Intro:

G#m7addb6

Verse 1:

C#m               
Winter isn't much here
         Am6             E
Just a flinching centigrade
            B7                   
Though the grasses all look jaundiced and the
Amaj7            E            
Poplar branches flayed
B              A              E
Ooh-o-oh, the poplar branches flayed
C#m
Before your hysterical silence,
           Am6           E
You came rapping at my door
         B7 
With your body as a sacrament
Amaj7                E
Your mind a killing floor
B               A             E
Ooh-o-oh, your mind a killing floor

Refrain 1:

G#m6                            G#aug7   
I've been trying to quell my anger
              C#            F#
And not feel bitter about all the darkness you gave
       A                   Bb/A                  A         
But as always there's that device that I cannot disengage
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         /
Oooh
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         /
Oooh

Verse 2:

C#m                                Am6                     E
Just as a Red Terror, you tried to kill what you couldn’t reign
B7                                   Amaj7                  E
And now you're back in Knoxville masturbating your father's pain
B                A                   E
Ooh-o-oh, masturbating your father's pain

Refrain 2:

G#m6                              G#aug7
Stealing from his oration of filth ,
             C#               F#
I repeat the wickedness to force reactions out of you
A                     Bb/A        A       
But it never hurts as deeply as I want it to
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         /    
mmm
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         /
ooh
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         /
oooh
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         /

Verse 3:

C#m                              Am6                   E
I think I'll mix my medicine and explore it 'til I'm dull
B7                                 Amaj7       E
You made my sky a graveyard and my moon a funeral
B            A       E
Ooh-o-oh, my moon a funeral

Bridge:

F#m      B      F#m7      F#madd2
Oh-o-oh Oh-o-oh Oh-o-oh
F#m     B/F#     A         A
Oh-o-oh Oh-o-oh Oh-o-oh

Chorus:

C#               F#             E   F#  C# G#
Now it's just a system of subtraction, oh yeah!
E  B              G              B               D C#        
    I won't even turn around to notice your reaction 
C#               F#             E   F#  C# G#
Now it's just a system of subtraction, oh yeah!
E  B              G              B               D
    I won't even feel the hateful vibing of your faction
C#               F#              E
Now it's just a system of subtraction

C#       G#    G#    C#   G#   G#
Whatever happened to your star now?
F#     G#  F#  F#   G#  F#     F#         G# C#
No one cares who you are now, oh, oh, oh,
F# B      G# C#
  Oh-oh,     oh-oh

Bridge 2:

B  E 
  You were once beloved, by my people 
E/C                  B                
Now it's bad luck to even say your name
G# C#    F# B    G# C#
   Oho,    oho,    oho
B  E               
   When I see you it feels so awkward
E/C                    B         
I try to be cool but it's such a drag
G# C#    F# B    G# C#
   Oho,    oho,    oho

Spoken Interlude:

Fm  
I waited for you on O'Farrell street
E 
Smelling other people's piss

Bridge 3:

D#             G#               A#
I bet you think you see me backwards, babe
E          A              B  
You ain't even seen the blikk fang, babe
D#           G#       C#
It's not acrimonious 
 
Final Chorus:

 C#                    F#              E F#  C# G#       
'Cause now it's only systems of subtraction, oh yeah!
E  B             G              B              D      
  I won't even turn around to look at your reaction
C#               F#               E
Now it's just a system of subtraction

Outro:

C#       G#    G#   C#    G#   G#
Whatever happened to your star now?
F#  G#   F#  F#  G#   F#  F#
No one cares who you are now
C#   G#  G#        C#   G#   G#
You used to share my broken throne
F#   G#  F#  F#   G#    F#               / C#(barre at 9th fret on the E)
Now you sing flat alone now, oh, oh, oh, oh.
