[Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]
        G                C
Oh, The State cut off my arms

        G             C             G
And the state tore my eyes with her nails

                C
Hey, I was just put on this earth

  G                     C        D       G    Am
A bad wind to trash the sails of all you evil men
[Chorus]
           G              D            C
You should know somewhere in the night

          G           D            Am
There's a blue broken drum playing dead

           Em          C
And that's     good to know
C G C G C [Verse 2]
        G                  C
Oh, The State tore out our hearts

        G                         C
And The State exposed our hearts

    G           C
And wounded me, gave me this bad knee

G                     C
  tore down my baby's favorite tree
[Chorus]
     D
But, oh

           Am
You should know

G         D      C
Somewhere in the night

          G           D            Am
There's a blue broken drum playing dead

           Em          C
And that's    good to know
[Instrumental break] G C G C x3 D Am G D C x2 [Bridge]
Em  G     C             G          C
    Loose lips sink the lives of disgusting women

       G                    C
So the State rolled me up into a ball

          G                        C
I crushed diamonds in the fall and traded them for bread

G                       C
Turn away if you should hear me begin to sing

G                     C
I look like a fucking monster with this wing!

G           C
Craving new experiences, so what
[Chorus]
G            C
Oh but maybe you should know

D                Am
Somewhere in the night

          G           D            C
There's a blue broken drum playing dead
[Outro] G D C x7 G
