Intro: A 

verse 1 
A 
I hear peculiar wailing 

From a distant fun fair 
             Dsus4 
While staring out at the burnt down 
A 
Amusement pier 

verse 2 
A 
A Chorus of motor horns 

Harmonise in minor key 
             Dsus4 
A more bloody nose and black eye 
        A 
It’s so sad, it’s funny 

verse 3 
A                      C#m   B 
It’s both my business and my pleasure 
              D     F        A     E    
So mix the two with generous measures 
              A 
Dream visions spawned 
C#m       B  
From wild fever 
     D 
In a videogame 
F       A 
Chasing strangers 

verse 4 
A 
So destiny’s callin’ 

But reception’s so poor 
            Dsus4  
I'm waiting to go overground 
       A 
Let no soul lure in sore 

Pre-Chorus 
G 
And I went down to the playhouse 
E                      D       A 
For some answers, or a clue at least 
G 
But from all the Shakespearian lessons 
E 
I came up asking with more questions 
D               Bm    E 
Namely to be or not to be 

             A C#m        B          
So bring it on my darling Clementine 
               D F        A  E  
Let’s fuck it up one more time 
                   A   C#m  B 
Get your glad rags on, your LBD 
                 D       F            A E 
And presidential pearls, get away from me 

                     A 
Now drive the fuckin’ line 
C#m                    B  
If you’ve been long as I 
                     D    F          A    E 
Thou shalt not throw away a game so sublime 
             A       C#m       B 
Dream vision spawned from wild fever 
          D     F        A 
In a videogame, tasering strangers
