Intro: D Dmaj7 Gsus4 G Bb F A7 D D Dmaj7 Gsus4 G Bb F A7 D [Verse]
      D          D/F    G
Wiped out in the city slick

  B7                   Em            G7     C
Another sick rock 'n' roller acting like a dick

         B7
Needing cash

Em         G7         C
Burning through the trash

      G                D/F#
That piles up in this place

Ddim7          Am     Am/G    F
And fills up behind my empty face

         Dm             Bb      F  A7sus4 A7 
Full of things that I'm not to do
[Chorus]
D       Dmaj7     Gsus4          G
You come over with all of your friends

    Bb          F         A7             D
And all their opinions I don't want to know

         Dmaj7 Gsus4      G
And I'm looking over my shoulder

Bb        F        A7         D
Booking away with nowhere to go
[Verse]
       D           D/F    G
I run down to the corner lot

B7                    Em
It's forty-five past two

     G7      C       B7
I almost forgot to show

Em     G7      C                    G
Got a date to make with Mr. So-and-So

       D/F#
After which

Ddim7              Am      Am/G     F         Dm
I won't care when you all start to bitch and moan

       Bb     F    A7sus4 A7 
About being alone
[Chorus]
D       Dmaj7     Gsus4          G
You come over with all of your friends

    Bb          F         A7             D
And all their opinions I don't want to know

         Dmaj7 Gsus4      G
And I'm looking over my shoulder

Bb        F        A7         D
Booking away with nowhere to go
[Bridge]
       E                        Gm
Well, can't you just leave me alone?

Bm      Bm7/A          Bm/G#                G
You've already thrown all the sticks and stones

                   Gm
You had to send my way

       E                          Gm
Well, can't you just leave it at that?

Bm          Bm7/A      Bm/G#
And spare us both the bother

                       G      Gm
Because I just bounce back anyway
[Verse]
       D             D/F      G
I got nothing that I want to do

B7               Em       G7        C       B7
More than make another sonic "fuck you" to play

Em   G7       C                G
Whenever you make my life cliché

      D/F#
So to fit

Ddim7           Am                  Am/G      F
In some little box with the all the labeled shit

           Dm             Bb      F  ( A7sus4 A7 )
You would say to keep confusion away
[Chorus]
D       Dmaj7     Gsus4          G
You come over with all of your friends

    Bb          F         A7             D
And all their opinions I don't want to know

         Dmaj7 Gsus4      G
And I'm looking over my shoulder

Bb        F        A7         D
Booking away with nowhere to go

D       Dmaj7     Gsus4          G
You come over with all of your friends

    Bb          F         A7             D
And all their opinions I don't want to know

         Dmaj7 Gsus4      G
And I'm looking over my shoulder

Bb        F    A7 D
Booking away...
