Go Haunt Someone Else
Standard Tuning
C is played as 332010
G Am
the moralist on the mountaintop
C D
the capgun cowboy caught playin dressup
G Em C
patrols his cartoon beat with his costume clothes
G Am
the damn fool with his ten ton chip
C
his bourgeois blues
D
and his heartbreak habit
G Em
slings his lightning bolts
D
his arrows and stones
C
but you could do it forever
G Em
it wont make you better
C Am
cause you wont find your mark
C
you could use a mirror
G Am
to see your target clearer
D
but bad blood hijacked your heart
C G
but you got what you asked for
Am
so dont even start
C
you're never a victim
D
so own what you did son
G
admit what you are.
G Am
dead weight in a tightrope trance
C D
the painpill creatures stray in his wasteland
G Em Am
clenched teeth and a canyon he cant cross
G Am
theres me racing right along
C D
the jukebox jester stuck on the same song
G Em D
mouth full of lies a head full of holes
C
until i got worried
G Em
you saw the life i could lead
C Am Em
if i backed up off that rope
C
and let the ground come to me
Am
steady under my knees
D
and my anger blurrin into hope
C G
i asked for perspective
Am
and it untied my hands
C
i see the role I play
D
i chose my own way
G
cant blame me for that
(Interlude)
C
so when you're sorry
G
and one day you will be
Am Em
i wish you all the best
C
i hope that you drop softly
G
and it dont end too badly
D
and your ragin head can finally rest
C G
and you could be honest
Am
and rescue yourself
C
but ill walk my own way
D
ill go where you wont go
Em D
you wont put me through hell, no no.
C
cause now i see through you
D
believe what you need to
C Cm G
go haunt someone else
Go Haunt Someone Else
