Test, take one

So long, goodbye

I'll see you when I see you

You can pick the street

I'll meet you on the other side

Did I say that right?

Does anybody    want to joke

And I watch you next time?

[Outro]
Em
  Am I going crazy?
C
  Would I even know?
D                           G
  Am I right back where I started
     F#          Em
  fourteen years ago?
                  C
Wanna guess the ending?
                D
If it ever does
                     G
I swear to God that all
           F#
I've ever wanted was
    Em
A little bit of everything,
all of the time
   Am
A bit of everything,
all of the time
  G
Apathy's a tragedy,
and boredom is a crime
 B
I'm finished playing,
and I'm staying inside
C                     G
  If I wake up in a house
                   D
  that's full of smoke
                Em
I'll panic, so call me up
     D          C
and tell me a joke
                    G
When I'm fully irrelevant and
           D
totally broken, damn it
 Em              B         C
Call me up and tell me a joke
     G      Bm
Oh, shit, you're really joking
      Em         D
at a time like this?
 G            Am
Well, well, look who's inside again
  D
Went out to look for
     Em       D
a reason to hide again
  G           Am                D
Well, well, buddy, you found it
          Em
Now come out with your hands up
       Am         Cm   G
We've got you surrounded
