Modern Baseball - Going to Bed Now
Tuning: Standard
[Verse]
G
What do you give someone
Bm Em C
Who's already got one of everything you thought would be the perfect
Em C G C D
Accoutrement to their unnerving temperament?
G C G
Attention
G Bm
What could a lowly peasant being like myself
Em C
Offer a perfect pleasant savior of humanity
Em C G D
The redeemer of us sickly, sinning hillbillies?
G C Asus4 G/B
Attention
[Chorus]
C D Em
Just one more resounding stab at all the others
D
You've almost blown your cover
C
But your traps don't stick
D
One more bottle should do the trick
Em D
Discreetly cleansing the remnants of every disdainful quip
C D
You found no escape route
G G/F Em C
But I know you well enough to hate you now
Am/C
It's too bad you haven't figured that out
G - C - D - C
[Verse]
G
What do you call someone
Bm Em C
Who calls you out on DIY ethics you don't embody
Em C G D
As he drains his dad and mommy's monthly data plan?
G C
An asshole
G
With an iPhone
[Chorus]
G Bm
I'll admit, I'm in the same boat
Em
Caught between my adolescent safety net
C G
And where the world wants me to be
Asus4
But I never use that as an excuse
Em C
To treat my friends the way that you treat me
Em - Em/Eb - C
Em - D - G - Asus4
D (quick) C5 - D5 - C5 - D5 - C5 - D5 - Eb5 - E5 - F5 - F#5 (etc)
^(this is done quickly just strum fast, while moving your fingers up the neck)
[Chorus]
C D Em
Just one more distorted, sad attempt at humor
D C
From the jagged, bleeding tumor in our throat
D Em
Malignance at best, and quick to address yourself
D C
As anything other than what we've learned to expect
D (Dead Strum)
The patron saint of Good God Damn
G G/F Em
I'll kick myself to sleep
C Cm
Before I shake that grimy, dirty, crusted, arrogant hand
G
So please leave my house
