[Verse 1]
       E              
Like a tiger they will 
                A
chase you down
          E                  A
With words instead of claws
          E              
They will seduce til you 
                 A
reach the point
            E                 A
To let yourself get mauled
             E                 
The worse reality gets the less 
                           A
you want to hear about it
E
Solidatary can be difficult
                    A
When you've got cool stuff to los

E
I wanna be a 7-foot zombie
A
Pay is low but I gotta do something
E
I'm at the mall, song is bumping
       A
I've got my future wife in
 a little red jump suit

[Chorus]
E
I'm goin' away to the country
A
Don't wander off too far
E                       A
I'm going out my mind
E
Throwin' all my plans out the window
A
Don't wanna waste my life
E                              A
I'll see you on the other side

[Bridge]
E A

   E                    
I've been thinking about '
                   A
what I wanna say
             E
But I'm an old man now
A
At least what they tell me anyway
      E                
We've been expanding on
                A
 our greatness
            E           A
Building future ruins
     E
We're building castles from 
old and dead trees
A
Molded from the shedded ashes'
 of the dead sea

E
I moved away to the country
A
I had to change my way
E                             A
But I kinda miss it now
E
Stock brokers flying out the window
A
I kinda miss that sound
E                          A
Don't wanna wake up Pa

[Chorus]
E
I'm going back to the city
A
I'm out to lose my mind
E                        A
I'm going to stay alive
E
I'm climbing out through 
the window
A
I miss the shops and malls
E                        A
I'm gonna meet you there
E
Still throwing my phone
 out the window
A
I'm gonna soothe my soul
E                            A
Can't wait, I'm going shopping
    E                       
If you're better than me you 
                        A
don't have to judge me
