This song is on the Everything to Everyone CD. I hope they will make a single
out of this out because it is just brilliant.
Thanks to a guy named Dave Patthews for his work on the song. My version is
basically his first tab with some corrections.
No capo and standard tuning. Any corrections are welcome !

1st Verse

I'm not surprised it's come to C#mthis
Sooner or later there must be another's G#kissG#/A

I'd rather F#drown
And I Asus2will not turn my Bsus4whole life upside Edown
2nd Verse

Imagine everything you've C#mdone
Under a microscope on view for everyG#oneG#/A
And if the King of Circumspection's here he'sG# come in vain
I G#/Awon't be sharing the C#mblame
I wear the F#crown
And I Asus2will not turn my Bsus4whole life upside C#mdown

To shake me G#from complacenC#mcy
I make my G#mind up and I'll F#never be

The kind of man who'd make a C#mchoice
For if I hold my tongue I'll never lose my G#voicG#/Ae
If each attempted act of sabotage G#destroys all hope
I G#/Awon't be needing a C#mrope
I'm gagged and F#bound
And I Asus2will not turn my Bsus4whole life upside Edown

And if the genie were set free

And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me

So I Asus2will not turn my Bsus4whole life upside Edown

4th Verse
---------
Though I appreciate the C#maim
Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his G#fameG#/A

So G#/Adon't applaud till the C#mend
I'm not F#around
Cause I Asus2will not turn my Bsus4whole life upside C#mdown
Chorus
------
C#mNothing's G#good enough for C#mme
To shake me G#from complacenC#mcy
I make my G#mind I won't makeF# a sound
So they Asus2will not turn my Bsus4whole life upside Edown
So they Asus2will not turn my Bsus4whole life upside Edown
