F#m           D           F#m D
Well I tripped I fell down naked

Well I scratched my knees they bled

Sew up my eyes need no more
F#m         D         F#m D
In our game there is no score

Chorus:
Bm
Forgive me father
A
Why should you bother?
F#m            E
Try honesty, try honesty

Hop in your dumptruck

Reverse for good luck

Right over me, right over  me

Take on the whole world

Fight with the young girls
 F#m          E
Die tragedy, die tragedy

Call me a cheapskate
 A
Come on for Pete's sake
 F#m         E
Cry agony, cry agony

I'm insane, it's your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
And I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small
