   What will they say?
C            Em   C                  Em
I say what I mean, to the back of my teeth
F  Fm                        Am   G  D
   While I sleep through the week
 
[Chorus]
      C          Em
I'm upstairs in my room
F                  Am
 You're downstairs dancin'
  C           Em
I'll just wait here for you
F               Am            C
 I'll just keep campin' in my bed
        Em              F              Am
Build a tent, hold some pillows, and pretend
         C           Em
We're upstairs in my room
F                         Am
 While they're downstairs dancin'

Build a tent, hold some pillows, and pretend
         C           Em
We're upstairs in my room
F                         Am
 While they're downstairs dancin'
 
[Bridge]
        F          C
Runnin' out of supplies
          F          C
Tryin' my best to survive
           F                  C             G
And all my friends are slowly dyin' one by one
                           G
But it sounds like so much fun
 
[Chorus]
      C              Em
I'm upstairs in your room
F                  Am
 You're downstairs dancin'
  C           Em
I'll just wait here for you
F               Am                  C
 I'll just keep campin' in your bed
        Em           F                Am
In your bed, oh, and soon I'll just forget
         C            Em   F  Am
I'm all alone in your room

Just a tip here. If you transpose the song by +5 and move the capo onto the 1st fret, you get a much cleaner sound closer to what the original song sounds like. GREAT tab though, I was thoroughly pleased.

Joe is his generations best songwriter. I just paid for PRO and am checking out how we can add their tab, lyrics, keys la de da. IM OBSESSED WITH THIS BAND AND I PROMOTE THEM TO EVERYONE I TALK TO. AS SOON AS I HAVE TIME I WILL GET EVRYTHING ON WOOF AND THE OTHER 5O GOLD SONG SINCE THE RUNAWAYS. #DEALCASINOSAURUS IS A HUGE PART OF EVERYDAY.
