Verse 1:
C
I can’t smell a rat when it’s all rat

C
I can’t find one in an elevator

C
My mind doesn’t work so bad

C
But I am a poor exterminator, that’s right

C
I can’t destroy entirely

C
Or annihilate a little later

C
I can’t see the entire city

C
But I’m not a bad exterminator
Chorus:
C         G      F   C
I’m just a shade shy of true wickedness

     G      F            C     
I’m a shade shy of truly loving it, yeah

G         F                C                G
There are other things I’d rather be doing

F       
Even nothing

     D
Even nothing

     C
Even nothing with you
Verse 2:
C
One day I’ll make some honest rock n roll

C
Full of handclaps and gang vocals

C
I’m gonna get all the children involved

C
We’re gonna get lost on all you locals
Chorus:
C         G      F   C
We’ll be a shade shy of true wickedness

          G      F            C     
We’ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah

G         F            C                           G
There are other things we’ll rather be doing, sure

F       
Even nothing

     D
Even nothing

     C
Even nothing with you
Bridge:
D
We’ll load out through the snow through 

F2
Small groups of people smoking

C
Hey, get that kick drum loaded

G                        D
Into the backseat folded down
We’ll go virtually unnoticed
F2                                         C
What’s gripping the city ain’t hitting the town
Chorus:
C         G      F   C
We’ll be a shade shy of true wickedness

          G      F            C     
We’ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah

G         F            C                     
There are other things that we’ll surely miss
Bridge:
D
We’ll load out through the snow through 

F2
Small groups of people smoking

C
Hey, get that kick drum loaded

G                        D
Into the backseat folded down
We’ll go perfectly unnoticed
F2                                         C
What’s gripping the city ain’t hitting the town
