[Intro]
F   Gm   Eb   F
[Verse 1]
F                       Gm
When you grab a hold of me
Eb                              F
Tell me that I’ll never be set free
F             Gm
But I’m parasite
Eb                                F
Creep and crawl I step into the night.
F             Bb
Two pints of booze
Eb                         F
Tell me are you a badfish too? (are you a badfish too?)
[Chorus]
Bb                       F
Ain’t got no money to spend
Bb                                F
And I hope this night will never end
Bb                   F
Lord knows that I’m weak
                 Bb               Gm
Won’t somebody get me off of this reef
[Verse 2]
F                          Gm
And baby your a big blue whale
Eb                                        F
I'll grab the reef when all duck diving fails
F                                        Gm
And I can swim but I wish I'd never learned
Eb                                 F
The water’s too polluted with germs
F                                Bb
Dive deep when it’s ten feet overhead
Eb                                       F
And grab the reef, that's underneath my bed, (underneath my bed)
[Chorus]
Bb                          F
Ain’t got no quarrels with God,
Bb                         F
Ain’t got no time to grow old
Bb                   F
Lord knows that I’m weak
          Bb                       Gm
Won’t somebody get me off of this reef
[Boss DJ]
F                                Bb
And there’s a steel train comin’ in,
F                      Bb
I would take it if I could
F                       Bb
And I would not lie to you,
F                        Bb
because Sunday mornin’ soon will come
F                 Bb
Things will be, easier to say
F                               Bb
Upon the microphone like I'm a Boss DJ
F                                       Bb
I will walk up upon the stage, like it was dry land
F                     Bb
A Boss DJ ain’t nothin’ but a man
C                  Bb
No trouble, no fuss, I know why..
F         Bb    F                           Bb
It’s so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice,
F         Bb   F                         Bb
It’s so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
C                    Bb
Nowadays all the songs on the radio,
F                       Bb
They all, all drive me crazy
