I wanna [G]scream it from my foaming [Cmaj7]mouth
B* F/A
Shoot out the lights and ride away-e-a-e-a
[Cmaj7]
[Am]I'm at my [F]worst when I'm [G]at my [Cmaj7]best
[Am]I'm at my [F]best when I'm [G]trying to [Cmaj7]look and think and talk
B* F/A
And sing and read and write like all the rest
We're all just [G]trying to play our r[Am]oles
In a [Dm]play that runs ad [F]nauseum
I [G]hate this damned enlighten[Cmaj7]ment
B* F/A
We were better off as animals

[Am]From our [F]hips we don't [G]give a [Cmaj7]shit
B* F/A
It just feels good, and that's no sin
It's the [G]only way to feel [Am]alive
It's the closest [Dm]thing to being born [F]again
And when [G]baby comes it's job well [Cmaj7]done

Roll in the hay, or a roll around the sun
[Cmaj7]
[Am]We're at our [F]worst when it's [G]from our [Cmaj7]lips
[Am]From our [F]lips we ca[G]used a r[Cmaj7]ift
B* F/A
And this world is falling in
From B[G]abylon to barroom br[Am]awls
Our [Dm]words have formed a death [F]sentence
And I [G]wish that we had never [Cmaj7]talked

Our hips said it all-a-all-a-all-a-all
[Cmaj7]
| Am F G Cmaj7 | Am F G Cmaj7 |
| B* F/A | G Am |
| Dm F |
And I [G]wish that we had never [Cmaj7]talked
B* F/A
Our hips said it all-a-all-a-all-a-all
Cmaj7 (ad nauseum)
end on Cmaj7.
