            G
Sometimes I like to lay in

bed and pretend like I died

             D/F#
Sometimes I stay like that

until the day becomes night

       G
Then I crank myself up

and I set loose to fly

       C
Like a bunch of restless

             D
bats finally coming to life

        G
And the places are the same

but the faces are new

       D/F#
And my own face is somewhere

between yellow and blue

        Em
And I'm pressing my luck

just to see if I can

        C
And I'm betting my soul

        D           D
and I'm losing again

Chorus 1:

          G            D
Cuz these pigs seem to be

            C
getting the best of me

              G
These fucking pigs seem to

D              C
be getting the best of me

These fucking pigs seem to

G              D       C
be getting the best of me

     Em         G
With so much to love

              D
sometimes you wind up

diseased Whoa  Whoa

   G D   C    G D   C Am D(hold)

Verse 2:

        G
Now I'm back in the sun

and my fingers are scraping

      D/F#
And I can't work the clasp

I can't stop the shaking

        G
And I'm making that face

that only ever happens

          C
When your life takes a

             D
shit in your pants and

                    G
keeps crapping What happened

to all of the "Oh you'll

                D/F#
be fines?" What happened

to having plenty of time?

     Em
What happened to my

fucking body and mind?

  C
I poisoned them dry

         D
but I'd still like to try

Refrain:

           C
To wake up tomorrow and to

Em          D           C
feel myself grow in the sun

           C            Em
To finally face all the work

        D           C
I still need to get done

        Em           D
To quit being such a pussy

        C              Em
And run back into the storm

         D           C(hold)
where my demons come from
