usual there are a couple of guitars here, one playing
chords and one
establishing the melody. I've just lumped
them together so you can play it
by yourself. So the chords
are approximately the actual chord he's playing
combined
with the melody note.
¿ - 1x0101
Wiped out in the city slick
Another sick rock 'n roller acting like a
dick
Needin' cash
Burnin' through the
trash
That piles up in this place
¿
And fills up behind my empty face
( )
Full of things that I'm not to do
repeat intro
progression):
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions
I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Bookin' away with
nowhere to go
I run down to the corner lot
It's forty-five past
two
I almost forgot to show
Got a date to make with Mr. so 'n so
After
which
I wonÕt care when you all start to bitch
And moan about bein'
alone
You come over with all of your friends
And all their
opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Bookin' away
with nowhere to go
Well can't you
just leave me alone
You've already thrown all the sticks and stones you had to
send my way
Well can't you just leave it at that
And spare us both the
bother cause I just bounce back
Anyway
I got nothin' that I want
to do
More than make another sonnet fuck you to play
Whenever you make my
life clich
So to fit in some little box with the all the labeled shit
You
would say to keep confusion away
You come over with all of your
friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my
shoulder
Bookin' away with nowhere to go
You come over with all of your
friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my
shoulder
Bookin' away
