Intro
C G F C x3
[C] [G] [F] [F]
Verse 1:
[C]Down on the corner of what I [F]want, and [G]what I tend to [C]get
[F]day drinking and [G]dreaming of you, I [C]let
the ashtray [G]smoke my last cigarette[F] [C]
[C]Once I had a [G]casual acq[F]uaintance with [G]my impending [C]doom
years ago she [G]promised me [C]some day soon
[G]I'd howl at the [F]moon from [G]room to room
Chorus:
I [G]ain't tran[F]scending much of [C]nothing
I've been [G]down in it, I ain't [C]free
Weren't no ex[Am]periment - these seven [C]years they went
like a [G]life out of [C]me-[G]e-[C]e-[F]e-e[F]
Verse 2:
[C]Clowning on the [G]corner of almost [C]gone but [G]maybe not just [C]yet
[C]there's still a [G]little left to [F]pawn and the [G]bones aren't [C]set
The [C]cast is [F]slack, the [G]plaster's [C]wet
[C]Stepping up the [G]escalator singing [F]hell I am out of [G]here
[C]past the [G]predetermined [C]termi[G]nals of [C]tears
the [F]wings are [C]warm, the [G]runway's [C]clear
Chorus:
I [G]ain't trans[F]cending much of [C]nothing
I'm still [G]down in it, I ain't [C]free
Weren't no ex[Am]periment - these seven [C]years they went
like a [G]life out of [C]me-[G]e-[C]e-[F]e-e[F]
[C]Maybe all the world's a h[G]ollow recreation, my [F]desperate [C]bretheren
[G]hallowed blue [C]hallucination we [F]play to [G]win
put your [G]right foot [F]out, put your [G]right foot [C]in
Bridge (x2, second time strum):
But it's a [C]useful little [F]illusion that'll [C]lose you [G]for a [F]song
in the [C]beautiful con[F]fusion you've been [C]down and coun[G]ting on[F]
Chorus
I [G]ain't trans[F]cending much of [C]nothing
I'm still [G]down in it, I ain't [C]free
Weren't no ex[Am]periment - these seven [C]years they went
like a [G]life out of [C]me-[G]e-[C]e-[F]e-e[F]
[C]Out on the corner what I [F]want, what [G]I tend to [C]get
[F]day drinking and [G]dreaming of you, I l[C]et
the ashtray [G]smoke my last cigarette[F] [C]
End on C
