      [Verse]
            G
I have been making presentations for a final escalation
            C                            G
I have been praying to the god of giving up.
          C                             G       Em   
She says, “Lock, lock, lock the door behind you now,
           C                 D                   G
before the criminals and the cops break in your house”.
[Verse]
           G                    C                   G
Oh, I have looked so hard for a place where I could die.
        C                   G        Em
But the winners up there of high-end living
      C                D          G
won't allow the broken insane to arise.
[Chorus]
             C               G                   C                              G
So fuck this city. Fuck this job. They cut you down before you even reach the top.
     C                                G               Em
In a god-fearing land, there ain't no lodging for the mad;
              C              D                  G
you can't get high enough to breathe before you drown.
[Verse]
          G                                   C                       G
I'm gonna go back to that factory, where they make, make, make moving parts
          C                    G         Em
that will take, take, take you very far away.
       C                  D                  G
In the flash of a pack of matches, I will be gone.
[Chorus]
             C               G                   C                              G
So fuck this city. Fuck this job. They break you down before you even reach the top.
     C                                G               Em
In a god-fearing land, there ain't no lodging for the mad;
              C              D      
you can't get high enough to breathe
              C              D       
you can't get high enough to breathe
              C              D                  G
you can't get high enough to breathe before you drown.

Optional: "walk" the chord down when going from G to Em by playing G chord, F# note, then Em chord.
Pretty simple. Listen to the song
