Intro: Em D C Am


Em 
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah
D
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-dah
C                Am
We're all going, we're all going


          Em
Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out
    D
The room lit up and we ran about
      C
Well, this is what I really call a party now
 Am
Packed up our cars, move to the next town


          Em
Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out
  D
This is what I really call a party now
      C
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
Am
This one's done so where to now?


    Em
Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
        D
Well, you all know what I'm talking about
C
Shaved off my eyebrows when I fall to the ground
   Am
So I can't look surprised right now


Em
Pack up again, head to the next place
D
Where we'll make the same mistakes
 C
Burn it up or just chop it down
    Am
But this one's done so where to now?


G 
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah
F
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-dah
C
We're all going, we're all going


          Em
Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out
  D
This is what I really call a party now
      C
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
    Am
But this one's done so where to now?


    Em
Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
       D
Well, you all know what I'm talking about
    C
The room lights up, well, we're still dancing around
Am
We're having fun, having some fun now


Em
Pack up again, head to the next place
D
Where we'll make the same mistakes
 C
Open one up and let it fall to the ground
 Am
Pile out the door when it all runs out


G 
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah
F
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-dah
C
We're all going, we're all going


        G
We have spines and other bones
                 F
We'll eat your food, we'll throw stones
               C
Well, this is how it's always gone

And this is how it's going to go


      G
Well, we're the human race
                F
We're going to party at this place
              C
And then move on

(Tough luck)


              G
Will kill you off and then make a clone
               F
Yeah, we got spines and other bones
         C
This is how it's always gone

And this is how it's going to go


       G
As our feelings are getting hurt
             F
Oh, we want you to do the work
              C
Our ass looks great inside these jeans

Well, we want just our water clean


         G
This is how it's always been
             F
And this is how it's going to be
                 C
So you just move on


    Em
The air's on fire so we're moving on
D
 Better find another one cause this one's done
C
 Waiting for the magic of the sun to explode
   Am
To push, push, push, push, pull us up


Em
Spend some time, float in outer space
 D
Find another planet, make the same mistakes
    C
Our mind's all shattered when we come and go
 Am
Hoping for the scientists to find another door
