This song is on the Everything to Everyone CD. I hope they will make a single
out of this out because it is just brilliant.
Thanks to a guy named Dave Patthews for his work on the song. My version is
basically his first tab with some corrections.
No capo and standard tuning. Any corrections are welcome !

1st Verse
---------
I'm not surprised it's come to this
Sooner or later there must be another's kiss
Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss, yeah great
I won't be takin' the bait
I'd rather drown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down
2nd Verse
---------
Imagine everything you've done
Under a microscope on view for everyone
And if the King of Circumspection's here he's come in vain
I won't be sharing the blame
I wear the crown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down
Chorus
------
Nothing's good enough for me
To shake me from complacency
I make my mind up and I'll never be
3rd Verse
---------
The kind of man who'd make a choice
For if I hold my tongue I'll never lose my voice
If each attempted act of sabotage destroys all hope
I won't be needing a rope
I'm gagged and bound
And I will not turn my whole life upside down
Bridge

Riff 01
Asus2 E Riff 01
And if the genie were set free
Asus2 E Riff 01
And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me
I'd bury my three wishes deep down in the ground
So I will not turn my whole life upside down
Solo

4th Verse
---------
Though I appreciate the aim
Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fame
I'd only use it to make everything the same again
So don't applaud till the end
I'm not around
Cause I will not turn my whole life upside down
Chorus
------
Nothing's good enough for me
To shake me from complacency
I make my mind I won't make a sound
So they will not turn my whole life upside down
So they will not turn my whole life upside down
