Dane Cobain – Watch the Planet Die
INTRO/INTERLUDE/VERSE Bm A Bm A E F# G F#, G F# A# B (A#) B
INTRO
I'm born in time to watch the planet die, it's a miracle that I'm alive and I'm still breathing.
Light says it's faster than everything, but it can't beat the darkness, it's always right there waiting.
INTERLUDE
She said she fell down a rabbit hole, became a valium wife but without a soul to speak of.
I can't quite understand what she means, I'm the surge protection on extension leads, believe me.
INTERLUDE
CHORUS: (high) Em Bm F# Bm
And so she dances in the evening when there's no one near to see her, she is on fire until she finds someone to try to put her out.
And if she dies before the morning when the sunlight hurts my eyes, I'll remember her as long as I'm still breathing.
INTERLUDE
I never thought this could last so long, there are words I need but the tip of my tongue is bleeding. A dream you dream alone is only a dream, a dream you dream together is reality, I'm a thief. Please believe.
INTERLUDE
CHORUS
OUTRO

How can you ever say
G
You only want to serve
D
How could you ever think
G
It’s something you deserve
A
Like a dog stalks it’s prey
D
By taking up it’s smel
Gl
I will roll in your shit
C D
To storm your citadel
G D
You want to swap our old ways
G D
For your new way
A G
All you will ever hear from me
A
Is see you next Tuesday
You offer something new
But its just more of the same
How can you think we’ll let
The scapegoats take the blame
It’s a three card trick
That we will always lose
And with a sleight of hand
You bury the bad news
You want to swap our old ways
For your new way
All you will ever hear from me
Is see you next Tuesday
The credulous and vulnerable
Hear what you say
All you will ever hear from me
Is see you next Tuesday
G A
Back in the day we did our bit
C G
For what it was worth
G A
Rocking against racism and knocking the establishment
C D
For Friends of the Earth
E A
You may fool some of us
E A
For some of the time
A A
But you can’t seem to see
E A
Where to draw the line
B E
I will hunt you down wherever you are
A D B
Armed with the truth and my trusty black guitar.
A E
You want to swap our old ways
A E
For your new way
B A
All you will ever hear from me
B
Is see you next Tuesday

Vampire A D F#m E
A D F#m E
Fall into the endless void
A D F#m E
Escape before the world is destroyed
Bm A
I’ll take you to a place where everyone knows me
Bm D E
I’ll let you meet a friend of mine called Bela Lugosi
A D F#m E
When the darkness has conquered the light
A D F#m E
And you feel my love start to bite
Bm D E
I’ll be there like a vampire in the night
Feel the heat like a burning wreck
Feel the bruising on your neck
I only ask that you allow me
To assume the appearance of Christopher Lee
When my lovin’ has banished your fright
And your resistance has surrendered the fight
I’ll be there like a Vampire in the night
C#m C#m Cm
Lay down and close your eyes
Bm Bm Cm
Relax and I will start to
C#m
Delight you till you scream
D
“OOOH be my Nosferatu”

Dane Cobain – Sober
Em (high) Bm D Em
I'm staying sober and I'm still alive, and I don't know what I used to do,
on all the long weekends on all the wrong nights, trying to find out what I mean to you.
And it goes like this, a thorn in her side and she's tired of this,
because this shit's insipid and mentally ill and because she stole the vowels from my kiss.
INTERLUDE
She's an illusion, she's falling through time, picking up broken glass at closing time,
she won't be forgotten like yesterday's news, she's soaking in lemon and lime.
and I close my eyes, a feeling inside that I just can't describe
and I'm tired of talking, I'm tiring of words and I'm trying not to write lines that rhyme.
CHORUS: Em (low) Bm D G F#/D x 4
SLOW
Now I'm feeling nervous and I'm feeling scared and I don't know what I shouldn't do.
Should I waste all my time while I write on wrong nights, should I break down and cry before you?
And I feel like shit, but I'm starting to feel so I'm dealing with it
and I don't want to hide or believe in the hype, so I...
I...
give into it.

Dane Cobain – Present Past Imperfect
G C9
Girls with tits and fucking legs and shit but they’re always riding horses,
They’re looking for a man without a fish in his photo, but he’s gotta be six feet or taller.
D C
Well hypocrisy is everywhere, but first I’ll do no harm,
I swear I’m going crazy but there’s no cause for alarm.
The sex is best when intellects are special friends in every sense,
My favourite tense is present past imperfect.
Seven people in a photograph so tell me who the hell are you?
“DM me on Instagram,” she’s been corona free since 1992.
D C
I’ll write my name in fresh cement but I won’t write yours,
I go from six to seven once the liquor’s poured.
She said she’s not like other girls and so I guess she’s just like the others,
My favourite tense is present past imperfect.
INTERLUDE
To stop this virus spreading you should wash your hands.
We never cared for STDs but we’ve bowed to demand.
The air is tense her dress is short, and I’m too tired to feel alive,
my favourite tense is present past imperfect.
No bio, but don’t say “hey”, it’s boring.
Me and my husband are exploring.
No bio, but don’t say “hey”, it’s boring.
Me and my husband are exploring.
“Hey.” X5

