Teenage Cool Kids - Landlocked State

      [Verse]
    A                                   D
There's a voice from clear across the plains
    A                             D
With an accent that you can't mistake
    A            E            D
But this song, it don't take place in Texas
    B           D            A
It's in a landlocked type of state
    A                        D
And the statics humming me to sleep
    A                        D
On the floor, the only way to beat the heat
    A           E            D
This is why I don't write you letters
    B           D            A
They never mention these things

[Chorus]
    A                        D
You can take another hit but (you can try and top it)
    A                        D
Try and hold your breath (it's just another hit in)
    A                        D
Vain, I've got a grasp on my own isolation
    D                      A
An abridged adaptation of it

[Verse]
    A                      D
The insanity we can't escape
    A                      D
Losing brain cells and the Teflon flakes
    A           E          D
I got my own way of fighting cancer
    B           D            A
And you ain't one of them
    A                      D
Stealing groceries just to stay awake
    A                      D
Sleepwalk through the aisles to numb the ache
    A            E         D
Can you hide it inside your jacket
    B           D         A
And make a quick escape?

[Chorus]
    A                           D
You can lie about the price of (keeping it inside it's)
    A                     D
Not the greatest gig but (can't you see I'm trying)
    A                 D
Not to bum you out, I feel so sick inside
    D                       A
I'm just trying to hide out lately

[Verse 2]
    B           D          A
Blurry visions from the karaoke prompter
    B           D           A
Nodding off to not so distant laughter
    B                     D           A
They're gonna watch you die from starvation
    B                     D       A
And your scars will all have names

[Outro]
    A                     D
Whistling
    A                     D
Whistling
    A                     D
Whistling
    D                     A
Whistling
