C               F
bitter fish in crude oil sea
A                D
you don't have to bother me
G                Eb            F   G
you just have to join on this song

C               F
crawling people on your knees
A                  D

G                Eb              F    G
You just have to hum it all day long

F        C
to dine, alone
   F       G       A
to build a private zone
F            C
or trigger a synapse
    F                G
and free us from our traps

C                F
you won't see me turn my back
A                D
with my head against my stack
G                 Eb           F    G
spinning deep and broken open skin

C                 F
official ironman you are free
A            D
champions officially, but
G                  Eb          F    G
you won't catch me on an open chin

F        C
to dine, alone
   F       G       A
to build a private zone
F            C
or trigger a synapse
    F                G
and free us from our traps

C                 F
knockout punches for the freaks
A                   D
happy little babies with red cheeks
G                  Eb             F    G
you will rock them gently out of sync

C               F
confirmations through the wire
A               D
spitting gas into the fire
G            Eb         F    G
am i also worthy of a drink?

F        C
to dine, alone
   F       G       A
to build a private zone
F            C
or trigger a synapse
    F                G
and free us from our traps
