 D         A          G
Falling asleep at the arcade
 D           A             G
Liquor, it jumps off your tongue
    D              A           G
You used all your words for a quick game
  D            A        G
Blew it all before you won

I speak in cursive, I'm poignant, assertive
There's musical chairs in my teeth
Poke me to battle, I'll jump on the saddle
I'll smile as you fall to your feet

         Em                           A
And they talk without thinking, they bark while
they're shaking
      D              A         Bm   A Bm
With teeth that are round and dull
         Em                               A
And they yell while they're chasing while I'm steady
pacing
    D         A        Bm  A Bm
My syllables hit the floor

Chorus:
      Em             A
How stupid, selfish baby
           D              A        Bm
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
      Em               A
I'll wreck you if you chase me
             D                A        Bm
But I'll be silent 'til you cross the line
     Em        A
The line, the line
           D              A        Bm
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
     Em               A
So crude and selfish baby
           D              A        Bm
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight

Call all your guys in the dive bar
They'll give you the validation
Your daddy could never bestow you
While bloody, they'll tell you you've won

And they talk without thinkin'
They bark while they're shakin'
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they're chasin'
While I'm steady-pacin'
My syllables hit the floor

Chorus

And they talk without thinkin'
They bark while they're shakin'
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they're chasin'
While I'm steady-pacin'
My syllables hit the floor

Chorus
