INTRO:
E D# C# B E F# E/F# (E slide to F#)


VERSE 1:
E
Well I can see my teenage father standing

F#
straight on a desolate corner

G#
In the shadow of tenticled towers

A
by the red light of America

E F#
I imagine how his mother felt

G# E/F#
When she heard that her husband was dying

E F#
And the underground heroes of the tarmack

G#
shooting smack were blowing up worlds and

A
***ed out loud

E F# E/F#
Hey can you tell me how does it feel?


CHORUS 1:
E B
Tell me, can you imagine for a second

E/F# B
Doing anything that you don't have to

E B
Well that's what I'm accustomed to

E/F#
So hooray for me ... and *** you


(Repeat Intro)

VERSE 2:
When I slept with stony faces on the riverbank
My angeldevil reveler shook me desperately in dying
I don't exactly want to apologize for anything
And now, we're all mad and stranded in secret rooms
with Roman candles
On an endless graveyard train

Chorus 2:
Yeah tell me, can you imagine for a second
doing anything just 'cos you want to
Well that's just what I do so hooray for me...
and *** you

(Repeat Intro)


E D#
Yeah I was dreaming through the howzlife

C# B E
yawning car black on my mind(?) She told

F#
me mad and meaningless as ever

E D# C#
And a song came on my radio like a cemetery

B E F#
rhyme for a million crying corpses in their

E/F#
tragedy of respectable existence


Solo (Over chorus chords)


Chorus 3:
Yeah tell me, can you imagine for a second
trying half the things you ever wanted to
Well that's just what I do so hooray for me...
Oh yeah


CHORUS 4:
I'm not respectable, never sensible
maybe incredible, so *** irrascible
I like the things I do so hooray for me...
and *** you
