Sideways Skull Cifras

[Intro]
G# | G# | G# | G# |
G# | G# | G# | G# |
 
 
[Verse 1]
    A
She ordered me Newcastle
 
And handed me a Marlboro
 
Stuck a dove in my right hand
     G#
She took a quick picture
 
But even when we squinted
 
I didn't look so much like Robert Plant
 
 
[Verse 2]
             A
She flew a flag she made from a bedsheet
 
A sideways skull and a lopsided pentagram
     B
Said   asymmetrical's way more diabolical
     A                                       E
You don't want to make it look too perfect, man
      B
The trick is not getting cynical
            A                          E
She had a hairbrush mic and a fantasy band
    A                                   E
She opened up with We Are The Champions
      A                         E
Went right into Under my Wheels
        A                             N.C.
I was trying to figure out how I feel
 
 
[Chorus]
E                         D
    Faded denim with the buttons and badges
     A
    Laminates and backstage passes
     E                           D                A
    Jacket held together by the rock band patches
E                               D
    They let her smoke but she can't have matches
           B
    After last week's pyro disaster
E                              D                  A
    She'd like me better if I didn't wear glasses
 
 
[Instrumental]
G# | G# | G# | G# |
 
 
[Verse 3]
                A
She said we're gonna do a show at The Pyramids
 
She said she needs to take a call from her lawyers
     G#
Introduced me to the dudes that she's calling her crew
 
An assortment of sad self destroyers
         A
Sitting six to a table in the room off the kitchen
 
Telling stories about things they imagined
     B
Like after the show we got roofed on the Reeperbahn
 A                       E
Woke up in a video cabin
       B
I was rolling my eyes at the ritual lies
  A                               E  A  N.C.
Okay, maybe half of that happened
 
 
[Chorus]
         E
    She bites down on the the caplet
              D
    And the blood comes from her mouth
               A
    But it's hard to fully rock in a halfway house
E                                     D                    A
    The band would be better if they weren't such burnouts
E                              D
    The Beatle boots and the glam rock top hat
B
    Isn't gonna make any difference
E                        D             A
    It never works when no one listens
 
 
[Instrumental]

E    | E7 | C | Bm A | G# |

[Chorus]
E                         D
    Faded denim with the buttons and badges
     A
    Laminates and backstage passes
     E                           D
    Jacket held together by the rock band patches
A
    They let her smoke but she can't have matches
     E
    Bites down on the capsule and
          D
    The blood comes from her mouth
              B
    But it's hard to really rock in a halfway house
E                             D            A
    The pesky problem of the tepid turnout
 
 
[Chorus]
                 E
    I said I've got a band too
                       D
    We're called The Price of Progress
           A
    We've got a reputation as New Hampshire's hardest
E                                D
    Our singer's psycho and our fans are violent
    A
    Once they let me loose we're probably touring Europe
E                            D
    Morning meetings in the room off the kitchen
B
    New medication for the same old depression
E                        D             A
    It never works when no one listens
                   E                          D      A
    But it's sure nice to meet some fellow musicians
