"My Brain Hurts"
A / E / D
x4 (with lead)
Verse
A (pm) D
Time gets wasted every day, I watch the minutes tick away
F# E D
My brain is melting like a chocolate ice cream bar
A (pm) D
Like characters on TV these people look like maggots to me
F# E D
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
A
If I wanna do something right
D
I gotta do it myself cause someone else will f**k it up
A
It isn't all black and white
E
And now it's time to stop and figure out reality
A
No one knows what they're talking about
D
If what they're talking don't make any sense to me
A
I gotta figure it out
E
Cause I don't want something to believe in
Solo is played over these chords:
A / F# / D / E
x2
A / C# / D
x4
Repeat Chorus
A D A E A
My brain hurts, my brain hurts, my brain hurts today
D A E A
My brain hurts, my brain hurts, my brain hurts today
