Standard (EADGBE)

you should see yourself

when will you grow up?

every knob you twist on that machine is like a crutch

but i was just the fool

you'd been waiting for

who says we can't touch ourselves

 to keep from getting bored?

nothing else is touching, that's for sure

a ring around the roses

i will watch you play

i come here every night

it's just me the bartender the waitress and the lights

shining on you not getting it right

we clap not for you, but for your kind

a ring around the roses

everybody poses

threats and then backs down

the second you put clothes on

a ring around the roses

everybody knows it

i will sing your fears

if you sing my neurosis

you should back out now

not a night too soon

i'll still be here when the last poor soul has left the room

standing round just like a good friend should

smiling as if your songs were good

a ring around the roses

everybody poses

threats and then backs down

the second you put clothes on

a ring around the roses

everybody knows it

i will sing your fears

if you sing my neurosis

and i sat there for hours

waiting on the curb

thinking you might like a flower from a pretty girl

a ring around the waitress from the verse

a ring of fire around the roses' door

put it on before you lose your nerve

put your hands together and i'll hurt

make a sound that no one's ever heard

and i hope we get what we deserve.
