Karen, I'm not taking sides
I don't think I'll ever do that again
I'll end up winning and I won't know why
I'm really trying to shine here, I'm really trying
You're changing clothes and closing windows on me all the time
[chorus]
Cm Bb Ab Bb Cm
Well, whatever you do, listen, you better wait for me
Bb Ab Bb Eb
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Bb Cm
Whatever you do
Ab Eb
Listen, and you better wait for me
Bb Cm
No, I wouldn't go out alone

G C (alternate)
Karen, we should call your father, maybe it's just a phase
He'll know the trick to get a wayward soul to change his ways
It's a common fetish for a doting man
to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand
[chorus]
Cm Bb Ab Bb Cm
Well, whatever you do, listen, you better wait for me
Bb Ab Bb Eb
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America

Bb Gm Dm Cm
Bb Gm
Without warm water in my head
Dm
All I see is black and white and red
Cm
I feel mechanical and thin
Bb
Hear me play my violin again
Gm
I'm living in the target's shoes
Dm
All I see is black and white and blue.
Cm
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
G C
Protect the title

Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink
I've lost direction, and I'm past my peak
I'm telling you this isn't me
No, this isn't me
Karen, believe me, you just haven't seen my good side yet
