Evil S I yes to [Dm]find a shore,[C][G]
[C]A beach that doesn't q[G]uiver anymo[F]re,
[Dm]Where we can crush some p[C]lants to paint my w[F]alls,
And I won't [Am]try to fight in the weekend w[F]ars
[Dm]Was I? I was too lazy to b[C]athe[G]
[C]Or paint or write or t[G]ry to make a[F] change.
[Dm]Now I can shoot a [C]gun to kill my l[F]unch
And I don't [Am]have to love or think too [F]much
[A]In[Dm]stant [C]battle [F]plans [A]written on the [A#]sidewalk
[A]Me[Dm]ntal [C]mystics [F]in a [A]twisted metal [A#]car
[A]Tr[Dm]ied to [C]ampli[F]fy the [Gm]sound of [A#]light and [C]love
(Instead of just playing a C at the end here,
you can match the sound of MGMT a little better if
you play the riff below. When you finish it, go right
into the Dm of the next verse.)
[Dm]Christ is cursed of faders and mad[C]ers[G]
Might [C]even take a [G]knife to split a [F]hair
[Dm]Or even scare the [C]children off my [F]lawn
Giving us [Am]time to make the makeshift [F]bombs
[Dm]Every mess invested was a [C]score[G]
We [C]couldn't use [G]computers any[F]more
But it's [Dm]difficult to [C]win unless you're [F]bored,
And you might [Am]have to plan for the weekend [F]wars
[A]Tr[Dm]y to b[C]reak my [F]heart I'll [A]drive to Ari[A#]zona.
[A]It [Dm]might [C]take [F]100 [A]years to grow an [A#]arm
[A]I'll [Dm]sit and [C]listen [F]to the [Gm]sound of [A#]sand and [A]cold
[Dm]Twisted [C]diamond [F]heart, [A]I'm the weekend [A#]warrior
[A]My[Dm] pre[C]dictions [F]are the o[A]nly things I [A#]have
[A]I [Dm]can [C]ampli[F]fy the [Gm]sound of [A#]light and [C]love
(Here there is a similar riff as before. I strum or pick this
depending on how intense I want it to sound. Again, go right into
the next part after finishing this.)
[C]I'm a curse and I'm a [A#]sound,
When I open up my mouth,
There's a reason I don't [F]win,
I don't know how to [C]begin
