["My Brain Hurts"]
[ A / E / D ] x4 (with lead)
[Verse]
(pm)
Time gets wasted every day, I watch the minutes tick away
My brain is melting like a chocolate ice cream bar
(pm)
Like characters on TV these people look like maggots to me
And I wonder what the hell is wrong with me
[ A / E / D ] x2 (with lead)
[Verse]
Milk-fed little beauty queen, she's straight out of a magazine
She sits beside me breathing different air than me
Perfect generation sees that I'm infected with disease
And everything just crumbles and there's nothing left
[Chorus]
If I wanna do something right
I gotta do it myself cause someone else will fuck it up
It isn't all black and white
And now it's time to stop and figure out reality
No one knows what they're talking about
If what they're talking don't make any sense to me
I gotta figure it out
Cause I don't want something to believe in
[Solo is played over these chords:]
[ / / / ] x2
[ / / ] x4
[Repeat Chorus]
My brain hurts, my brain hurts, my brain hurts today
My brain hurts, my brain hurts, my brain hurts today
