[Verse]

It was quite early one morning

Hit me without warning

D G

I went to hear the general speak

I was standing for the anthem

Banners all around him

F#m G

Confetti made it hard to see

Put my footsteps on the pavement

Starved for entertainment

D G

Four seasons of revolving doors

So sick of being honest

I'll die like Dylan Thomas

F#m G

A seizure on the barroom floor

[Chorus]

D A G

I’m getting greedy with this private hell

D A G

I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

[Verse]

These cats are scared and feral

The flag pins on their lapels

D G

The truth is anybody’s guess

These talking heads are saying

"The king is only playing

F#m G

a game of four dimensional chess"

[Solo]

D G D G

A G F#m G

[Verse]

There's flowers in the rubble

The weeds are gonna tumble

D G

I'm lucid but I still can't think

I'm strapped into a corset

Climbed into your corvette

F#m G

I'm thirsty for another drink

If it's advertised, we'll try it

And buy some peace and quiet

D G

And shut up at the silent retreat

They say you’ve gotta fake it

At least until you make it

F#m G

That ghost is just a kid in a sheet

[Chorus]

D A G

I’m getting used to these dizzy spells

D A G

I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel

D A G

I’m getting greedy with this private hell

D A G

I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

[Outro]
