[Verse 1]
C                    D   Eb        D  C           Bb
There's a specter in the corner of an illustrated page
      C            D  Eb            D Ab            Bb
And a lonesome muted stripling with a rapt remedial gaze
    C       D  Eb               D   C             Bb
The poverty of his language and the wealth of his emotion
          C           D Eb       D   Ab        Bb
Bring him endless murky musings and unexpected frustration
 
 
[Chorus]
Ab                      Bb
Angst and madness weave the fabric of his life
Ab                      Bb
Tomorrow might be better but right now it feels like
 
[The Fun Bit]
 
Go ape shit! Whammys, dives, harmonics, bends, mutes, slides, anything and everything!

C                D         Eb           D   C                   Bb
There's a panther wild and proud behind the doors of a redolent cage
       C            D Eb      D Ab                              Bb
And an underdeveloped intellect filled with impotent and static rage
    C           D      Eb   D C                Bb
And don't think you're exempt if you earn good weekly wages
C                       D   Eb      D Ab              Bb
Cause your neighbor's going crazy and insanity's contagious
 
 
[Chorus]
Ab                Bb
I know there's so much you want to say
         Ab                         Bb
But your tongue gets in the way and sometimes it feels like

[Verse 3]
Ab                Bb
I know there's so much you want to say
Ab                        Bb
   And the tumbrel of your mind gets in the way
Ab                        Bb
   It's the same for everybody to degrees
       Ab                        Bb
We all get that foggy freeze and sometimes it feels like
