Beck - Static

verse 1

A A6 A D D6 D
it’s so easy to laugh at yourself
A A6 A D D6 D
and all those jokes have already been written
A A6 A D D6 D
seems like another vain attempt
A A6 A D D6 D
to let yourself fall out of the oven

chorus

E E9 E
holy mountains
D9
they look so tired
E E9 E D A
and it’s a perfect day to lock yourself inside

verse 2
A A6 A D D6 D
who you foolin’ if the fools are right
A A6 A D D6 D
it’s the same thing but it’s almost as different
A A6 A D D6 D
hard to tell when it pacifies your mind
A A6 A D D6 D
leaves you stranded with a broken engine

chorus
E E9 E
lazy desert
D9
looks so mangled
E E9 E D A
let me drown in a convalescent bliss

bridge

E

G Bm D A
get up from your bed of rest
G Bm D A
been a long time since you’ve lived
F# G
but the static in your mind
A F#
leaves you hollow and unkind
G D A
with a shock electric wave turns you on .

verse 3

A A6 A D D6 D
you’ve been flunked out of the devils house
A A6 A D D6 D
delinquent hygienes are so abrasive
A A6 A D D6 D
some distortion that’s never been known
A A6 A D D6 D
on the treadmill you’ll be runnin’ forever

chorus

E E9 E
holy mountains
D9
they look so tired
E E9 E D A
and it’s a perfect day to lock yourself inside

looking back at some dead world that looks so new

offices and fountains that they named for you

girl you dream infections from a nauseous heart

choice cut meats from derelict boulevards

hear that lonesome whistle blow
no direction to be known

a tearful gaze turns away
eroding cold and grey
scented eunuchs clothe our wretchedness

looking back at some dead world that looks so new
