Self-fulfilling Fallacy

Capo III

Intro: G - C - / F G C - /

Oh, don't you know

we're living in the end times?

Oh, can't you see

the prophecy has come to be?

Oh, don't you know

we're all gonna die.

Ho, hum, hum.

Sigh, sigh, sigh.

G - C - / F - G - :|| (3x)

F - Fm - / G - C - /

Take a look at the world today.

Just take a look at the news.

Armageddon will be here before we know.

You can try to find some joy, but it's no use.

G - C - / Em - Fm - / G - C - / F G C - /

I guess there's nothing left to do,

but crawl under a rock and cry.

None of it seems to make any sense,

but I guess God doesn't need a reason why.

It might have been better if I'd never been born.

My life has been such a drag.

Things have just gone from bad to worse.

Might as well call up the hearse.

Don't you even try to cheer me up.

You ought to know that cause is lost.

I've been hanging on to this all my life.

I'm never coming down off this cross.

Chip Off the Old Block

I've got a chip on my shoulder

and my heart on my sleeve.

I bitch and moan.

I sob and grieve.

Life is a toil, I do believe.

I've got a chip on my shoulder

and my heart on my sleeve.

Capo II

F Am / Em Am / / / F Am / / Em Am /

(F Am / Em Am )

I was born into a cushy life.

I never had any sorrow or strife.

Never had any struggles from which to learn.

I've got a lot of stuff I never had to earn.

F Am / Em Am :||

Can't you see what a hell it is

to be me? I feel so sad.

I've had everything I could ever want,

but I never wanted anything that I had.

Oh, if only I had been oppressed!

Might have built up some character, I'd feel so blessed.

Might have grown into a man standing proud and tall.

I could have been the one tearing down those walls.

Don't you know I finally got my wish?

My wife up and left, said she'd had enough.

Now there's only one thing left to do—

—I'm going down to the bridge, and I'm gonna jump.

Another Last Farewell

The floorboards creak underfoot,

a shotgun shoves into his back.

He says, “I'd know that barrel anywhere;

I wouldn't blame you if you pulled that trigger back.”

Capo II

Am DmAm / Am GAm :||

She said, “I knew it was you right away;

I could tell by that crooked, old gait.

When you left I was mad as hell;

you were gone before I was even awake.

“You're lucky I've had time to cool,

or I'd have already laid you in your grave;

and you know you can't be creeping in this way—

—it's just too big of a risk to take.”

Another last farewell,

one more sad goodbye,

caught under the spell

of a love that just won't die.

F Am / G Am :||

In her day, Lightnin' Lizzie

turned many a young man's head.

She spun them around, and she was gone;

and they were left alone in bed.

She never let any of them in,

so they could never cause her any pain.

Until she met up with Fast Freddie,

and he beat her at her own game.

When Freddie left, Lizzie was lost;

that's how she ended up with Big Bill.

If she couldn't have the only one she loved,

she'd settle for the house on the hill.

But Freddie just couldn't seem to stay away;

he'd grow weary just rambling around.

He'd get the need to see Lizzie's face,

and he would saunter back in to town.

He knew that his life was on the line—

—he knew Big Bill was the jealous sort,

but he still had the nerve like a thief in the night

to sneak on in through Lizzie's back door.

Repeat chorus

One dark night it happened

like they always knew that it would.

Lying in bed, she heard the gunshot;

Lizzie understood.

A final last farewell,

the saddest goodbye,

and Lizzie fears her tears

will never dry.
