Version 1[Verse 1] C F C Sobriety's good but so is being high C F C Society's fine with the passage of time C F C Try slow it down so I can unwind C F Am Em F Tragedy's comedy if you can get through it Am Em F If you can get through it [Verse 2] C F C Perspective's impossible from this position C F C I don't care either way, don't make it my decision C F C I'm not the one with the plan, I'm the one with the vision C F Am Em F Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it Am Em F If you can get through it [Chorus] G F God is dead and reality is fake C It's a hive mind nightmare of a dying race G F And there is no luck and there is no fate C And nobody cares about you or your pain Am Em F That becomes freedom if you look at it that way Am Em F That becomes freedom if you look at it that way C [Verse 3] C C I've always been more distressing than cool C F C I'm a blood nose on the first day of school C F C My own quiet life at the bottom of the pool C F Am Em F Tragedy's comedy if you can get through it Am Em F If you can get through it [Verse 4] C F C Come a long way from a neck in a noose C F C Look me in the eye and call that an excuse C F C I wasn't sure what to make tight or keep loose C F Am Em F Was never a boy scout, so I fell straight through it Am Em F I fell straight through it [Chorus] G F God is dead and reality is fake C It's a hive mind nightmare of a dying race G F And there is no luck and there is no fate C And nobody cares about you or your pain Am Em F That becomes freedom if you look at it that way Am Em F That becomes freedom if you look at it that way Am Em F Yeah, that way Am Em F [Outro] F But I wanna be C F The boy at the bar mitzvah, the child at the christening Am G The corpse at the funeral, the bride at the wedding C F And none of this matters, so we shouldn't just stop Am G C Not with all the perpetual motion we've got or we had F Who knows? Not like I'm going to shows Am G I'm pissing in the wind, I don't know which way it blows C F Coming straight out of Box Hill like a bat out of hell Am G C If you're not gonna forget me, remember me well
