 Am This is the place, where all the junkies go Where time gets fast, but everything gets slow Can I get some Vaseline, step into a modern scene Take a chance on that, which seems to be the making of a dream I don’t want to do it like my Daddy did I don’t want to give it to my baby’s kid Chorus: Am F This is my calling I said my darling Dm C Shocking, appalling All I can do to you Am F Hammers are falling I said my darling Dm C Shocking, appalling All I can do to you This is the place where all the devils plead Their case to take from you what they need Can I isolate your gene? Can I kiss your dopamine? In a way I wonder if she's living in a magazine I don't wanna say it if it isn't so I don't wanna weigh it but I've got to know Chorus F C Dsus4 I saw you out there yesterday, What did you want to say F C Dsus4 A perfect piece of DNA, Caught in a flashing ray F C Dsus4 I caught you out there in the fray, What did you want to say F C Dsus4 A masterpiece of DNA, Caught in a flashing ray Can I smell your gasoline? Can I pet your wolverine? On the day my best friend died I could not get my copper clean I don't wanna take it up with little Joe I don't wanna fake it but I've gotta know Chorus I am a misfit, I'm born with all of it The fucking ultimate of love inside the atom split I'm in a flash ray, a mash of DNA Another popping Jay who thinks he's got something to say You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  Dm  Dsus4  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
