G#m           E
   A decade ago I never
                D#
thought I would be,
a twenty three on the verge
of spontaneous combustion
       C#m
Woe is me
                    B
But I guess that it comes
                F#m
with the territory
                      D
An ominous landscape of
                   C#m
never ending calamity
              G#m
I need you to hear
              E
I need you to see,
that I have had all I can take
and exploding seems like a

I've had enough of the world
        F#m               C#m
and its people's mindless games
          A          B
So pardon me while I burn
    E     B/D#     C#m
and rise above the flame

Pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same

G#m              E
   Not two days ago I was
         D#
having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a
                       C#m
guy fried up above his knees
               B
I said I can relate
Cause lately I've been
F#m
thinking of combustication
D                      C#m
as a welcomed vacation from
            G#m           E
The burdens of the planet earth,
like gravity hypocrisy and
    G#m                  C#m
the perils of being in 3 D...
    B
And thinking so much
(Distortion)
A
differently

So pardon me while I burn
