Talking television at the casual party 

Here’s some brand new friends to get you started off 
G# 
  So start it off 


      C# 
Since Ben got that he’s a sociopath 

Only playing games, don’t be distracted, oh 
G# 
It’s all of nothing, all or nothing 
        
So you really got something to lose 


     C# 
It’s coming around as it did before 

Gettin’ your attention but where’s the door, oh 
G# 
  I can’t locate it, where’s it located? 
   
I got plenty to live for 


      A#5       C5 
Blind faith, it don’t sit right

You got rage, wound so tight 
        A#5   C5                   C#5 
I wanna leave, best get out of the way

Blind faith, don’t sit right 
               C#5   D#5 
You’re full of rage, wound so tight

I’m gonna leave, best get out of the way

Kids and the dog, a freshly mowed lawn 
   
Retirement plans for a mountain home, oh

  Been arrested, lived in Texas 
    
My God, I’m gonna leave it with you

You’re full of rage, wound so tight
