| Repeated Over 4 Bars
[Verse]
Bb5
Daddy told me look into the future
C#5 Eb5
Sit at your computer, be a good girl
Bb5
And Mama said remember your a lady,
C#5 Eb5
Think before your play and straighten your curls,
Bb5
Well everybodys talking like i'm crazy
C#5 Eb5
Danger is a lazy girl with no soul
Bb5
But i've seen it all from where i'm hiding
C#5 Eb5
Baby cause i'm sliding, out of control
[Pre-Chorus]
C#5
Here I go, on the road crank the stereo
Eb5
I flick my finger to the world below
C#5
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Eb5 F5
Shut your mouth and lets give a show
[Chorus]
Bb5 C#5 Eb5
I don't need no good advice
C#5
I'm already wasted
Bb5 C#5 Eb5
I don't need some other life
C#5
Cold and complicated
Bb5 C#5 Eb5
I don't need no Sunday trips
C#5
To add sympathising
Bb5 C#5 Eb5
I don't need no special fix
C#5
To anaesthetise me

[Intro]
[Verse]
Daddy always told me to remember,
Leave the boys, till later, don't you drop down
Mama said I'd never get to heaven
Hang out till eleven, with the wrong crowd
Everybody's talking like I'm only
Just another phony girl who can't play
But i dig the music that i'm making
Baby, and i'll break it into your brain
[Pre-Chorus]
Here I go, on the road, crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth and lets give a show
[Chorus]
I don't need no good advice
I'm already wasted
I don't need some other life
Cold and complicated
I don't need no Sunday trips
To add sympathising
I don't need no special fix
To anaesthetise me

It's important that you use 5th and not full chords, as the guitar
in this song needs to be tonically empty - the harmony is all
produced by the synths.
-----
Notes
-----
A crunchy distortion is best for this song, along with
plenty of palm-muting.
During the pre-chorus (C#5 -> Eb5), hit the chords on
the 2nd and 4th beats.
Listen to the record for timing, the lyrics are there more
as a reference than anything else.
* This version isn't the one you find on the video for this song (with
the talking at the end), and so structurally it may be a bit different
to the one you're used to...
