C#m7         F#7
I'm already bored
     C#m7                           F#7
I'm pretty sure I've seen this one before
     C#m7                             B
I've got a long drive, I'll tape my eyes
           C#m7         F#7
So I don't fall asleep again
Singing out

Chorus:
C#m                  F#7
Up and down, they're nodding
B                C#m
Heads are moving up and down
     F#
You got it
B          C#m7
Everybody stand in line
(Up and down, you got it)
             F#          B
One by one, take a hit, join the club
C#m                       F#
Kids will try to take my vibes
               E       B
Or am I on the outside?

     C#m7                            B

So I don't fall asleep again
Singing out

Chorus

       Cm7                         F#7
I am a Megalodon, ocean's feelin' like a pond
(Like a pond)
                 B
Swimmin' like a beast,
underneath they be clingin' on (Clingin' on)
          E
Meteoric rise in prehistoric times
          F#                B
Now that meteor is comin', comin'
      Cm7                F#7
I am Megatron, cogs I'm steppin' on (Steppin' on)
                 B
Then the little cogs get together
start a renaissance
(A renaissance)
          E
Switch it up on me, fuel efficiency
    F#                   B
On fumes I am runnin', runnin', runnin'

Chorus:
C#m                  F#7
Up and down, they're nodding
B                C#m
Heads are moving up and down
    F#
You got it
 B        C#m                   F#7
Everybody up and down, they're nodding
 B               C#m
Heads are moving up and down
    F#m
You got it
B          C#m7
Everybody stand in line
(Up and down, you got it)
             F#          B
One by one, take a hit, join the club
C#m                       F#
Kids will try to take my vibes
                E      B
Or am I on the outside?
