another band with no songs on UG..

the chords used are basically D, D/B, D/F#, and G. The real names are longer, but
i'll just use those above the text, because they're easier to read..

(riff)
Well you [D]read the books your father gave you,
[D/B]Ate the food your mother made you,
[D/F#]And left us all be[G]hind.
Now [D]growing up is always tough,
Cause [D/B]no one seems to know enough,
Like [D/F#]whether or not you are [G]fine.
Once upon a time they told you,
Everything in life will hold you
Up to the burning flame.
The arguments of lonely men,
With topics like estrogen,
Never far behind.
(riff)
[D]I?m going to breathe in for myself,
[D/B] Oxygen for my health,
[D/F#]Topic of grandeur,
And a [G]lonely lonesome lullaby.
I?m going to breathe in for myself,
Oxygen for my health,
Topic of grandeur,
And a lonely lonesome lullaby.
(riff)
Well you gave it up to please yourself,
Morals left right at the door,
Saw it as a means to an end.
Relying on the bathroom floor,
A picture frame, a fight for more,
It?s not easy to break free.
(riff x2)
I?m going to breathe in for myself,
Oxygen for my health,
Topic of grandeur,
And a lonely lonesome lullaby.
I?m going to breathe in for myself,
Oxygen for my health,
Topic of grandeur,
And a lonely lonesome lullaby.
then the riff is played over "Lonely lonesome lullaby" 4 times
enjoy
