Song: Karen
[intro]
G C (repeat)
[verse]
G C (alternate)
Karen, I'm not taking sides
I don't think I'll ever do that again
I'll end up winning and I won't know why
I'm really trying to shine here, I'm really trying
You're changing clothes and closing windows on me all the time
[chorus]
CmWell, whatBbever you Abdo, listen, Bbyou better Cmwait for me
No, BbI wouldn't Abgo out Bbalone into AEbmerica
WhatBbever you Cmdo
Listen, and Abyou better Ebwait for me
No, BbI wouldn't Cmgo out alone
[verse]
G C (alternate)
Karen, we should call your father, maybe it's just a phase
He'll know the trick to get a wayward soul to change his ways
It's a common fetish for a doting man
to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand
[chorus]
CmWell, whatBbever you Abdo, listen, Bbyou better Cmwait for me
No, BbI wouldn't Abgo out Bbalone into AEbmerica
WhatBbever you Cmdo
Listen, and Bbyou better Ebwait for me
No, BbI wouldn't Cmgo out alone
[middle]
Bb Gm Dm Cm
BbWithout warm water in my Gmhead
All I see is black and white and Dmred
I feel mechanical and Cmthin
Hear me play my violin aBbgain
I'm living in the target's Gmshoes
All I see is black and white and Dmblue.
Idle, idle, idle, idle, Cmprotect the nest
Protect the title G C
[verse]
G C (alternate)
Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink
I've lost direction, and I'm past my peak
I'm telling you this isn't me
No, this isn't me
Karen, believe me, you just haven't seen my good side yet
[chorus]
CmWell, whatBbever you Abdo, listen, Bbyou better Cmwait for me
No, BbI wouldn't Abgo out Bbalone into AEbmerica
WhatBbever you Cmdo
Listen, and Bbyou better Ebwait for me
No, BbI wouldn't Cmgo out alone
[end]
BbWithout warm water in my Gmhead
All I see is black and white and Dmred
I feel mechanical and Cmthin
Hear me play my violin aBbgain
I'm living in the target's Gmshoes
All I see is black and white and Dmblue.
Idle, idle, idle, idle, Cmprotect the nest
Protect the title
BbI must be me, I'm in my head
Black Gmbirds are circling my bed
I Dmmust be me, I must be me
Black Cmfeathers are falling on my feet
BbIdle, idle, idle, idle, proGmtect the nest
Protect the title
DmIdle, idle, idle, idle, proCmtect the nest
Protect the title
[repeat]
[end]
