[Intro]
 
C#m  A   x4
 
C#m       A          C#m  A E
   Pardon me while I burst
C#m       A          C#m  A E
   Pardon me while I burst
 
C#m  A  C#m  A E C#m  A  C#m  E B
 
 
[Verse]
 
Bass Only:
 
G#m           E
   A decade ago I never
                D#
thought I would be,
 
a twenty three on the verge
 
of spontaneous combustion
       C#m
Woe is me
                    B
But I guess that it comes
                F#m
with the territory
                      D
An ominous landscape of
                   C#m
never ending calamity
              G#m
I need you to hear
              E
I need you to see,
 
that I have had all I can take
 
and exploding seems like a
  G#m
definite
C#m      B
possibility
 
 
(Distortion)
 
   A
To me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m          B          A       F#m      C#m
   So pardon me while I burst into flames
          B            A
I've had enough of the world
        F#m               C#m
and its people's mindless games
          A          B
So pardon me while I burn
    E     B/D#     C#m
and rise above the flame
       A          B
Pardon me, pardon me
 
I'll never be the same
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
 
(Bass Only)
 
G#m  E   x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
(Bass Only)
 
G#m              E
   Not two days ago I was
         D#
having a look in a book
 
And I saw a picture of a
                       C#m
guy fried up above his knees
               B
I said I can relate
 
Cause lately I've been
F#m
thinking of combustication
D                      C#m
as a welcomed vacation from
            G#m           E
The burdens of the planet earth,
 
like gravity hypocrisy and
    G#m                  C#m
the perils of being in 3 D...
    B
And thinking so much
 
 
(Distortion)
 
A
differently
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m          B          A       F#m      C#m
   So pardon me while I burst into flames
          B            A
I've had enough of the world
        F#m               C#m
and its people's mindless games
          A           B
So pardon me while I burn
    E     B/D#     C#m
and rise above the flame
       A          B
Pardon me, pardon me
     E            F#m
I'll never be the same
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C#m  A
 
      C#m    A
never be the same
 
 
C#m  A   x2
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C#m       A
   Pardon me while I
C#m     A  E
burst into flames
C#m       A
   Pardon me, pardon
C#m        A (hold)
me, pardon me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m          B          A       F#m   C#m
   So pardon me while I burst into flames
          B             A
I've had enough of the world
        F#m               C#m
and its people's mindless games
          A          B
So pardon me while I burn
    E     B/D#     C#m
and rise above the flame
       A          B
Pardon me, pardon me
     E     F#m    C#m
I'll never be the same
       A         C#m    A     E
pardon me, never be the same, yeah

FIRST THIS TAB IS WORTH LEARNING! Second, it is relatively close there are just some issues with the harmony. It doesn't sound like he is playing major triads like you have written. I think there more suspended or extended and include a lot of 9s. Take the Eb (which should be a D# since this is in the key of E Major) for example. I think it's actually a D#7(#9). Also the Ab should be called a G# cause of the key as well. The chords sound good and I think you got the right bass notes for them, just the upper harmony is weird. If none of that makes sense to you then forget this comment. GOOD CHORDS WORTH LEARNING!

Thanks for the tab. I find it easier on acoustic to transpose -2 then capo II. Cheers!

Its just a bit of a problem with the site in general... just play the whole thing on 5-7-9 frets not 0-2-4
