[Intro]
 E   Ax2
[Verse 1]
Well I'm a Especial kind of someone
With a F#certain little somethin' that's
AScrewed on loose in my Ehead
And it's a special kind of kindness
That this F#callow Christian blindness
Went aAhead and made me callous insEtead
Well I can run right through red land F#rivers
Where the ridge line Arevels in red land Esun
And I can turn the tables on those
F#Twisted tenor tales that are Atellin' you to
Settle for Eone
[Chorus]
Is it too F#late to chalk this to a Aloss?E  
Hang it 'round my F#neck like an albaAtrossE  
Yeah I'm on F#top
ABut this mob's withEout, oh
I'm sick of this F#marriage
To lady AdoubtE  
Give me a F#sign
AOf anger so deEvout
I'm lookin' for the F#exit
Fuck this, I'm AoutE

[Verse 2]
Well this Elooks like a pretty F#perfect place
For our Alittle pity party to Epause
Though many of the things that F#I miss the most
Will most Alikely mark me with their Eclaws
And it's a happy little handful of F#half thought
Hairline, Atrigger traps for me to Ecross
Though babe you'll understand that the
F#Rules do demand I get the Aseed, fox, and chicken aEcross

[Intro]

E A

[Verse 1]

Well I'm a special kind of someone

With a certain little somethin' that's

A E

Screwed on loose in my head

And it's a special kind of kindness

That this callow Christian blindness

A E

Went ahead and made me callous instead

Well I can run right through red land rivers

A E

Where the ridge line revels in red land sun

And I can turn the tables on those

F# A

Twisted tenor tales that are tellin' you to

Settle for one

[Chorus]

F# A E

Is it too late to chalk this to a loss?

F# A E

Hang it 'round my neck like an albatross

Yeah I'm on top

A E

But this mob's without, oh

I'm sick of this marriage

A E

To lady doubt

Give me a sign

A E

Of anger so devout

I'm lookin' for the exit

A E

Fuck this, I'm out

[Interlude]

E A

[Verse 2]

E F#

Well this looks like a pretty perfect place

A E

For our little pity party to pause

Though many of the things that I miss the most

A E

Will most likely mark me with their claws

And it's a happy little handful of half thought

A E

Hairline, trigger traps for me to cross

Though babe you'll understand that the

F# A E

Rules do demand I get the seed, fox, and chicken across

[Chorus]

F# A E

Is it too late to chalk this to a loss?

F# A E

Hang it 'round my neck like an albatross

Yeah I'm on top

A E

But this mob's without, oh

I'm sick of this marriage

To lady doubt

Give me a sign

A E

Of anger so devout

I'm lookin' for the exit

A E

Fuck this, I'm out

[Bridge]

E F#

And I'm on top of a world that's

A E

Burning down

E F#

King of all the black ash and white

A E

Trees I can see

E F#

Haven't read a lick of the books they're

A E

Burning in town

E F#

Never thought those kind words were meant

A E

For me

[Outro]

Yeah I'm on top

A E

But this mob's without, oh

I'm sick of this marriage

A E

To lady doubt

Give me a sign

A E

Of anger so devout

I'm lookin' for the exit, yeah

I'm lookin' for the exit, hey

I'm lookin' for the exit
