[Intro]
| Bb5 (Palm Muted) | | (If you want, the slide is from F5 down to Bb5) | | Repeated Over 4 Bars
[Verse]
Bb5 Daddy told me look into the future
C#5Eb5 Sit at your computer, be a good girl
Bb5 And Mama said remember your a lady,
C#5Eb5 Think before your play and straighten your curls,
Bb5 Well everybodys talking like i'm crazy
C#5Eb5 Danger is a lazy girl with no soul
Bb5 But i've seen it all from where i'm hiding
C#5Eb5 Baby cause i'm sliding, out of control
[Pre-Chorus]
C#5 Here I go, on the road crank the stereo
Eb5 I flick my finger to the world below
C#5 Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Eb5F5 Shut your mouth and lets give a show
[Chorus]
Bb5C#5Eb5 I don't need no good advice
C#5 I'm already wasted
Bb5C#5Eb5 I don't need some other life
C#5 Cold and complicated
Bb5C#5Eb5 I don't need no Sunday trips
C#5 To add sympathising
Bb5C#5Eb5 I don't need no special fix
C#5 To anaesthetise me

[Verse]
Daddy always told me to remember, Leave the boys, till later, don't you drop down Mama said I'd never get to heaven Hang out till eleven, with the wrong crowd
Everybody's talking like I'm only Just another phony girl who can't play But i dig the music that i'm making Baby, and i'll break it into your brain
[Pre-Chorus]
Here I go, on the road, crank the stereo I flick my finger to the world below Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn Shut your mouth and lets give a show
[Chorus]
I don't need no good advice I'm already wasted I don't need some other life Cold and complicated I don't need no Sunday trips To add sympathising I don't need no special fix To anaesthetise me

It's important that you use 5th and not full chords, as the guitar in this song needs to be tonically empty - the harmony is all produced by the synths.
----- Notes -----
A crunchy distortion is best for this song, along with plenty of palm-muting.
During the pre-chorus (C#5 -> Eb5), hit the chords on the 2nd and 4th beats.
Listen to the record for timing, the lyrics are there more as a reference than anything else.
* This version isn't the one you find on the video for this song (with the talking at the end), and so structurally it may be a bit different to the one you're used to...
