Okay this is a good song, one of my favourites but there are a lot of chords and
we all know what Incubus are like for switching to tonic keys and having odd
changes so bear with it, I'm pretty sure this is near accurate. You can play the
chords either as power chords or as the full barre, for example; C#5 or C#m.

Pre-Verse:
Pardon me while I burst
E5(7) B5(7)
... (Wo-oah's)
Verse:
A decade ago,
I never thought I would be,
at twenty-three, on the verge of
spontaneous combustion. -Woe-is-me.-
But I guess that it comes
with the territory,
An ominous landscape of
never-ending calamity.
I need you to hear,
I need you to see
that I have had all I can take and
exploding seems like an imminent possibility
to me
Chorus:
So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!
Ab5 (x2) xx (x2) E5 (x2) xx (x2)
Verse:
Not two days ago,
I was having a look
in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy
fried up above his knee.
I said, "I can relate,"
cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcome vacation from
the burdens of
the planet Earth.
like gravity, hypocrisy,
and the perils of being in 3-D...
but thinking so much differently.
Chorus:
So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!
Never be the same, yeah...
E5(2)
Pardon me, while I burst into flames...
E5(7) B5(7)
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
Chorus:
So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!
Never be the same, yeahh!!
