[Intro]

D  C#m  Bm
D  C#m  Bm  C#m
D  C#m  E
 
[Verse 1]
        D           C#m    Bm             C#m
Uh well, I touched down en route to my connection
D              C#m        Bm          A
  A man in the gift shop called me a fag
D        C#m     Bm          C#m
  I feel like my tucked-up erection
D           C#m          E
  There's a pressure all over my head
D       C#m             Bm        C#m
  And I know this is how I get paid, but
D           C#m           Bm
  It's not really how I wanna get laid, so
D         C#m          Bm         C#m
  Hundred forty when I last got weighed
        D           C#m      Bm    C#m
And I'm gonna lose more by Saturday
 
 
[Chorus]
            Bm7
And they're playing your song on the radio station
C#m                  E
Mugging me off all across the nation
Bm7
If you don't eat then you'll never grow
   D                                E
I should've learned that quite a while ago
  Bm7
I know it gets hard sometimes
D                           E
Making out with people that you don't like
   Bm7
I know you don't feel alright
         D                E
But you look just fine to me
 
 
[Verse 2]
        D      C#m           Bm7         C#m
Well, I pissed myself on the Texan intersection
     D                          Bm7      A
With George spilling things all over his bag
       D            C#m          Bm7         C#m
And I took shit for being quiet during the election
D             C#m          E
Maybe that's fair, but I'm   a busy guy
 D     C#m           Bm7        C#m
I get stoned and go where I get paid, but
D           C#m       Bm7        A
  It's not really how babies get made, so
D             C#m             Bm7         C#m
  I'll take a minute when I think I won't die
      D       C#m            C#m     A
from stopping, oh, I'm just a   busy  guy
 
 
 
[Chorus]
            Bm7
And they're playing your song on the radio station
C#m                  E
Mugging me off all across the nation
Bm7
If you don't shoot, then you'll never know
   D                                E
You should've learned that quite a while ago
  Bm7
I know it gets hard sometimes
D                           E
Taking out your shit on the ones you like
   Bm7
You know I didn't feel alright
         D                E
Until you spoke to me
 
 
[Bridge]
F#m G#m A E D   E                    F#m G#m A E D
You,             I've been waiting for you
    E                       F#m G#m A E D
My whole life, waiting for you
E                       F#m G#m A E D
  I've been waiting for you
 
 
[Outro]
           D          C#m              Bm7        C#m
Well, I'm gonna get a gun but it's for my own protection
     D         C#m      Bm7          A
Or maybe I'll grab myself a fun knife
D  C#m  Bm7 C#m
D  C#m  Bm7 E

There's no C#m in the chorus. It's a D instead.

i like adding a final A#; makes it sound finished
