(ver. 1)
The Smith Street Band
[Verse 1]
G5_                     Em   Cm
  This was gonna be the party
G5                        Em    Cm
  When did I start acting badly?
G5                       Em      Cm
  Lied to me while I was sleeping
G5                      Em  Cm
  I lied to you bout my body
G5                      Em      Cm
  We can talk about the old days
G5                   Em       Cm
Finish each other in familiar ways
 
 
[Chorus 1]
         D       Cadd9     Em7
Is there anybody else like me?
     G      D       Cadd9
Antithalian, pernoctalian
Em7      G     D       Cadd9
  I’m an alien, I’m an alien
 
 
[Instrumental 1]
G5 Em Cm
G5 Em Cm
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                        Em
  All my emo friends are DJs
C                G                        Em      C          G
  They’re making minimalist music for the cocaine cowboys to play
                        Em     C               G
I was a big ball of enthusiasm getting off the train
                          Em           C               G
Now I’m a broken birthday banner lying trampled in the rain
                      Em    Cm G5
I was walking in slow motion
                       Em    Cm
Doubting even my own devotion
        G5                Em     Cm
But I’m too old now to be this uncomfortable
G5                       Em         Cm
Got my privilege kept my addictions functional
 
 
[Chorus 2]
         D*      Cadd9*    Em7
Is there anybody else like me?
     G      D       Cadd9
Antithalian, pernoctalian
Em7      G     D       Cadd9
  I’m an alien, I’m an alien
Em7      G     D       Cadd9
  I’m an alien, I’m an alien
 
 
[Instrumental 2]
Em7 D/F# G
Em7 D/F# D
 
 
[Bridge 1]
Em7           D/F#         G
  I feel like Elvis circa ‘77
Em7           D/F#     D         Em7
  Consume, consume, consume then die
                      D/F#              G
I’m the corpse of the king getting drop kicked out of heaven
               D/F#     D
Sitting in the car park getting high
 
 
[Bridge 2]
Cadd9         Dadd4add9     Cadd9
  I feel like Elvis circa ‘77
            Dadd4add9          Cadd9
Consume, consume, consume then die
                      Dadd4add9                       Cadd9
I’m the corpse of the king getting drop kicked out of heaven
               Dadd4add9
Sitting in the car park getting high
 
 
[Outro]
G5_              Em       Cm
  Sitting in the car park getting high
G5               Em       Cm
  Sitting in the car park getting high
G5              Em    Cm
  I'm fat, dead Elvis getting high
G5              Em    Cm
  I'm fat, dead Elvis getting high
G5 Em C5
      getting high
G5 Em C5
      getting high
G5 Em C5          G5 Em C7
      getting high
