Kimya Dawson – Underground (Guitar)

C                       G
My head is pounding, I can't stop the pounding

Am                      F
I think it is going to explode

C                    G
And kill everybody who's in close proximity

Am                      F
to the place I call my home

C                              G
And they'll make a moving made for TV movie

Am                         F
For Life Time all about my life

C                          G
That ends with an epitaph, one that will make you laugh

Am                         F
That says "great mom, okay wife"

C                         G
And it'll be funny to the people who know me

Am                         F
Who know if my body's not burned

C                         G
My soul will spend an eternity in misery

Am                        F
Tethered and bound to this earth

C                      G
So I'm not a dick or a stick in the mud

Am                           F
Always ruining things for my friends

C                      G
I mustn't forget when I see the sun set

Am                         F
That tomorrow it will rise again

     C        G             Am     F
So I tattoo instructions on my ass

         C          G          Am      F
That say don't ever put this body in a casket

C           G         Am       F
Burn it and put the ashes in a basket

    C          G      Am    F
And throw them in the Puget Sound

  C          G       Am       F
I don't ever want to be underground

C      G        Am  F
Oh no, oh no

C            G            Am            F
I'm wearing size thirteen basketball shoes

C            G            Am            F
And lavender fishnets, I'm freaked out and fucked up

C            G            Am            F
And I'm standing alone in an alley with you

C            G            Am            F
Wanting to show you a cure for your hiccups

      C       G        Am   F
But instead I close my eyes

    C            G              Am           F
The needles are numbered so I'm writing you letters

    C    G      Am    F
And I cannot disguise

    C             G            Am       F 
The fact that I'm nervous when we are together

    C    G    Am   F
And so I fantasize

C            G            Am            F
That the nights'll get shorter and the days will get better

  C      G      Am      F
I feel a kick inside, inside

C            G            Am            F
If this is a girl, I'm naming her Heather

C            G            Am            F
She'll look just like you, but her hair will be feathered

C            G            Am            F (hold F)
She'll say how you died before you ever met her

                 C       G  Am  F
Her hair will be feathered

C                      G
My head is pounding, I can't stop the pounding

Am                  F
I think it is going to explode

C                            G
There are plus and minuses to sinusitis

Am                      F
Like sometimes I get to go home

C                          G
But mostly it hurts so bad I think I'm dying

Am                          F
I just blew my nose and now I feel like crying

C                             G
And the dreams I have are all of my past lives

Am                             F
And the seizures would paralyse me in the night

C                      G
And I wake up clutching my teddy bear tight

Am                             F
And I'm drooling and trying to turn on the light

C                     G
All I can do is hold fast and sit tight

         Am                         F
But what if they forget? 'cause you know they just might

     C        G             Am     F
So I tattoo instructions on my ass

         C          G          Am      F
That say don't ever put this body in a casket

C           G         Am       F
Burn it and put the ashes in a basket

    C          G      Am    F
And throw them in the Puget Sound

  C          G       Am       F
I don't ever want to be underground

C      G        Am  F
Oh no, oh no
