[Intro]
Esus E G Bm
Esus E G Bm
[Verse]
Esus
On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing
E
The world should've ended right then and there
G
At precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing
Bm
The world should've ended, how could it go on, how could it go on when
Esus E
I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist
Esus E
I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist
[Chorus]
Bb
And now that we got that straight
Bb7
Doesn't mean that I can fly
Eb D
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want
Bb
Now that we got that clear
Bb7
And you know that I'm not here
Eb D
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please
[Verse]
Esus
The premature ejaculation of his death sentence
E
Hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball
G
And everything got hazy in the courtroom
Bm
And then he stood up and then he sat back down another two times in a row
Esus
And everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies
E
And he remembered heroin boy walking through the door
G
Bouncing off the walls and the floor, taking off his belt, taking off his pants, filling up the bathtub
Getting ready to go in for a swim, singing
Esus E
I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist
Esus E
I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist
[Chorus]
Bb
And now that we got that straight
Bb7
Doesn't mean that I can fly
Eb D
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want
Bb
Now that we got that clear
Bb7
And you know that I'm not here
Eb D
Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please
[Bridge]
G
And he start remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering
G Gmaj7
The heroin boy'd walk through the door
Em
And he was screaming and everybody was like
D
What're you screaming as if it's the end of the world
G
And he was like, well, it is
G Gmaj7
I was sitting in the corner with my pants down
Em
And I was sure someone next door was blowing up balloons
D G
And they was red and orange
G Gmaj7
And there was this one lady at the bar and she was trying to buy gin
Em D
And this other lady at the bar and she was trying to sell gin
G
And it worked out good for the boths of them
G Gmaj7
And heroin boy started taking off his belt
Em
Started taking off his pants, started taking off his shoes
D G
Filling up the bathtub, getting ready to go in for a swim
Bm G
I says, no
Bm G
You're going to drown
Bm G
And he says, no
Bm
I can't drown
G Bm
Simply because, shhhh
B
A man destined to hang can never drown
D#m
A man destined to hang can never drown
G#m C#m
A man destined to hang can never ever drown
C#m
A man destined to drown can never burn
G#m
A man destined to drown can never burn
A#m D#
A man destined to drown can never ever burn
D#7
A man destined to fry can never, ever, ever
G#m
A man destined to fry can never, ever, ever
C#m
A man destined to fry can never, ever, ever die
B
In any other way than frying
Bmaj7 B7 B
I'm lucky that I'm dying by hanging and not drowning
[Outro]
Bb
So now that we got that straight
Bb7
Can't I just be left alone?
Eb D
I want to take a fucking bath
