F(x4) C (x4) (X2)



F                  C

Any chimp can play human for a day.

F                                    C

Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform

    F                 C

and run for office on election day

F                    C

fancy himself a real decision maker

F                           C   (with guitar lick x2)

and deploy more troops than salt shakers.



F                      G      C

But it's a jungle when war is made,

F                                   G           C

and you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy.

F                G                   C    B/G

The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity.

Am           F

Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing.

G

A smoking gun holding ape.



Guitar Lick X2



F                         C

Any asshole can open up a museum.

               F                  C

Put all of the things he loves on display



so everyone could see them.

F                              C

The house, a car, a thoughtful wife

F                                C

ordinary moments in his ordinary life.



Guitar Lick X 1



F                                 G        C

But if she breaks a smile, she'll give you away

       F               G               C

'cause no one wants to pay to see your happiness.

F               G               C   B/G

No one wants to pay to see your day to day

Am          F 

and I'm not buying it either

G                       F

but I'll try selling it anyway.



Guitar Lick X 4

Trumpet Lick X 4



F                  C

Any idiot can play Greek for a day

F                      C

and join a sorority or write a tragedy

    F                     C

and articulating all that pain

    F                C  

and maybe you'll get paid.



Guitar Lick X1



           F        G           C

But it's a sin when success complains,

         F                 G          C

and your writers block- it don't mean shit.

F                         G        C   B/G  Am

Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks.

              F

Gotta write a hit.

                G

I think this is it.

       F

It's a hit.
