the pattern of the song easy enough to work out so just listen to
the song
during the outro there`s a variation on the `D` chord
(with a `Dsus4`).
LYRICS:
Shaking like a dog shittin` razorblades,
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
I`m waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
while you`re taking your time with apologies,
I`m making my plans for revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong I`d drive straight off the edge
I`d drive straight off the edge
Taking your own life with boredom,
I`m taking my own life with wine -
it helps you to rule out the sorrow,
it helps me to empty my mind
Making the most of a bad time
I`m smoking the brains from my head
Leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red
This kettle is seeing red
I`ve got a big fat fuckin` bone to pick with you my darling
In case you haven`t heard I`m sick and tired of trying
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
plugged in and ready to fall
VERSE ONE
CHORUS
Plugged in and ready to fall (x3)
