Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Bored  holes through our tongues, so sing a song about it
Held  our breath for too long till we're half sick about it
Tell  us what we did wrong and you can blame us for it
Turn  a clamp on our thumbs, we'll  sew a doll about it
And  tell us all about it
And  tell us all about it
How  about some credit  now
 Where credit is due
 For the damage that we've done
We  have brought upon ourselves  and others
 With a slow  and vicious gun
 And although pratfalls  can be fun
 Encores can be fatal
 And then I hear you say
Thank  God it's fatal
 Thank God it's fatal
Not  shy
 Not shy of fatal
 Not shy of fatal
Thank  God it's fatal
 Thank God it's fatal
Not  shy of fatal
 Not shy of fatal
Wait  just a second  now
 It's not all that  bad
 Don't you count out the sun
You're  making mountains  of handkerchiefs
 Where the  mascara always  runs
 So be careful  when you're done
 You're bound to  get post-natal
 What did I just hear you say?
 Repeat  progression to end
 Thank God it's fatal
 No, we don't want to hear the sound of a door
 No, we don't want to hear the sound of a door
 And we don't want to read the signs that you bore
 You know the kind of sign you hang on a door
 Saying, "We'll be back. What a crack."
 Now don't you think we might have heard that before?
 Now don't you think we might have heard that before?
 Bored holes through our tongues, so sing a song about it
 Held our breath for too long till we're half sick about it
 Tell us what we did wrong and you can blame us for it
 Turn a clamp on our thumbs, we'll sew a doll about it
