[Verse 1]
E F#7
Start stop and start, stupid acting smart
C Am
Flirting with the flicks, you say it's just for kicks
B C*
You'll be the victim of your own dirty tricks
G F# C
You got yourself to tease and displease
[Verse 2]
Doors swinging wide, you walked in to hide
Looking at your feet, failure's complete
Saw you and me on the coin-op tv
Frozen in fear every time we appear
[Chorus]
D F#7 C/G
I'm not surprised at all and really, why should I be
Am* Em
See nothing wrong, see nothing wrong
D F#7 C/G
So sick and tired of all these pictures of me
Am* Em
Completely wrong, totally wrong
[Verse 3]
Go walking by, here come another guy
Jailer who sells personal hells
Who'd like to see me down on my fucking knees
Everybody's dying just to get the disease
[Solo]
[Chorus]
D F#7 C/G
I'm not surprised at all and really, why should I be
Am* Em
See nothing wrong, see nothing wrong
D F#7 C/G
I'm so sick and tired of all these pictures of me
G F# C
Everybody's dying just to get the disease
