03 - Rooftop Riot
[Chorus]
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold that very few would try it
Em D C
for fear they'd be put on the jail diet
Am G Em
but I don't care I'll be stayin in the hyatt
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold only a fool would try it
Em D C
you know it's cool you just can't deny it
Am G Em
that's why I fucking tried it
[Verse 1]
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
all set up at the street fair plugged in all my gear
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
just getting the show started when the Bolton Center owner a-ppeared
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
she said I couldn't stay plugged in even though I was willing to pay
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
Well shit its only ten cents of power if i were to stay plugged in the en-ti-re day
[Chorus]
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold that very few would try it
Em D C
for fear they'd be put on the jail diet
Am G Em
but I don't care I'll be stayin in the hyatt
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold only a fool would try it
Em D C
you know it's cool you just can't deny it
Am G Em
that's why I fucking tried it
[Verse 2]
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
she told me to play in the alley far a-way from the street
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
well fuck that bitch I'm here to be seen I storm off stamping my feet
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
I al-ready know what I must do I must find my way to the roof
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
and when I see how easy it is I find that to be the most con-vin-cing proof
[Chorus]
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold that very few would try it
Em D C
for fear they'd be put on the jail diet
Am G Em
but I don't care I'll be stayin in the hyatt
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold only a fool would try it
Em D C
you know it's cool you just can't deny it
Am G Em
that's why I fucking tried it
[Verse 3]
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
I climb up to the top and lo-cate the elec-tric box
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
then I plug in all my stuff but there's no power to rocks
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
I as-sume that it's been shut off so I pack up eve-ry-thing
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
but then I see the amp chord loose and the re-sult makes me wan-na sing
[Chorus]
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold that very few would try it
Em D C
for fear they'd be put on the jail diet
Am G Em
but I don't care I'll be stayin in the hyatt
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold only a fool would try it
Em D C
you know it's cool you just can't deny it
Am G Em
that's why I fucking tried it
[Verse 4]
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
i look out over the crowd and see upon the owner's face a puss
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
then I see her with the po-lice is there really a need for all this fuss
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
the cops do not seem too con-cerned you know it's just a tress-pass warning
Em G Am Bm C D Em G Em
then the owner threatens to press charges and I feign that I find that a-larming
[Chorus]
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold that very few would try it
Em D C
for fear they'd be put on the jail diet
Am G Em
but I don't care I'll be stayin in the hyatt
Em D C
rockin out its a rooftop riot
Am G Em
an act so bold only a fool would try it
Em D C
you know it's cool you just can't deny it
Am G Em Em D C
that's why I fucking tried it
Am G Em
that's why I fucking tried it
