[INTRO]
Riff 2 Riff 1 x3 Riff 2
[VERSE 1]
Riff 1 x4
Stutter stutter says the little boy
Riff 1 x3 Riff 1
I wanna blow a hole in my head
Riff 3 x2
I swear what this world wants to hear
Riff 3 x2
Trapped in what we know as truth syndrome
Riff 1 x2 Riff 4 x2
Stutter stutter silence no friend
[CHORUS]
[A5]Children can be cruel sh[D5]e said
[A5]So i smashed her in the [D5]fucking head
[A5]Sorry dear that's the na[D5]ture of tourette
[VERSE 2] (same as verse 1)
Stutter stutter nothing else but me
I twitch and turn while underneath
My contemporaries are so in control
Fuck you fuck you i grunt and groan
Stutter stutter can't keep it no more
REPEAT CHORUS

[VERSE 3]
Riff 1x4
Stutter stutter are your eyes closed
Riff 1 x4
You know a hole through which you can fall
Riff 3 x2
But i can't even be bothered to hang on
Riff 3 x2
When you're this numb news don't register
Riff 3 x2 Riff 5 x2 Riff 1x3
I just opened my eyes
