The Tape

[Am], [Em], [F], [C] x4

[C]Now they're calling for the second time today

Asking for to borrow those two tapes again
[Fm]Is it really worth the struggle of [C]covering up?

On the brink and learning how to live with it

Got experience from method toting deep within
[Fm]And they say it's so inflammable
[C]Am I [Am]caught [D7]in a [Fm]trap with all the rem[C]ains of a [Fm]letd[C]own?
[C]All the remains of a [Fm]letd[C]own

[Am]   [Em] Speak out[Fm] if you [C]got it
[Am]   [Em] Watch out[Fm] if you [C]run
Since[Am] I he[Bm7]ard s[C7]omeo[Dm]ne [F]died at a screening downtow[G]n of a tape

INTRO CHORDS x2

VERSE 1 CHORDS

Now they're running round drawing circles and
Living up to everything you think of them
Such a senseless slender guy and his greater half
On a mission for the local government
Looking for a tape that's gonna pay the rent
And they say it's so inflammable
The cats will whine the dogs will itch
So bury the beat and forget them
Raise the remains of a letdown

Speak out if you got it
Watch out if you run
Since I heard someone cried at a screening
Downtown of a tape

INTRO REPEATS x2

Of a tape
Ok

Now it's coming out the story we all knew
In equal parts all that you did and that you didn't do
Was it really worth the struggle of covering up?
Leave it playing till it spells the ending back
Is this what happens if you suffer like a cardiac?
Will you beg to be excused for always dumbing down
Or wrenching up
Now all that's left is a letdown
The view in reverse of a letdown

Speak up if you got it
Watch out if you run
Since I heard someone died at a screening
Downtown of a tape,

of a tape
