Disco In The Panic Room Chords

[Intro]
F Bb Fm Bbm
 
[Verse 1]
Fm                                             Bb
I’ve got skills, they don’t know where to use me
FM           F             Bb
I’m like the best-dressed dude at the nude beach
Fm               Bb
Nice to meet you
 
Fm Bb
 
Fm
I am more the quiet type
Bb
I tend to be a shyer guy
   Fm
As safe as knee and elbow pads
       Bb
In cul-de-sacs with traffic lights
  Fm
I spend most of my time alone
Cm     Bb
It’s not all that bad, you know
  Fm                                   Bm
I lost some weight from anxious pacing talking on the telephone
 
Fm                  F
If I look cool, I’m foolin’ you
       Bm
At any point you can assume
   Fm                               Bm
My mind’s computing every path that screws up what I want to do
Fm*
Lock the door
Ab*
Seal it, too
Bb*            Bb*
Dancing in the panic room!
 
[Chorus]
Fm
I made a promise
           Bb
Now I feel nauseous
        Fm                                    Bb
As if I chugged a cup of stuff you clean your countertops with
Fm
But no Lysol will solve this
Bb
So I am out of options
Fm                           Cm       Bb
It’s past my bedtime and I’m honestly exhausted
 
[Verse 2]
F                                   Bb
And I just want something more than nostalgia
Fm                                   Bb
Received like a hot dog down at the dog park
Fm      Bbm         Bb Fm Cm Bb
Be your best friend
 
Fm
The things I that I can’t shoulder well
  Cm            Bb
I pass on to my older self
Fm                                         Bb
And hope I learn to cope so I don’t end up broke or overwhelmed
 
       Fm
‘Cause vocally, I’m not the best
    C                Bb
I’m openly admitting that
Fm                                                    Bb
But if you cared I doubt you would have made it past McCracken, yeah
Fm                   F
If I look brave, I’m secretly
Bb
Pretending I’m a different me
Fm                                                           Bb
The one onstage who plays and sings and claps and shouts and basically
Fm*
Behind the door
Ab*
Just out of view
Bb*            Bb*
Dancing in the panic room
 
[Chorus]
Fm
I made a promise
           Bb
Now I feel nauseous
        Fm                                    Bb
As if I chugged a cup of stuff you clean your countertops with
Fm
But no Lysol will solve this
Bb
So I am out of options
Fm                           C        Bb        Ab
It’s past my bedtime and I’m honestly exhausted
Bb
But if you wanted
 
Fm
He-he-hey!
Bb    Fm   C
He-he-hey!
 
Bb     Fm
He-he-hey!
Bb    Fm   Cm Bb Ab  Bb
He-he-hey!
 
[Bridge]
 
F Fm Cm Fm Eb Fm Eb
 
Fm
Though wouldn’t it be the best if all the answers to our questions
                                          Bbm
Came as sheepish realizations, obvious in retrospective
Fm
Like the answer for anxiety that’s crept into your head
                                                    C
Is as simple as your printer: you forgot to plug it in
 
Fm                                         Eb
Instead of playing Twister with my lyrics ‘cause I can
    Fm                                        Bbm
And filling every syllable with lots of bull, should I instead
             Fm
Give you the simple sing-along you’re all hoping will come next
        Cm                             C
Or do I load this mother up and do-dah-do what I do best?
 
[Chorus]
Fm
So here’s my promise
Bbm
Don’t aim for flawless
       Fm                                 C             Bb
‘Cause some of your best art is made with chalk on your sidewalk, it's
Fm                         Bb
Gone when you wash it off, it’s
                        Fm
Not made for fame or profits
                             Cm             Bb      Ab
It’s lookin’ back and givin’ all you got to top it
Bb
But if you want it
 
Fm
He-he-hey!
Bb    Fm
He-he-hey!
 
Bb     Fm  C
He-he-hey!
Bb    Fm   Cm Bbm Bb Ab  Bb
He-he-hey!
 
 
He-he-hey!
