Ezra Furman – Lousy Connection (Guitar)

F                                                   C
It's late at night it's time to tell you my secrets

                                    Bb
My personality's cut up into pieces

                                        F
Modern society's my one secret weakness

                         C
I'm out of money and I'm out of my mind

F                                               C
We can't fit in so we just head for the fringes

                                            Bb
Your universe of blue lipstick and syringes

                                                 F
Your bedroom doorway with the bugs in the hinges

                             C
Some things about you that I don't understand at all

    F                       C
But I, I don't wanna be the bad guy

                            Bb
I wanna see myself from the outside

      F                          C
Cause I, I have got a lousy connection

                       Bb
I promise my undying affection

F                                               C
So I've been working on this letter to congress

                                                       Bb
Regarding some things that I think they should address

                                               F
Showed up in court wearing an Indian headdress

                          C                F
Somehow I think maybe the message was lost

                                         C
It seems the clarity we knew is degraded

                                             Bb
A royal flush where all the faces have faded

                                                 F
I want the universe, God knows I've been patient

                           C              F
I hear your voice behind a staticky storm

                                             C
The century seems like it's turning out okay

                                      Bb
It's like a game of worldwide karaoke

                                                         F
And my rich friends and me just sit and blow smoke rings

                                   C                  F
There's nothing happening and it's happening too fast

                                              C
Try to interpret but the message is scrambled

                                              Bb
The institutions that I lean on have crumbled

                                                  F
I've got the world's ear; I'm all fucking mumbles

                         C               F
I guess I'm just another link in a chain

    F                       C
But I, I don't wanna be the bad guy

                            Bb
I wanna see myself from the outside

      F                          C
Cause I, I have got a lousy connection

                       Bb
I promise my undying affection
