinking
N.C.
There seems to be some secret
N.C.
That everybody's onto
But I jF#ust don't seem to get it man
Not even G#mif I want to
[Chorus 2]
DmHey, can you tBbell meF  
What everybody pClans to do
[Guitar solo]

DmHey, can you tBbell meF  
What everybody pClans to do
DmHey, can you tBbell meF  
Where's everybody's gCoing to
[Verse 3]
I got an uG#mpright piano
That is blocking my door
But my fF#ingers don't obey me
So I don't G#mplay it anymore
N.C.
I got chains around my ankles
N.C.
That are made out of spaghetti
My nF#ewspaper's shredded
Into G#mso much confetti
N.C.
I tried to make sense of it
N.C.
But my eyes start to bleed
F#Every single page is iG#mmpossible to read
[Chorus]
DmHey, can you tBbell meF
