As recorded by Hurray for the Riff Raff

[Intro]
A  Dmaj7  A  Dmaj7
A  Dmaj7  A  Dmaj7
 
 
[Verse 1]
A               Dmaj7
This is not a scene
               A      Dmaj7
It's a pyramid scheme
A               Dmaj7
This is not a joke
                      A  Dmaj7
There's a hole in the boat
 
 
[Verse 2]
              A                 Dmaj7
And you could paint your portal on the wall
           A                Dmaj7
With the intention to break through
          A                  Dmaj7
But every time you bang your head against it
A           Dmaj7               A  Dmaj7  A  Dmaj7
Tiny little pieces fall out of you
 
 
[Verse 3]
A                  Dmaj7          A
Everybody wants to play Billy the Kid
                Dmaj7       A
Nobody wants to be Calamity Jane
               Dmaj7           A
I wish I could break into your heart
               Dmaj7         A     Dmaj7  A  Dmaj7
I wish I could sleep in your brain
 
 
[Verse 4]
A                    Dmaj7
Darby Crash and the iconoclast
    A                Dmaj7
And Frida Kahlo in a black ski mask
       A              Dmaj7
We all rode into your virtual town
         A                 Dmaj7        A  Dmaj7  A  Dmaj7
With the intention just of burning it down
 
 
[Bridge]
      Bm                            Dmaj7
And I don't know who you want me to be
      Bm                       Dmaj7
And I don't know and that terrifies me
Bm                        Dmaj7
Don't know what you want, don't know what I want
Bm                            E    A
Don't know what you want from me-e-e-e
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
Dmaj7  A  Dmaj7
 
 
[Bridge]
            A                     Dmaj7
Hey, do you want it to last it forever?
        A                  Dmaj7
I don't want it to last forever
                A                       Dmaj7
We'll keep your breakdown encased in leather
        A                  Dmaj7
I don't want it to last forever, forever
   A                 Dmaj7
Forever, forever, forever, forever
   A                 Dmaj7
Forever, forever, forever, forever
   A                 Dmaj7
Forever, forever, forever, forever
   A                 Dmaj7
Forever, forever, forever, forever
 
 
[Chorus]
A               Dmaj7
This is not a scene
               A      Dmaj7
It's a pyramid scheme
A               Dmaj7
This is not a scene
               A      Dmaj7  A  Dmaj7  A  Dmaj7
It's a pyramid scheme
 
 
[Outro]
    A                       Dmaj7
(Forever, forever, forever, forever
A                 Dmaj7            A
Forever, forever, forever, forever)
