Spoon – The Underdog (Guitar)

Em                         Am
   Picture yourself in the living room

                           G
your pipe and slippers set out for you

                         Bm
I know you think that it ain't too far

Em                           C
   But I hear the call of a lifetime ring

         C    D      G
felt the need to get up for it

                    Am
Oh, you cut out the middleman

    Bm
get free from the middleman

C                         G
  You got no time for the messenger,

C                       D              G
  got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,

C                        Bm
  you got no fear of the underdog,

D
  that's why you will not survive

Em                        C
  I want to forget how conviction fits

          D            G
but can I get out from under it?

             Bm
Can I gut it out of me?

C                G
 It can't all be wedding cake

                Am
It can't all be boiled away

                      Bm
I try but I can't let go of it

  B
I can't let go of it,

C                             G
 'Cause you don't talk to the water boy

C                              D             G
 and there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know,

C                        Bm
 You will not back up an inch ever,

D
 that's why you will not survive

Em                 Am
  The thing that I tell you now

D             G              G D
It may not go over well

Em                Am
And it may not be photo op

D                 G              G D
in the way that I spell it out

C                            Bm
 But you won't hear from the messenger,

C                       Bm                 G     D   C
 don't wanna know 'bout something that you don't understand,

                       Bm
You got no fear of the underdog,

D
 that's why you will not survive
