Blame it on the Tetons.

Yeah, I need a scapegoat now.

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.

Wear our blame so proudly.

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 [Outro] C
