Intro: A E D (4x)  


verse 1:  
A  
Time gets wasted  
every day I watch  
            D  
the minutes tick  
        F#m  
away My brain is  
        E  
melting like a  
          D  
chocolate ice cream  
         A  
bar Like characters  
on TV these people  
          D  
look like maggots  
      F#m  
to me and I wonder  
E  
what the hell is  
D  
wrong with me  


verse 2:  
A  
Milk fed little  
beauty queen  
she's straight  
         D  
out of a magazine  
    F#m  
she sits beside me  
E  
breathing different  
D  
air than me The  
A  
perfect generation  

sees that I'm  
         D  
infected with  
disease and  
F#m  
everything  
     E  
just crumbles  
and there's  
D  
nothing left  


 
     A  
If I wanna do  
something right  
        D  
I gotta do it  
myself or someone  
else will fuck it  
      A  
up It isn't all  
black and white  
and now it's  
E  
time to stop  
and figure  
out reality  
       A  
No one knows  
what they're  
talking about  
   D  
if what they're  
talking about  
don't making  
any sense to me  
  A  
I gotta figure  
             E  
it out cause I  
don't want something  
to believe in
