[Intro]
Am9 | G | C | F |
[Part 1]
Am9
A three-piece suit on me
G
A tutu on you
C
In an empty airplane hangar
F
At a table for two
Dm/A
A pregnant pause
Em/B
A thought exhaled
C/G
In the jowls of the work-week
F
Spare me the details
[Chorus]
F
And if you ever did
Em
Spy a giant squid
C/G
With your lazy eye
F
With its drooping lid
F G
We're in this together
Son, your beef is mine -----> [RIFF 1]

[Verse]
Am
Well, Vern sunburns himself
G
For to peel the old him off
C
To find the red him underneath
F
The redder him, more raw
Dm/A
Scooping out his brains
Em/B
With a rusted grapefruit spoon
C/G
Drinking his own urine
F
In the executive washroom
[Chorus]
F
And if you've ever been
Em
An unconvincing spokesman in
C/G
A seminar and telling jokes
F
Naked and forgot your notes
F G
We're in this together
Son, your beef is mine -----> [RIFF 1]
[Instrumental]
Am | G | F | C , G X4
[Part 2]
F
But if you ever died
Am
Or ever genuinely tried
C
Or if you ever were denied
F
Your relevance or sense of pride
Dm/A
If you sputtered and you stuttered
Em/B
And you tied yourself in knots
C
And under your breath you muttered
F
Something someone else forgot
F
And if you ever have
Em
Missed your flight to Leningrad
C/G
Running down some airport stairs
F
Semen running down your leg
F G
We're in this together
Son, your beef is mine
[Part 2]
C | F C | X 3
Am| C G |
C
Well, who tells you to work?
F , C
"The devil."
C
Who tells you when you get a day off?
F , C
"The devil."
C
And who gives you your pay?
F , C
"The damn devil."
Am
Aw, and who takes it away?
C , G
"The devil."
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Bm
That pampered quarterback
A
Oh, he don't know how to act
D
Oh, he don't know how to throw
G
I want my fucking money back
Em7
Oh, I want to think without
A7/E
Hearing my mind's mouth talk
D
Be neutered and lobotomized
G
And pushed out of a truck
G
And if you ever were
A
Somewhere where you never were
D
Inside someone else's skin
G
Stealing someone's self from him
G A
We're in this together
[Outro]

Your beef is mine

Your beef is mine