D A G
It’s my life,
A D A G
and that something I must live with.
A D A G
And I must ask you to forgive
A
All my trespasses
You’ll find me, guilty of sartorial crime
Hiding from the sunshine
In gloves and sunglasses
G
Wandering Like a cloud
A
Feeling all alone
G
If my condition had a name
A
You could put me in a home
It’s my way, this air of pessimism
It’s just my coping mechanism
It gets me through my day
So don’t ask me
If the answer will just bore you
Instead I will implore you
To walk away
I never seem to get things done
The way that they were planned
If my condition had a name
Perhaps you’d understand
You can take all my symptoms
And tie them in a tidy parcel
But till my condition has a name
You’ll still think I am an arsehole

The time goes slow when you quit the things
Bb F
you loved when you were young,
Bb C F C
It's always going to run out on you eventually.
F C Bb F
So raise your glass and point your eyes towards the skies above,
Bb C F C
it's dark in the winter and it's dark in the summer too.
Bb C F F/E Dm
But I'm glad we met in autumn 'cause it's cold outside tonight
Bb C F F7
sometimes I get so angsty I could scream, AGHHHH
don't blame me if I cry because there's nothing else to do
but life's a lot less empty since I fell for you.
SOLO
CHORUS
VERSE:
You said don't hold back or tell me things you knew were never true,
it's hard to get out of bed when your head is mental.
I'll never change the way I feel if I never try to change
and so I'll love myself some more than I am used to.

Where Did The Good Times Go?
G/C9/|D/G|C9/D/|G/C9 D|
In the summer walking in the sun
Feeling good just to be young
In the winter walking in the snow
Tell me where did the good times go
In the autumn leaves are on the ground
Just the time to feel down
In the springtime we watch the flowers grow
Tell me where did the good times go
Where did they go sha la la la
Where did they go sha la la la
Where did the good times go
They say School days are the best days of your life
Why they say that I’ll never know
In the teenage years the kids are alright
Tell me where did the good times go
Where did they go etc
Now we see the world has changed and we miss the lives we left behind
And the good times are worth so much more
Now they are so hard to find
So hard to find sha la la la
So hard to find sha la la la
Now they are so hard to find
And the good times are worth so much more
Now they are so hard to find.

E F (D shape on 5th), E F
Everyone’s starting to panic, everyone struggles to breathe,
The mask on your face will keep you safe but you still hate company.
Everything I think is resentful, everything I touch turns to shit,
I’d like to pretend I’ve got a gun in my hand but it’s only a temporary fix.
D F E E7
I want to stay inside my house,
not much point in going out.
People no longer interest me,
Depression and mediocrity.
E F
I’m sure you’re lovely people and I guess I get the point,
no one believes anxiety until they do believe in choose.
Sometimes I choose to be lonely, sometimes I choose to be sane,
If I was forced to live my life, I wouldn’t do much the same.

Burly Chassis (Heat of the Night)
D///|D/A/|G///|G///|Bm///|Bm///|A///|A///
Baby baby baby can you feel the way feeling
The tender sting of love’s first bite
Baby baby baby can you feel the wounds are healing
In the heat of the night
Cross the vale of tears
Falling down like rain
The exquisite itch that must be scratched
A festival of pain
It could be so easy
It need not be hard
Be my dominatrix
I’ll be the Marquis de Sade
Like a tattoo needle
And a piercing gun
And 12 rounds in a boxing ring
All rolled into one
Squeeze my burly chassis
Floor me with your heels
Get your motor running
Let me lick your weals.

VERSE ONE:
Bb Eb
We started at the bottom and we met up at the top
Bb Eb,
and you don't know what you're missing 'til you realise it's lost

I met you at the crossroads but I took a funny turn,
now the wolverines and foxes think that I'm a skeleton,

but my friend, this is the road we have to walk.
INTRO Bb///|////|Eb///|////INTRO Bb///|////|Eb///|////
VERSE THREE: as V!
I think I ought to tell her that I really like her style,
and I'd like to understand her and to hang out for a while,
and I don't know where I'm going and I don't know where I've been,
but i will walk the road with you my friend.
CHORUS:
Bb Eb
They're not nobody's problems 'cause someone has got to solve them,
Ab Eb Bb

Bb Eb
And when you've got nowhere to stay I'll help you find another way
Ab Eb B
so you can lean down, lean down on me.

CHORUS
CHORUS TWO:
She said she couldn't stand it when he didn't understand her,
I said lean down, lean down on me.
He ought to get arrested, because he knows I'm interested
and you can lean down, lean down on me.
