GI brought a lemon to a knife fight

GI brought a lemon to a knife fight Dm F
FI brought a lemon to a knife fight C G

Capo 1
[Intro]
F C Am G
[Verse]
F I jump from thought to Cthought like a flea jumps to a Amlight
You could give an Gaspirin the headache of its lFife
Maybe it's the Ccrazy that I mFiss
F Watering plastic Cplants in the hope that they will gAmrow
Seeing a message fGlash and then smashing up my pFhone
Maybe it's the Ccrazy that I Fmiss
[Chorus]
N.C.
It won't get better than thisFI like the way your Cbrain works
I like the way you Amtry
To run with the wolGf pack when your legs are tirFed
I like the way you tCurn me inside and outAm
I like the way you tuGrn
Dm C F I like the way your brain works
G C F I like the way your brain works
[Verse 2]
F I want to get collCege girl drunk tonightAm
No morning Gfears
No mountGains to climbF
They say the beCst memories are the Dmones that we forget
CLike F
Listening to DCrake at your best friends swimming pAmool
Floating anti-cGlockwise in a red mushroom F
Maybe it's the cCrazy that I mAmiss
[Chorus]
N.C.
It won't get better than thisFI like the way your Cbrain works
I like the way you Amtry
To run with the wolGf pack when your legs are tirFed
I like the way you tCurn me inside and outAm
I like the way you tuGrn
Dm C F I like the way your brain works
G C F I like the way your brain works
[Outro]
F Baby it's the cCrazy I like
Dm I think I saw the world turn in your eCyes F
Baby it's the crCazy I like Dm

Dm Screaming at the moon in black ClipstickF
Maybe it's the bCullshit I mAmiss
G It won't get better than this

DmDancing in a coma

Is this A#real?
What's Dmhappening here?
[Chorus]
I try to be Gmhuman

I wanna come Dmback to me
I wanna come Cback
I wanna get out of my head Dm
[Verse 2]
DmThunder, now I'm gliding
Drinking Fcaffeine till I'm flying like a A#kite
I'd try Dmanything twice
FDmrozen thirty-something
Am I Fhere or here for nothing?
I don't A#mind
And I'm lDmosing my mind

I try to be Gmhuman
But that never Fworks
I'm lost in a Dmgift shop

I wanna come Cback
I wanna get out of my head Dm
(I try to be Dmhuman, I try to be human)

I'm losing my gGmrip here
I'm off the deep Fend
I wanna come Dmback to me
I wanna come Cback
[Chorus]
I try to be Gmhuman
But that never Fworks
I'm lost in a Dmgift shop

I wanna come Dmback to me
I wanna come Cback
I wanna get out of my head Dm

An ice cream in the Dsun
[Verse 2]
DArt imitates life again
DRose and I used to be friends
We'd F#mhang out from time to time
When Ewe could toe the line, oh

A church with a locked door
