intro: 1x 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.

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 end on C
