Em              C/G
Underneath the bridge
    Em                C/G
The tarp has sprung a leak
        Em            C/G
And the animals I've trapped
     Em            C/G
Have all become my pets
        Em            C/G
And I'm living off of grass
         Em                 C/G
And the drippings from the ceiling
Em               C/G
It's okay to eat fish
             Em             C/G
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Chorus:
Em                C/G  Em C/G
Something in the way, mmm
Em               C/G         Em C/G
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Em                C/G  Em C/G
Something in the way, mmm
Em               C/G         Em C/G
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Em                C/G  Em C/G
Something in the way, mmm
Em               C/G         Em C/G
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

Underneath the bridge
Tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
