Intro:
D Dmaj7 Gsus4 G Bb F A7 D
D Dmaj7 Gsus4 G Bb F A7 D

[Verse]
D D/F G
Wiped out in the city slick
B7 Em G7 C
Another sick rock 'n' roller acting like a dick
B7
Needing cash
Em G7 C
Burning through the trash
G D/F#
That piles up in this place
Ddim7 Am Am/G F
And fills up behind my empty face
Dm Bb F A7sus4 A7
Full of things that I'm not to do

[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 Gsus4 G
You come over with all of your friends
Bb F A7 D
And all their opinions I don't want to know
Dmaj7 Gsus4 G
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Bb F A7 D
Booking away with nowhere to go

[Verse]
D D/F G
I run down to the corner lot
B7 Em
It's forty-five past two
G7 C B7
I almost forgot to show
Em G7 C G
Got a date to make with Mr. So-and-So
D/F#
After which
Ddim7 Am Am/G F Dm
I won't care when you all start to bitch and moan
Bb F A7sus4 A7
About being alone

[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 Gsus4 G
You come over with all of your friends
Bb F A7 D
And all their opinions I don't want to know
Dmaj7 Gsus4 G
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Bb F A7 D
Booking away with nowhere to go

[Bridge]
E Gm
Well, can't you just leave me alone?
Bm Bm7/A Bm/G# G
You've already thrown all the sticks and stones
Gm
You had to send my way
E Gm
Well, can't you just leave it at that?
Bm Bm7/A Bm/G#
And spare us both the bother
G Gm
Because I just bounce back anyway

[Verse]
D D/F G
I got nothing that I want to do
B7 Em G7 C B7
More than make another sonic "fuck you" to play
Em G7 C G
Whenever you make my life cliché
D/F#
So to fit
Ddim7 Am Am/G F
In some little box with the all the labeled shit
Dm Bb F ( A7sus4 A7 )
You would say to keep confusion away

[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 Gsus4 G
You come over with all of your friends
Bb F A7 D
And all their opinions I don't want to know
Dmaj7 Gsus4 G
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Bb F A7 D
Booking away with nowhere to go
D Dmaj7 Gsus4 G
You come over with all of your friends
Bb F A7 D
And all their opinions I don't want to know
Dmaj7 Gsus4 G
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Bb F A7 D
Booking away...
