REFRAIN:

[(D) (D7) (G) (G7) (D)] x 2

rodents burrowing underground…
human nature to fool around…

(D) (D7) (Am) (G)

our very nature renders us…

(Em) (Am) (D)

think i might be better off this way…

(Em) (C) (D)

think i might be better off this way…

*INTRO*

yea…you blew it…
you blow…
you fuckin suck…

we (always) knew it…
and now you know…

you’re lamer than a duck
in a lame duck presidency…

.

i’m only trying to survive sir…
blowing like the wind…
on a cold and rainy day…
i think i might be better off this way…
yea i think i might be better off this way…

for in the presence of the lord…
i’ll blow away…
(you’ll be left with nothing left to say)

soon i’m gonna fall down to my knees…
(and pray for rain again)

sleeping with the stones…

.

.

*SOLO*
(over “you blew it…” verse)

in the presence of the lord…
on a most godawful day…

.

.

*OUTRO*

like rodents
burrowing underground
when there’s overcasted skies

it’s human nature to fool around
so i guess i’m not surprised

our very nature
renders us incapable
of calling out to say:

“i think i might be better off this way…”
