Standard (EADGBE)
All you want to do is something good
So get ready to be ridiculed and misunderstood
'Cause don't you know that you're a fucking freak in this world
In which everybody's willing to choose swine over pearls
And maybe everything is all for nothing
Still you'd better keep it to yourself
'Cause God knows it's not safe with anybody else 2x
You can take your own advice and try again
But a thousand compromises don't add up to a win
And they'd be happy if you'd only cover your tracks
But the trail of crumbs you've left won't help you find your way back
So maybe everything is all for nothing
Still you'd better keep it to yourself
'Cause God knows it's not safe with anybody else 3x
'Cause God knows it's not safe with anybody
You can play along, but you'll just end up wrong somehow won't you
Solo
2x
But you're the idiot who keeps believing in luck
And you just can't get it through your head that no one else gives a fuck
So maybe everything is all for nothing
Still you'd better keep it to yourself
'Cause God knows it's not safe with anybody else 3x
Solo 2
A Em D 5 x
(quietly)
Ah ah ah ah 2x
(picks back up)
Ooo oo oo oo oo
God knows it's not safe with anybody else
Ooo oo oo oo oo
It's not safe with anybody else
Ooo oo oo oo oo
God knows it's not safe with anybody else
Ooo oo oo oo oo
(Play that guitar)
(sparkly)
2x
But you're the idiot who keeps believing in luck
(jazz clarinet solo in Em)
The speaker is out of the picture
I'm talking to the microphone
The microphone thinks that I'm talking
But I'm not talking at all
I'm singing to you)
