--------------INTRO-----------

A			     A					E
Every day after work, on the drive back home I swear I think of killing myself
             E				  A
Maybe drive off a bridge or into oncoming traffic. 
A
But if someone got hurt that'd be super bad
A					E
And yeah my mom sure would be sad if I killed myself
	      E					    A
Maybe I would go to hell, now wouldn't that just be dramatic?

	       
[Rhythmically] A
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

--------------VERSE-----------

A
All of my hope's deserted me

A
This ain't how life's supposed to be

	   E
Oh with me still so young

			A
I've got a silver tongue

A
The one I love she works so hard

A
But if I died I swear she'd starve

	      E
Oh yeah she'd die from grief

			      A
And I'd say "where's the beef?"

--------------PRE-CHORUS-----------
(Not included in recording)

	     G
Yeah I guess everything is frightful

         A
When you don't know what you want

     G
Your mind can feel all clouded

	    A
When you're lost within a thought

	G
"You're just not thinking clearly
   
  	A
Be more proud of what you've got."

		E
And just don't die

		E       A		
Yeah you'll be fine....


--------------CHORUS---------------


	  A					    A
So I say bring on the problems, I'll just bury them fast

             A					 A
Give me some more, maybe hell, maybe this one here will last

	   E			      E
Unlike the other ones. Yeah they were just for fun

	  A					    A
Oh yeah bury me somewhere where there's lots of shade

             A					     A
I think I'll need a little comfort from the pouring rain

	      E			         E		A
You know I'm in the dirt.  I guess some love can't hurt


--------------VERSE-----------


A
All of my hope's deserted me

A
This ain't how life's supposed to be

	   E
Oh with me still so dumb

			A
Come on and make me numb

A
And if this song can touch your heart

A
I hope it did it from the start

	   E
You know I hate your pain

			 A
But I feel just the same.


--------------PRE-CHORUS-----------
(Not included in recording)

	     G
Yeah I guess everything is frightful

         A
Cause I don't know what I want

     G
My mind is just all clouded

	    A
And these drugs are all I've got

	  G
"You can tell us anything
   
  	 A
You know we love you a lot."

		E
Too bad you'll die

		E       A		
Should I be fine?....


--------------CHORUS---------------

Am					C
Well there once was a man named Seventeen
F				C
He ain't worked real hard, but he make ends meat
F				C
A real salt of the Earth man, guaranteed
E
To just die some day


Am
Cause he ain't done much
	C
But he's worked with the land
	    F				C
He's loved more people than one man can
F					C
He's a son of a bitch, you understand
E
A real handsome boy


Am
Well he ain't got a wife
C
Misunderstood, 
		F				C
he ain't loved one-another as the book said he should
		F				C
He's got his problems and demons it's understood
E
But he's a good man


F
Well hell's froze over
G
it's an ordinary town
Am
Where the people talk in circles 
C
and where no one wears a frown

F
But it's not just people
G

Am
I've got people in my mind
C
But man them people they just ain't you

F, G, Am

Am					C
Well I met me a woman on the interstate
F							C
She said she's leaving all her feelings when she goes out late
F						C
Says she leaves her ole boy to just sit and wait
		E
A real go getter


Am					C
But I bet you a dollar in golden lead
F					C
That man hurts inside more than one man can
F					C
Hurts like a son-of-a-bitch, you understand
		E
And it's in you

Am					C
Cause I seen you walk and I seen you talk
F						C
Seen you outlined on the pavement in brittle chalk
F						C
Seen the hurtin' in the eyes of the one who lost
		E
And you got that


F
Well hell's froze over
G
it's an ordinary town
Am
Where the people talk in circles 
C
and where no one wears a frown

F
But it's not just people
G
it's the television too
Am
I've got people in my mind
C
But man them people they just ain't you

I Saw Your Body In The Mirror (Acoustic)

Made this at work one day.  Messed up a bit on the second chorus, but it's fun to show off regardless.

Eye of The Tiger (Demo Cover)

Sneakers crawling up the wayside
And down the guttered lanes
Stealing cadavers from the grapevines
And dropping in the flames

Ooh I thought that we were a little bit closer
Ooh I'm breaking up and losing composure
Ooh I'm begging for a little bit of a closer
Ooh I'm taking on more than I can shoulder

Broke it off before the weekdays
To give ourselves some time
But my life is ever sideways
Without our paridagm

Ooh the moss has grown a little bit thicker
Ooh on that boulevard where you became a killer
Ooh He'll keep you warm in the month of December
Ooh come on clap your hands, the devil loves a sinner

And I buried my soul
In a body so low
That I can't dig it out
So spade up my friends
And tonight we will chant
Our "Burrow Euphony"

Break (Full Band)

Scratch (Proof of Concept)

I am a snowball in hell
I am a Jew in 40's Germany
I am a Trump supporter downtown in Los Angeles
I am a snowball in hell

I know you're sick but oh well
It's not a thing they cure too easily
I'm afraid you're born this way.  Afraid until you die.
I know you're sick but oh well.

But if all's right we're still melting in the end
That's what I want
It gives me comfort.
We all fight but it does no good to pretend
It's not like I was ever offered
But if you die, I hope you know we were friends
It's not much, but it's comfort
It's all right if this car just flips at the bend
Oh fuck I'm scared.  Hold my hand dear.

You are a snowball in hell
Oh witch during the Salem witch trials
A muslim living in Europe during the crusades
You are a snowball in hell

But not for who tolls the bell
The proper grammar is to ask for whom
Before you build your own Montressor wall
Let's crack that cask for a spell

But if all's right we're still melting in the end
That's what I want
It gives me comfort.
We all fight but it does no good to pretend
It's not like I was ever offered
But if you die, I hope you know we were friends
No it's not much, but it's comfort
It's all right if this car just flips at the bend
Of course I'm scared.  Hold my hand dear.

I'LL REVIEW ANYTHING
