WAKE-UP BOMB R.E.M.
From: Jesse Sage (jsage@fas.harvard.edu)
{Verse: E D A G}
E D
I look good in a glass pack
A G
I look good and mean
E D A G
I look good in metallic sick wraparounds blackout tease
E D A G
I scud along the horizon chew some sweet tree
E D
I get high in my low-ass boot cut cheap
A G
I like being seen
E D
I look good with my drink eat no sleep
A G
Take a leap, longevity
E D A G
I look good in my attitude, latitude, 1973
I'm in deep
C G C G C D
My head's on fire and high esteem
C G C G D
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
E D
Oh, the wake-up bomb
A G
Oh, the wake-up bomb
E D
Oh, the wake-up bomb
A G
Oh, the wake-up bomb
C G C G C D
My head's on fire and high esteem
C G C G D
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
C G C G D
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
C G C G D
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
I had to knock a few buildings over
I make an ugly mess
I had to blow a gasket
Drop transmission
I had to decompress
I had to write the great American novel
I had a neutron bomb
I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21
I wake up (I wake up)
I wake up (I wake up)
I threw up when I saw what I'd done
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
{Solo}: e -12----10---/--9----7--
b ----12-----/-----10----
I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
Yeah, atomic, Supersonic
What a joke, I'm dumb
See ya, don't wanna be you
Lunch meat, Pond scum
My head's on fire in high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
