Bass/Rhythm Guitar:

[Intro]

C D Em x4

 

[Verse 1]

        C         D

Cut up photos of you

 Em

Glued in my eyelid

    C         D

My tongue is sour

    Em

And I'm always sick

           C           D

Want your shoe-shined nimples

          Em

And your sunburned neck

     C         D

You taste like butter

  Em                  C     D Em

Delightfully induce nausea

 

[Verse 2]

          C        D

Getting closer to living

     Em

Than anyone gets

           C             D

Taste the blood from my lips

          Em

So you'll always feel sick

              C             D

And leave my mouth full of spit

 Em

Yours and you alone

               C         D

We're getting closer to heaven

     Em

Than anyone gets

 

C D Em x4

 

[Chorus]

   C             D        Em *

I think I'm in dreamland

   C              D        Em

I think we're in dreamland

   C             D        Em

I think this is dreamland

           C          D           Em

Because I wanna have fun all the time

 

[Outro]

 

C D Em x4

 

*If you have yet another guitar, the record has this little riff over all the Em's in the chorus.
