[Intro]
G - D - C
GBlame it on the Tetons.
YDeah, I need a scapegoat Cnow.
GNo my dog won't bite you,
TDhough it had the right to.
CYou oughta give her credit
Cuz she knows I would've let it haGppen.
D - C
GBlame it on the weekends.
DGod I need a cola Cnow.
GOh we mumble loudly,
DWear our blame so proudly.
CWear our blank expressions,
Trying to look interesting.
GBlame it all on me cuz
DGod I need a cold one nCow.
GAll them eager actors
DGladly taking credit
Cfor the lines created
...C...
By the people tucked away from
Gsight / Is it a window
Dfrom the room we're bound to.
CIf you need a way out,
Would you please just let me know how?
GBlame it on the web but
Dthe spider is your problem Cnow.
GLanguage is the liquid
DThat we're all dissolved in.
CGreat for solving problems
...C...
After it creates a problem.
GBlame it on the Tetons,
DGod I need a scapegoat Cnow.
[Instrumental]
G - D - C
GEveryone's a building Cburning
WAmith no one to put the fire Cout.
GStanding at the window loCoking out,
WAmaiting for time to burn us Cdown.
GEveryone's an ocean dCrowning
WAmith no one really to show Chow.
GThey might get a little Cbetter air
IAmf they turned themselves into a Ccloud.
G - D - C x3
