Verse 1:
[D] When you drive [Bm]a [C#m] [D]nail
through all that's [E]good
[D] the car[Bm]pen[C#m]----[D]ter becomes
the [E]wood[A] If my concentration

it's cause I [D]got a
new feeling[A] every
thirty [E]seconds
Verse 2:
[D] We put [Bm]a [C#m] [D]monkey up in s[E]pace
[D] [Bm] [C#m] [D] [E]
[A] Looking at the latticework of
s[E]tars [D]missing his brothers back
[A]home. Too much for a [E]postcard
Chorus 1:
[A]Mercy have we gone too
[D]far? [E]Who put all these

I'm gonna live in my [E]car

Now I'm[E] fading
Verse 4:
D(hold)
I got duct tape all
around my [E]heart
I got a [D]satellite dish[Bm][C#m][D]
to julienne my [E]mind
[A] Two-hundred channels
nothing's [E]on but those
[D] network news[A] can make
your eyes see [E]blonde
Chorus 2:
[A]Mercy have we lost our way?
S
(have we lost our way?)
Did [E]we come down the
ladder from the [A]apes?
(Oh those lonely apes)
Will the [D]beard of the
prophet be as[F#m]suaged?
D(hold)
I was putting my shit
A(hold)
in the car when
the copters [E--]came
Verse 5:
[D] They put [Bm]a [C#m] [D]monkey in
the [E]white house[D] and [Bm]his[C#m]
[D]uncle in the [E]movies
[A] Now the real monkey
wants a [E]re-count
He just [D]couldn't
believe they were
his [A]own family
with those[E] values
Chorus 3:
[A]Mercy pick up
your gui[D]tar
We'll [E]need a lot
of heroes for this[A] war
(Pick up your guitar)
"Will the last [D]band
please bring the [F#m]flag?"
cause no one's
D(hold)
rocking the boat
A(hold)
and some kids here
[E]
