[Verse 1]
D              G/D           D    G/D   D
They tried the handcuffs but they won't lock
D              G/D      D   G/D   D
Electrical courses but they won't shock
               A    D
You pulled the fire alarm
           A         D
You tried punching a cop
G                        A
You're just too tired to stop
             D     G/D   D   G/D   D
You old pine box
[Chorus]
             Em
You old pine box
          A
With your head full of rocks
D                    G
Sharp like a cracked flowerpot
              Em
You old paper hat
         A
On your skull full of bats
D                        G
There's no percentage in that
[Verse 2]
D           G/D           D    G/D  D
They called relations but they declined
D               G/D          D      G/D  D
They called the fan club but they'd resigned
          A        D
Left your car in a field
         A           D
And some questions behind
     G                             A
Your mom thinks you're out of your mind
[Bridge]
D             Bbadd#11
Over the falls and into the drink
D             Bbadd#11
The barrel breaks and we slowly sink
[Verse 3]
D              G/D           D    G/D   D
They tried the handcuffs but they won't lock
D              G/D      D   G/D   D
Electrical courses but they won't shock
               A    D
You pulled the fire alarm
           A         D
You tried punching a cop
G                        A
You're just too tired to stop
             D     G/D   D   G/D   D
You old pine box
             D     G/D   D   G/D   D
