[Intro]

F#
A        D

[Verse 1]
    F#     
My miss phonia brought the faders up, now
       A                    D
she's a military grade in Dolby surround
       F#
around 5.1, Cue the barking from the baritone
A                            D
conductor in the pit for the car honk duet
F#
Half-tone harmony from the sewer
A                      D
Rebel youth choir belt phrases even newer
F#
Dump truck man drops the beat with trash cans, 
A                D
call 911! We got therapy demands.
F#
Philharmonic got a first chair car crash
A                   D
Pan the falsetto to smash the glass
       F# 
It's a drive-by lullaby that couldn't get worse
  A                       D
A melody abandoned in the key of New York

[Chorus 1]
      Dbm                         D     
Where nothing comes after, I'm a pass-time streamer, hanging from the rafters
  B                              Dbm              D              F#
I don't get out, I don't have fun, Livin' like a captive of the sun

[Verse 2]
F#
So I gotta put my shades on
F#
Riding through the city as I gets my escalade on
F#
Flipping down the streets that my reputation was made on
F#
King of the city, the mayor finna put a parade on
F#
Drop the confetti from off the rooftop
                    A                      D
Well I come down candy and let my roof drop
                   F#
I got a baddie shotgun in a tube top
                        A                    D
With some Daisy Dukes on and some tube socks, listening to Tupac
F#
You ain't know I do rock records, I do it all
A                                  D
I got my hands in some cookie jars, you ain't knew at all
F#
I took a chance and threw caution up in the wind
A                          D
Cuz I got nothing to lose but got something to win

[Chorus 2]
Dbm 
We throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks
D
It's gon' end up being a bomb or being the shit
B                              
They said the fix was in, guess we'll know when it's done
Dbm                      D                F#
Until then we'll just be captives of the sun

F#

[Verse 3]
  F#                  
I sightread the chart, clap the rocks into sand
  A                 D
A 12-pass van on a pot-hold bandstand
       F#
got an oil-can hangover by default 
    A                           D
and trucks pave the roads with amphetamine salt.
 F#
Skull shakin' cadence of the J train rolls
 A                 D
Rhythm of defeat, repeating like a pulse
F#
Marching on and static, lyrics shout a retort
       A                       D
to the melody abandoned in the key of New York

[Chorus 1]

      Dbm                         D     
Where nothing comes after. I'm a pass-time streamer, hanging from the rafters.
  B                              Dbm               D              F#
I don't get out. I don't have fun. Living like a captive of the sun.

F#
