Verse:
Am
This is the place, where all the junkies go
A                                          Asus4                G Dsus4
Where time gets fast, but everything gets slow
Am
Can I get some Vaseline, step into a modern scene
Am
Take a chance on that, which seems to be the making of a dream
                        G7
I don’t want to do it like my Daddy did
Am
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

Shocking, appalling All I can do to you

Verse 2:
Am
This is the place where all the devils plead
                                           Asus4            G7   D7   D
Their case to take from you what they need
Am
Can I isolate your gene, can I kiss your dopamine

In a way I wonder if she’s living in a magazine
                         G7
I don’t want to say it if it isn’t so
                       Csus2                                     Am
I don’t want to weigh it but I’ve got to know

Am                        F
This is my calling, I said my darling
D7                             C
Shocking, appalling, All I can do to you
Am                            F
Hammers are falling, I said my darling

Shocking, appalling, All I can do to you
F   Am   C   Asus4
  Oooh

Bridge:
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

Verse 3:
Am7
Can I smell your gasoline, Can I pet your wolverine
D7
On the day my best friend died, I could not get my copper clean

I don’t want to take it up, With Little Joe
Am
I don’t want to fake it, So I’ve got to go

Am                        F
This is my calling, I said my darling
D7                             C

Hammers are falling, I said my darling
D7                            G7
Shocking, appalling, All I can do to you

Outro:
Am                F
I’m a misfit, I’m born with all of it
Dm                                    C
The fucking ultimate, Of love inside the atom split
Am                       F
I’m in a flash ray, A mash of DNA
D7                                        C                                           Am
Another poppin’ Jay, Who thinks he’s got something to say

Am   C   Am   C   A
