D F#m E
Animals on TV singing About some pain that they once felt
D F#m E
There's no one I disapprove of more or root for more than myself
D F#m E
I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone
D F#m E
didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone
Bm A F#m E
So we talk about ourselves and hell
Bm A F#m E
To forget the love we never felt
Bm E A D A
All the old jokes that work so well
Bm E A
Universal truth, was a moment's lie
F# C#
Don't try to stop us
E B
Don't try to stop us
D A
Don't try to stop us
A C#
Get out of the way
D F#m E
Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see
D F#m E
She sees her father in the old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs
D F#m E
Animals on TV singing about some pain they felt at some point
D F#m E
I didn't want to tell you it was better, better, better, what's the point?
Bm A F#m E
As I watched the velvet drapes appear
Bm A F#m E
And the door was closed for 40 years
Bm E A D A
as we hide what we don't want to hear
Bm E A D
As we hide what's realy, in our ears
[solo] D F#m E x5
Bm A F#m E
He is coming from a part of hell
Bm A F#m E
Where, lightning blue eyes don't go down well
Bm A F#m E
He can tell that we're oblivious
Bm A F#m E
It's addiction and routine as well
Bm E A D A
Making fools out of the best of us
Bm E A D A
Making robots of the rest of us
Bm E A D A
innocence itself in America today
Bm E A
is a crime, just like cornel west might say
F# C#
Don't try to stop us
E B
Don't try to stop us
D A
Don't try to stop us
A C#
