[Verse]
       D
It was quite early one morning
G
Hit me without warning
   D                       G
I went to hear the general speak
      A
I was standing for the anthem
G
Banners all around him
   F#m                   G
Confetti made it hard to see
       D
Put my footsteps on the pavement
G
Starved for entertainment
     D                    G
Four seasons of revolving doors
   A
So sick of being honest
     G
I'll die like Dylan Thomas
  F#m                    G
A seizure on the barroom floor

[Chorus]
            D                A       G
I’m getting greedy with this private hell
            D                A       G
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

[Verse]
      D
These cats are scared and feral
    G
The flag pins on their lapels
    D                   G
The truth is anybody’s guess
      A
These talking heads are saying
     G
"The king is only playing
  F#m                      G
a game of four dimensional chess"

[Verse]
        D
There's flowers in the rubble
    G
The weeds are gonna tumble
    D                        G
I'm lucid but I still can't think
    A
I'm strapped into a corset
G
Climbed into your corvette
    F#m                 G
I'm thirsty for another drink

        D
If it's advertised, we'll try it
    G
And buy some peace and quiet
    D                       G
And shut up at the silent retreat
     A
They say you’ve gotta fake it
   G
At least until you make it
     F#m                      G
That ghost is just a kid in a sheet

[Chorus]
            D             A     G
I’m getting used to these dizzy spells
             D             A       G
I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel
            D                A       G
I’m getting greedy with this private hell
            D                A       G
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well
