Living Well Is The Best Revenge

by R.e.m.

Biography:

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist/backing vocalist Mike Mills, and lead vocalist Michael Stipe. One of the first alternative rock bands, R.E.M. was noted for Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style, Stipe's distinctive vocal quality and obscure lyrics, Mills's melodic basslines and backing vocals, and Berry's tight, economical style of drumming.

R.E.M. released its first single—"Radio Free Europe"—in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone.

Intro: B

Verse:

B
It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live
A
and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now
B
You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer's daughter

Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?
A
I lay right down

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A A/Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
A E
because living well's the best revenge
D A E
Baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

B
Don't turn your talking points on me.

History will set me free
A
The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote now!
B
So who's chasing you? Where did you go?

You disappear mid-sentence

In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it
A
You weakened shill.

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A A/Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
A E
because living well is the best revenge
D A E
and baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

B
You savor your dying breath

I forgive but I don't forget

You work it out, let's hear that argument again
A
Camera three... GO NOW!

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
A E
because living well is the best revenge
D A E
and baby, I am calling you on that
D A E
Baby, I am calling you on that
D A E
Baby, I am calling you on that

End on B
