Verse 1
(G sharp minor7) A decade ago (E minoraj9)
I never thought I would be (D sharp minor7) at twenty-three
On the verge of spontaneous combustion
Woe-is-me
(C sharp minor7) But I guess that it comes (B major)
with the (F sharp minor) territory
(Dsus2) An ominous landscape
never ending calamity
(C sharp minor7) I need you to hear (G sharp minor)
I need you to see (E minoraj9)
that I have had all that I can take
And exploding seems like a definite
(D sharp minor7) possibiility (B major)
to (Asus2) me
(C sharpsus2)

And I saw a picture of a guy
fried up above his knee
(C sharp minor7) I said, "I can relate" (B major)
'cause (F sharp minor) lately I've been
(Dsus2) Thinking of combustication
as a welcomed vacation from
(C sharp minor7) The burdens of (G sharp minor) the planet earth (E minoraj9)
Like gravity, hypocrisy,
and the perils of being in 3-D
(D sharp minor7) But I'm (B major) thinking so much differently (Asus2)
Chorus 3
(C sharpsus2) So pardon me (Bsus2)
while (Asus2) I burst
in (E5) (F sharp5) to (E5) (F sharp5) (E5) (C sharpsus2) flames
I've had enough (Bsus2)
of (Asus2) the world
and (E5) it's (F sharp5) peo (E5) ple's
(F sharp5) mind (E5) less (C sharpsus2) games
So pardon me (Asus2)
while (Bsus2) I burst and rise above the (C sharpsus2) flame
Pardon me, (Asus2)
