[Verse 1]
  C
I ain't that cool,
a little fcked in the head
            C
They'll be hangin' me quick
 when I'm back from the dead
         F
Get the rope, get the rope,
get the rope, get the rope
       C
I'm a punk rock kid,
I came from hell with a curse
               C
She tried to pray it away,
so I fcked her in church
            F
Don't you know? Don't you know?
 Don't you know?
Yeah don't you know?

[Pre-Chorus]
      C/E             F
They say "you're not safe here
        C           G/B
 if I stay with a knife
that sharp"
[Chorus]
    C
No way, no I leave the

[Verse 2]
      C
Yeah don't be fooling,
 I'm only letting you down
         C
They pursue me on foot,
 but I hid in the crowd
         F
Like a ghost, like a ghost,
 like a ghost, like a ghost
     C
The seats in my car filled
 with cigarette burns
         C
I got a fire in my eye,
a little blood on my shirt
               F
Let's hit the road,
hit the road, hit the road,
 hit the road
