VERSE 1
[A] [A]
Try not to think so much about the truly staggering...
[E] [E7] [F#m]
amount of oil that it takes to make a record.
[B]
All the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining...
[E] [E7]
the high gloss. The tape and the gear.
[A] [A]
Try not to become too consumed with what's a criminal...
[E] [E7] [F#m]
volume of oil that it takes to paint a portrait.
[B]
The acrylic, the varnish, aluminum tubes filled...
[E] [E7]
with latex. The solvents and dye. Ohh oh ohh.
CHORUS 1
[F#m] [E] [E7] [E/C#] [[ch]E/C[/ch]] [E]
Lets just call this what it is.
[A] [A/F] [F#m]
The jealous side of mankind's death wish.
[F#m7] [B7]
When it's my time to go?
[E] [E7] [A]
I'm gonna leave behind things that won't decompose.
VERSE 1
[A] [A]
Try not to dwell so much upon how it won't be so very...
[E] [E7] [F#m]
long from now that that they laugh at us for selling
[B]
a bunch of 15 year olds made from dinosaur bones...
[E] [E7]
singing 'oh yeah' again and again right up til...
CHORUS 2
[F#m] [E] [E7] [E/C#] [[ch]E/C[/ch]] [E]
the end. Lets just call this what it is.
[A] [A/F] [F#m]
The jealous side of mankind's death wish.
[F#m7] [B7]
When it's my time to go?
[E] [E7] [A] [A/F]
I'm gonna leave behind things that won't decompose. Ohh oh ohh.
[F#m] [E] [E7] [E/C#] [[ch]E/C[/ch]] [E]
I'll just call this what it is.
[A] [A/F] [F#m]
A vanity gone wild with a crisis.
[F#m7] [B7]
One day this all will repeat.
[E] [E7] [A]
I sure hope they make something useful out of me.
