Verse 1:
G#m           E
   A decade ago I never
                G#
thought I would be

A twenty three on the verge 

of spontaneous combustion
       C#m
Woe-is-me
                    B
But I guess that it comes 
                  D
with the territory

An ominous landscape of 
                   C#m
never-ending calamity
              G#m
I need you to hear
              E
I need you to see

That I have had 

all I can take

And exploding seems like a
 
definite 
C#m      B
possibility 
   A--
To me


Chorus 1:
C#m          B        A         F#m C#m
   So Pardon me while I burst into  flames
          B     A
I've had enough of the world
                 F#m      C#m
and its people's mindless games
          A  B
So Pardon me while I burn
    E     B     C#m
and rise above the flame
       A  B
Pardon me pardon me

I'll never be the same


G#m--E-- x2


Verse 2:
G#m              E
   Not two days ago I was 
         G#
having a look in a book

And I saw a picture of a
                       C#m
guy fried up above his knees
               B
I said I can relate
      
Cause lately I've been 
D
thinking of combustication 
                       C#m
as a welcomed vacation from
            G#m           E
The burdens of the planet earth

like gravity hypocrisy and 
              G#m         A
the perils of being in 3-D...
    B
And thinking so much
A--
differently
