Title: Underground
Kimya Dawson
tabbed by Sara
Very very simple, which is part of the reason Kimya is so wonderful. This is all by ear,
feel free to augment at will.
C G
My head is pounding, I can't stop the pounding
Am F
I think it is going to explode
C G
And kill everybody who's in close proximity
Am F
to the place I call my home
C G
And they'll make a moving made for tv movie
Am F
For lifetime all about my life
C G
That ends with an epitaph, one that will make you laugh
Am F
That says "great mom, okay wife"
C G
And it'll be funny to the people who know me
Am F
Who know if my body's not burned
C G
My soul will spend an eternity in misery
Am F
Tethered and bound to this earth
C G
So I'm not a dick or a stick in the mud
Am F
Always ruining things for my friends
C G
I mustn't forget when I see the sun set
Am F
That tomorrow it will rise again
Chorus
C G Am F
So I tattoo instructions on my ass
C G Am F
That say don't ever put this body in a casket
C G Am F
Burn and put the ashes in a basket
C G Am F
And throw it in the Puget sound
C G Am F
I don't ever want to be underground
C G Am F
Oh no, Oh no
C G Am F x3
Verse 2
C G Am F
I'm wearing size thirteen basketball shoes
C G Am F
And lavender fishnets, I'm freaked out and fucked up
C G Am F
And I'm standing alone in an alley with you
C G Am F
Wanting to show you a cure for your hiccups
C G Am F
But instead I close my eyes
C G Am F
The needles are numbered so I'm writing you letters
C G Am F
And I cannot disguise
C G Am F
The fact that I'm nervous when we are together
C G Am F
And so I fantasize
C G Am F
That the nights'll get shorter and the days will get better
C G Am F
I feel a kick inside, inside
C G Am F
If this is a girl, I'm naming her heather
C G Am F
She'll look just like you, but her hair will be feathered
C G Am F (hold F)
She'll say how you died before you ever met her
C G Am F
Her hair will be feathered
C G
My head is pounding, I can't stop the pounding
Am F
I think it is going to explode
C G
There are plus and minuses to sinusitis
Am F
Like sometimes I get to go home
C G
But mostly it hurts so bad I think I'm dying
Am F
I just blew my nose and now I feel like crying
C G
And the dreams I have are all of my past lives
Am F
And the seizures would paralyse me in the night
C G
And I'd wake up clutching my teddy bear tight
Am F
And I'm drooling and trying to turn on the light
C G
All I can do is hold fast and sit tight
Am F
But what if they forget? cause you know they just might
Chorus
C G Am F
So I tattoo instructions on my ass
C G Am F
That say don't ever put this body in a casket
C G Am F
Burn and put the ashes in a basket
C G Am F
And throw it in the Puget sound
C G Am F
I don't ever want to be underground
C G Am F
Oh no, Oh no
