Bm
You just don't get it
        E                       Bm  E
What it is well your not really sure
    Bm                            E
You move like you're walking on thin ice
                     Bm            E
Talking like you're still insecure
Bm                  E
Time is a spiral, space is a curve
   Bm
I know you get dizzy,
      E                   Bm  E  Bm  E
but try not to lose your nerve

Bm                     E
Life is a diamond you turn into dust
Bm                      E
Waiting for rescue, and I know you just
      Bm    E
Don't get it
               Bm
You just don't get it

Chorus:
    Bm      D    A G A
Neurotica exotica
            Bm        D    A G A
It's just erotica hypnotica
         Bm        D    A G A
It's psychotica chaotica
            Bm        D    A G A
It's just exotica neurotica

You just don't get it
Baby, don't you ask yourself why?
If you don't like the answer, forget it
You know I hate to see you cry
Fortune is random, fate shoots from the hip
I know you get crazy,
but try not to lose your grip

Life is a diamond you turn into dust
Looking for trust,
and I know that you just don't get it
You just don't get it

Chorus

Snap!
A              B             C           G
Hide in your shell, let the world go to hell
           A          G          C
It's like Russian roulette to you
  D
Snap!
  A            B               C           G
Sweat running cold, you can't face growing old
        A          B         C
It's a personal threat to you
  D
Snap!
     A          B            C         G
The world is a cage for your impotent rage
     A            B        C
But don't let it get to you
D
Snap!
