 6    -6  -6 -6  -6 -6  -6   -4 -4 -4   5

Well I've opened up my veins too many times

-6  -6  -6 -6    -6 -6   4    4  -4 -4  5
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind

-6 -6    -6 -6   7    7      6  6    6  5   5
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride

-6  -7 -6  -6 7 -6    6    6 -4  -4  -4 5
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for li-es

-6 -6 -6 -6 -6’ -6’ -6  -7   7    -7  -6
Is  it any  wonder that my mind's on fire

 -6 -6 -6  -6 -6    -6’   -6’ -6  -7 7
Imprisoned by the thought of what to do

-6 -6 -6 -6 -6’ -6’ -6  -7   7    -6  -6
Is it  any  wonder that my joke's an iron

-6  -6   -6’  -6’ -6
And the jokes on you

6 -6 -6 -6  -6     -6   -4 -4 -4   5
Experiments that failed too many times

 -6 -6 -6 -6     -6   4    4   -4  -4  5
Transformations that were too hard to find


-6 -6    -6 -6   7    7      6  6    6  5   5
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride

-6  -7 -6  -6 7 -6    6    6 -4  -4  -4 5
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for li-es

-6 -6  -6  -6  -6’ -6’ -6 -7   7    -7  -7
Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind

 -6  -6 -6 -6  -6’ -6’ -6 -7   7
Their trinity acts  a mineral fire

-6 -6  -6  -6  -6’ -6’ -6 -7   7 -6 -6   -6
Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind

-6  -6 -6 -6’ -6’ -6’ -6’ -6’ -6
It's a flaming wonder telepath


[REPEAT 1ST VERSE AND CHORUS]

 

-6  -6   -6’  -6’-6 6
And the jokes on y-ou

[basically just repeat that until you get tired of it, then end with]:

-6  -6   -6’ 
And the joke--

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
