"Self-Inflicted Drama"

Here is something other than goofy pet tunes . . .
[SONG]
{t:Self-Inflicted Drama}
{st:by, James McCormick, 1/19/2007}

The [F]paperwork is scattered, a [Em]plague within our walls
[Dm]hornets in the parlor, a [C]pestilence befalls
Got [F]weevils in my pockets [Em]gravel in my socks
A [Dm]kink within my spine, and [G]thoughts inside the box
{soc}
It's our [C]self-inflicted drama, [Am]vultures at a feast
Our [F]self-inflicted drama, we [G]revel in defeat  [G7]
[C]Self-inflicted drama darlin', [Am]scars that will remain
[F]Self-inflicted drama, the [G]mayhem . . . enter-[C]tains
{eoc}
[F]Festering resentment, e-[Em]motions run so high
Gonna [Dm]have to just stay thirsty this [C]well is long gone so dry
Got [F]leaks up on the roof and [Em]weeds up in the bed
[Dm]Hesitating engine and [G]noises in my head
{soc}
It's just [C]self-inflicted drama, the [Am]fury and the noise
It's [F]self-inflicted drama, a [G]chance to drop our poise  [G7]
[C]Self-inflicted drama, recrimi-[Am]nation is the key
[F]Self-inflicted drama, it might [G]finally . . . . set us [C]free.
{eoc}
It's a [F]messy situation, a [Em]dandy reeking crock
[Dm]Pay it some attention, work some [C]time on off the clock
'Tis a [F]dangerous intersection, [Em]someone's toughest call
[Dm]Can't play this game here un-[G]less you find the balls
{soc}
It's our [C]self-inflicted drama, an [Am]opera for fools
It's [F]self-inflicted drama, it's so [G]easy to be cruel  [G7]
[C]Self-inflicted drama, you'll [Am]take no refuge here
[F]Self-inflicted drama, let's [G]wallow . . . . in our [C]tears.
{eoc}
The [F]pattern keeps repeating, slow [Em]motion butchery
This [Dm]remake is so pointless, the [C]end is clear to see
The [F]debts are all past overdue, [Em]justice still delayed
We [Dm]both are far too terrified to ad-[G]mit we are afraid
{soc}
Let's do [C]self-inflicted drama, honey [Am]rip my dignity
This [F]self-inflicted drama shall [G]bring us to our knees  [G7]
[C]Self-inflicted drama babe, the [Am]tatters of our pride
[F]Self-inflicted drama, there is [G]not . . . a winning [C]side
{eoc}
The [F]foundation crumbles, [Em]fundamental flaws
The [Dm]meter is still running, [C]clenched between our jaws
Though [F]tenderness is missing we're [Em]comin' back for more
You [Dm]probably are winning but I've stopped [G]keeping score
{soc}
It's all [C]self-inflicted drama, such [Am]cherished enemies
This [F]self-inflicted drama, ha-[G]bitual disease  [G7]
[C]Self-inflicted drama sweety,[Am]danglin' on our hooks
[F]Self-inflicted drama, stop [G]givin' me . . . that [C]look
{eoc}
The [F]vintage has gone bitter, dere-[Em]lict upon the sands
We're [Dm]lost within a wilderness, [C]trackless barren land
[F]Keepsakes dashed upon the curb, [Em]memories awry
[Dm]Precious dreams lay trampled with unsung [G]lullabys
{soc}
It's all [C]self-inflicted drama, conse-[Am]quence of simple rules
It's [F]self-inflicted drama, we [G]play the parts we choose  [G7]
[C]Self-inflicted drama, baby [Am]flail about and scream
[F]Self-inflicted drama, please just [G]end . . . . this crazy [C]scene.
{eoc}
