[Verse 1]
[D]          [Bm]
Animals on TV singing
[E]
about some pain that they once felt
[D]                [Bm]            [E]
There's no one I disapprove of more, or root for more than myself
[D]              [Bm]               [E]
I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone
[D]              [Bm]             [E]                             (let ring)
I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone

[Bm]   [A]        [F#m]       [E]
So we talk about ourselves in hell
[Bm]      [A]       [F#m]   [E]
To forget the love we never felt
[Bm]    [E]        [A]    [D]  [C#m]
All the old jokes that work so well
[Bm]          [E]          [A]
Universal truth was a moment's lie

[F#]                [C#]
Don't try to stop us
[E]                 [B]
Don't try to stop us
[D]                 [A]
Don't try to stop us
[A]                [C#]
Get out of the way

[D]             [Bm]                     [E]
Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see
[D]                          [Bm]                   [E]
She sees her father in the old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs
[D]          [Bm]          [E]
Animals on TV singing about some they may felt at some point
[D]                [Bm]              [E]                                (let ring)
I didn't want to tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous, what's the point?

[Bm]          [A]      [F#m]    [E]
As I watched the velvet drapes appear
[Bm]       [A]          [F#m]    [E]
And the door was closed for forty years
[Bm]        [E]        [A]     [D]  [C#m]
As we hide what we don't wanna hear
[Bm]          [E]      [A]      [D]  [C#m]
As we hide what's really in our ears

[Bm]     [A]      [F#m]     [E]
He is coming from a part of hell
[Bm]        [A]          [F#m]     [E]
Where lightning blue eyes don't go down well
[Bm]        [A]     [F#m]   [E]
He can't tell that we're oblivious
[Bm]      [A]     [F#m]     [E]
It's addiction of routine as well

[Bm]        [E]      [A]       [D]   [C#m]
Making fools out of the best of us
[Bm]     [E]      [A]       [D]   [C#m]
Making robots of the rest of us
[Bm]   [E]         [A]      [D]  [C#m]
Innocence itself in America today
[Bm]         [E]           [A]       [D]
There's a crime just like Cornel West might say

[F#]                [C#]
Don't try to stop us
[E]                 [B]
Don't try to stop us
[D]                 [A]
Don't try to stop us
[A]                [C#]
Get out of the way
