C
My head is pounding
G
I can't stop the pounding
Am
F
I think it is going to explode
C
G
And kill everybody who's in close proximity
Am
F
to the place I call my home
C
And they'll make a moving
G
made- for- TV movie
Am
F
for Lifetime all about my life
C
That ends with an epitaph
G
one that will make you laugh
Am
F
That says "great mom, okay wife"
C
G
And it'll be funny to the people who know me
Am
F
Who know if my body's not burned
C
G
My soul will spend an eternity in misery
Am
F
Tethered and bound to this earth
C
G
So I'm not a dick or a stick in the mud
Am
F
always ruining things for my friends
C
G
I mustn't forget when I see the sun set
Am
F
that tomorrow it will rise again
Chorus 1

So I tattoo instructions on my ass

Burn it and put the ashes in a basket
C
G
Am
And throw them in the Puget Sound
C
G
Am
I don't ever want to be underground"

Bridge 1
C
G
Am
F
I'm wearing size thirteen basketball shoes
C
G
And laugh at your fishnets
Am
F
I'm freaked out and fucked up
C
G
And I'm standing alone
Am
F
in an alley with you
C
G
Am
F
Wanting to show you a cure for your hiccups
C
G
Am
F
But instead I close my eyes
C
G
The needles are numbered
Am
F
so I'm writing you letters
C
G
Am
F
And I cannot disguise
C
G
The fact that I'm nervous
Am
F
when we are together
C
G
Am
F
And so I fantasize
C
G
That the nights will get shorter
Am
F
and the days will get better
C
G
Am
F
I feel a kick inside and sigh
C
G
Am
F
If this is a girl I'm naming her Heather
C
G
She'll look just like you
Am
F
but her hair will be feathered
C
G
She'll say how you died
Am
F
F
before you ever met her
F
F
Her hair will be

Verse 2
C
My head is pounding
G
I can't stop the pounding
Am
F
I think it is going to explode
C
G
There are plus and minuses to sinusitis
Am
F
Like sometimes I get to go home
C
G
But mostly it hurts so bad I think I'm dying
Am
I just blew my nose
F
and now I feel like crying
C
G
And the dreams I have are all of my past lives
Am
And the seizures would paralyze
F
me in the night
C
G
And I wake up clutching my teddy bear tight
Am
F
and I'm drooling and trying to turn on the light
C
G
All I can do is hold fast and sit tight
Am
But what if they forget
F
'cause you know they just might
