Chorus:
 G           C                  Em             A
Don't don't don't let's start -   this is the worst part

Em   /   Em+maj7     G                   A                 D
  could believe for all the world that you're my precious little girl but

 G           C                  Em            A
don't don't don't let's start -   I've got a weak heart

    G              C            A         D
and I don't get around how you get around

|: G           C                F                 D                :|
When you are alone you are the cat, you are the phone, you are an animal
the words I'm singing now mean nothing more than meow to an animal
wake up - smell the cat food in your bank account
don't try to stop the tail that wags the hound

Em                    F
D world destruction - O ver and overture

G                        C      /    C7
N do I need - apostrophe-T need this torture


(Chorus)


2.
No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful
everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful
they want what they're not and I wish they would stop saying
deputy dog dog a ding dang depa depa
deputy dog dog a ding dang depa depa

D world destruction - O ver and overture
N do I need - apostrophe-T need this torture


(Chorus)


Bridge:
|: D                -            -         - :|
   I don't want to live in this world any more
I don't want to live in this world


(Chorus)


Coda:   Em/Em+maj7  Em+dom7/Em+6   D   G
