[Intro]
G - D - C
G Blame it on the Tetons. D C Yeah, I need a scapegoat now. G No my dog won't bite you, D Though it had the right to. C You oughta give her credit G Cuz she knows I would've let it happen.
D - C
G Blame it on the weekends. D C God I need a cola now. G Oh we mumble loudly, D Wear our blame so proudly. C Wear our blank expressions,
Trying to look interesting.
G Blame it all on me cuz D C God I need a cold one now. G All them eager actors D Gladly taking credit C for the lines created
...C...
By the people tucked away from
G sight / Is it a window D from the room we're bound to. C If you need a way out,
Would you please just let me know how?
G Blame it on the web but D C the spider is your problem now. G Language is the liquid D That we're all dissolved in. C Great for solving problems
...C...
After it creates a problem.
G Blame it on the Tetons, D C God I need a scapegoat now.
[Instrumental]
G - D - C
G C Everyone's a building burning Am C With no one to put the fire out. G C Standing at the window looking out, Am C Waiting for time to burn us down. G C Everyone's an ocean drowning Am C With no one really to show how. G C They might get a little better air Am C If they turned themselves into a cloud.
G - D - C x3
