Gas Mask Chords

[Verse 1]
Em
I’ve got a lot of pent up energy it seems
Em
Couple nights of tossing, turning
Em
Strange as dreams have ever been
Em
Where am I gonna be, come 10 years from now?
 
          Dm                    Bm
A decade ago I was writing this same shit down
        Em
I got a lot on my mind, need to get it sorted out
Em
Like a riddle or a puzzle with the pieces scattered ‘bout
Em
What’s the picture of? What route?
 
       Am
Can't think about the doubts
      D             Bm
Gotta get up if you get knocked out
 
 
[Chorus]
             Em
You’ve got 2 ways
              Am
You’ve got today
              D                    B
You’ve got to do what the fuck you say
                Em
You’ve had your woes
 
                     Am
You’ve had your your lows
              D                     B     Em
You’ve got to pull yourself out the holes
Em                            Am               Em
Everybody gets stalled, blackballed, mind your head
                Am            Em
That’s what the sign above me read
 
           Am
Everybody “Mind Your Head”
   Em              Am
It was the sign I needed
           Em    Am
“Mind Your Head”
           Em    Am
“Mind Your Head”
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Em                                Am
I got a grocery list of things that I’d erase
                               Em
7 deadly sins, each of them at some point got a taste
                                        A
I was on a good path, watched it all explode
                   F
Lost everything I knew, oh me oh my, reload!
 
Em
Been on a hell of a road, still on it today
                           Am
I have walked through many lives
Am
Took a piece of each with me
                          Em
Life’s a journey till the end
 
Em
Taking chapters as they come
                         Am
Keep your head above the water
Am
Eyes sheltered from the sun
 
N.C.
I can’t get back the days gone by
N.C.
The past has passed
N.C.
But the future’s mine
 
N.C.
I can’t get back the days gone by
N.C.
The past has passed
N.C.
But the future’s mine
 
 
[Chorus]
             Em
You’ve got 2 ways
             Am
You’ve got today
              D                    B
You’ve got to do what the fuck you say
 
                Em
You’ve had your woes
                      Am
You’ve had your your lows
              D                      B
You’ve got to pull yourself out the holes
          Em                  Am               Em
Everybody gets stalled, blackballed, mind your head
 
                Am            Em
That’s what the sign above me read
           Am
Everybody “Mind Your Head”
   Em             Am
It was the sign I needed
 
           Em    Am
“Mind Your Head”
           Em    Am
“Mind Your Head”
           Em    Am
“Mind your head”
           Em    Am
“Mind Your Head”

[Bridge]
N.C.
What's happening?
N.C.
What's happening?
  E
I don’t know what's happening
   Am
Im trappin’ in my head again
 
Am
I’m stressing’ for the medicine
    Em
The hocus pocus focus
Em
Thought-forms, a swarm of locusts
        Am
But the crack brains not on coke
 
Am
Just in a race to go broke
    Em
The grind its hard to cope
                     G
So you charter up a rope
Am
Who wants to die an ordinary bloke?
 
Em                              G
Ordinary Mary marries ordinary Joe
Am
Ordinary’s scary, ordinary blows
 
 
[Chorus]
             Em
You’ve got 2 ways
              Am
You’ve got today
              D            B
You’ve got to do what the fuck you say
 
                Em
You’ve had your woes
                     Am
You’ve had your your lows
              D                           G  C  Am
You’ve got to pull yourself out the holes
 
 
[Outro]
Am
Don’t hold on
G
Don’t hold on
Bm            C
Don’t hold on to the past
 
Am
Don’t hold on
G
Don’t hold on
Bm            C
Don’t hold on to the past
 
Am         G    Bm C
It’s a gas mask
Am         G
It’s a gas mask
