Standard (EADGBE)

 Morning feels like a drag

 When you're all messed up

 Ain't got nobody to pick you up

 And the phone don't ring like it used to do

 All those you thought your friends

 well they turned on you

 Like a stone you've thrown your life to turns

A E (on the low E string)

of fancy and of flight

 It's a liiiiiiiie.

 It's a lie.

 So you believe what they say

 With all their guilded praise

 You string up your accolades

 They string up your viens

 They like to push you up

 But they won't let you go

 They keep a tight keep a tight hold on you

 Just to let you know

 That they'll always be your lover

 And you'll never know the crime

 It's a liiiiiiiiie

(n/c)

Break me down to blood and grit

 It's a liiiiiiiiie

(n/c)

Monkey blood and jinkie spit

 It's a liiiiiiiiie

(n/c)

Elevate my pedestal

 It's a liiiiiiiiie

(FILL)

  Touch me baby - does anybody want me

  Feel me baby - I still got that same old feeling bruning inside

  Her me now - does anybody hear me

  Remember me - remember me

(solo over main D-D#-E riff)

 And you think back to the time

 When you could never ever get too high

 It's a liiiiiiiiie

(n/c)

Break me down to blood and grit

 It's a liiiiiiiiie

(n/c)

Monkey blood and jinkie spit

 It's a liiiiiiiiie

(n/c)

Elevate my pedestal

 I wanna take you higher...

 I wanna take you higher...
