[Intro] Esus E G Bm Esus E G Bm [Verse]
       Esus
On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing

     E
The world should've ended right then and there

       G
At precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing

     Bm
The world should've ended, how could it go on, how could it go on when

Esus                          E
I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist

Esus                          E
I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist
[Chorus]
    Bb
And now that we got that straight

Bb7
Doesn't mean that I can fly

        Eb                        D
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want

Bb
Now that we got that clear

    Bb7
And you know that I'm not here

        Eb                        D
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please
[Verse]
Esus
The premature ejaculation of his death sentence

                              E
Hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball

    G
And everything got hazy in the courtroom

                                          Bm
And then he stood up and then he sat back down another two times in a row

    Esus
And everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies

    E
And he remembered heroin boy walking through the door

                                 G
Bouncing off the walls and the floor, taking off his belt, taking off his pants, filling up the bathtub
Getting ready to go in for a swim, singing
Esus                          E
I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist

Esus                          E
I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist
[Chorus]
  Bb
And now that we got that straight

Bb7
Doesn't mean that I can fly

        Eb                        D
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want

Bb
Now that we got that clear

    Bb7
And you know that I'm not here

        Eb                        D
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please
[Bridge]
G
And he start remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering

    G            Gmaj7
The heroin boy'd walk through the door

           Em
And he was screaming and everybody was like

                                                D
What're you screaming as if it's the end of the world

                          G
And he was like, well, it is

G                                Gmaj7
I was sitting in the corner with my pants down

          Em
And I was sure someone next door was blowing up balloons

              D      G
And they was red and orange

                   G                                Gmaj7
And there was this one lady at the bar and she was trying to buy gin

         Em                                           D
And this other lady at the bar and she was trying to sell gin

       G
And it worked out good for the boths of them

    G                  Gmaj7
And heroin boy started taking off his belt

        Em
Started taking off his pants, started taking off his shoes

               D       G
Filling up the bathtub, getting ready to go in for a swim

        Bm   G
I says, no

                 Bm      G
You're going to drown

             Bm   G
And he says, no

         Bm
I can't drown

G         Bm
Simply because, shhhh

  B
A man destined to hang can never drown

  D#m
A man destined to hang can never drown

  G#m                                 C#m

  G#m
A man destined to drown can never burn

A#m                                     D#

D#7
A man destined to fry can never, ever, ever

G#m
A man destined to fry can never, ever, ever

  C#m
A man destined to fry can never, ever, ever die

                       B
In any other way than frying

                    Bmaj7   B7               B
I'm lucky that I'm dying by hanging and not drowning
[Outro]
    Bb
So now that we got that straight

Bb7
Can't I just be left alone?

   Eb                     D
I want to take a fucking bath
