[“Peter Brady”]
Intro:
x 2
(enter drums)
x 2
:
Don’t you see that people will like you for who you
are Cause life is like a sitcom, a senior prom
And I’m okay and you’re okay, grade A, ten-four
Roger, over and out, listen up, check it out
:
There’s something ugly inside of you, inside of you
There’s a big empty hole inside of you, inside of you
There’s something creepy crawling on your brain
There’s something in you, it’s red white and blue inside of you
x4
:
As long as you don’t have lots of zits or small tits
Or crooked teeth then you won’t be a freak, a wildebeaste
And people won’t tape signs on to your back or beat the crap
Out of you or ignore your sorry ass, see
:
There’s something vapid inside of you, inside of you
There’s a sweet little robot inside of you, inside of you
So take off that silly moustache
Don’t be a baby — there’s a Pete Brady inside of you
x4 (with “Inside of you”s)
Next, play a palm-muted C for about four bars. (This is the “Boy, I really
learned a lot today” part.)
:
One: You act your age
Two: You don’t try to be something you’re not
Three: You find out in advance
A#(pm)
What restaurant your mom and dad are going to
And go someplace else
x3 (with “Go someplace else”s)

Lead riff — played intermittently throughout, usually after the chorus
(keyboard transcribed for guitar)

this is my first tab but I am sure its correct.
I would not bet my cock on the strumming but
I think if you listen to the song you will get the idea.
and since I am a ty guitarest i don’t know the solo thingy.
so maybe some day some one will post it
or once I figure it out some how.

Main riff: G Eb Bb D

Chorus:

She’s a dingbat (x2)

Verse:

Always walking in to trees
Wakes me up to ask if I’m asleep

Sits around stares in to space
Oh God I hate her face cause she’s a dingbat

Her dumbness really bothers me
Brainless questions constantly
I wish shut her mouth, give me a break
Oh God I hate her face

the mainriff PM a couple of times. then continue with the verse.

She lives alone in her own world
Naive wide-eyed little girl
Dosen’t care that the world’s a mess
She’s such a waste of flesh, a waste of flesh

any spelling mistakes or so…)

pm palm-muted

[“My Brain Hurts”]

[ A / E / D ] x4 (with lead)

A (pm) D
Time gets wasted every day, I watch the minutes tick away
My brain is melting like a chocolate ice cream bar
A (pm) D
Like characters on TV these people look like maggots to me
And I wonder what the hell is wrong with me

[ A / E / D ] x2 (with lead)

Milk-fed little beauty queen, she’s straight out of a magazine
She sits beside me breathing different air than me
Perfect generation sees that I’m infected with disease
And everything just crumbles and there’s nothing left

If I wanna do something right
I gotta do it myself cause someone else will fk it up
It isn’t all black and white
And now it’s time to stop and figure out reality
No one knows what they’re talking about
If what they’re talking don’t make any sense to me
I gotta figure it out
Cause I don’t want something to believe in

[Solo is played over these chords:]

[ A / F# / D / E ] x2
[ A / C# / D ] x4

[Repeat Chorus]

My brain hurts, my brain hurts, my brain hurts today
My brain hurts, my brain hurts, my brain hurts today

___________________________

I looked for this song for a long time, and couldn’t find it;
so I decided to get off my butt and figure it out myself…

You’ll have to listen to the song to catch the strumming patterns and what not…
It would be fairly complex to type out.
It also has A LOT of palm muting in it; again, listen to the song…

Enjoy!

What I wanna say I’m gonna say to you
And what I wanna do I’m gonna do to you
And if you should decide that
That you don’t like it, get out
When I wanna talk I’ll talk all over you
And when I wanna walk I’ll walk all over you
And if I have to drag you
Kicking and screaming I will
What I wanna do, what I wanna do-oo-oo, I’m gonna strangle you

[ B / E / A / D ] x3
[ B / D / A ]

I’m sick of putting you down, pushing you around
I’m tired of making you feel like you are an eel
I tend to open my yap, make you feel like crap
And I think that you oughta kick me out on my ass

Cause I’m tired of making you cry (I’m tired of making you cry)
I’m tired of making you cry (I’m tired of making you cry)
I’m tired of making you cry (I’m tired of making you cry)
I’m tired of making you cry
[ B / E / A / D ] x3
[ B / D / A ]

Why do you put up with my crybaby shit?
I sit there eating your food, I’m in a bad mood
I’m bored or mad so I verbally harass you
My way of showing my love, I give you a shove, I suck, yeah
[Repeat Chorus]

[“I Wanna Be With You Tonight”]
[Intro – A with a few quick changes to D]

I just know your name but still just the same
I see you in my dreams at night, I see you in my food when I eat
I see your pretty mug, I think that I’m in love
If you kissed me I would blow up, if I kissed you would you throw up?
I try to say “Don’t walk away from me in my condition”

I sit and look at you and think of what to do
After school when you go home and leave me standing all alone here
And I try to speak, my mouth’s dry, I’m weak
I’m sure you’ve got a boyfriend and he’s probably a lawyer or something
I try to say “Don’t walk away from me in my condition” cause

I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

I can’t look to the other side of the room and you’re ignoring me
You must think that I’m gay because I can’t find a way to ask you out
But I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying
[Key change]

I sit and look at you and think of what to do
After school when you go home and leave me standing all alone here
And I try to speak, my mouth’s dry, I’m weak
I’m sure you’ve got a boyfriend and he’s probably a lawyer or something
I try to say “Don’t walk away from me in my condition” cause

I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

:
Jeannie’s having problems with her ovaries
She’s got trouble with her tubes
If you go past her vagina and her cervix you will find
A completely empty room

:
Cause Jeannie’s got a problem with her uterus
Her uterus is useless
Jeannie’s got a problem with her uterus
Her uterus is useless

:
Her physician injected fluids in her private parts
But she just won’t believe
That the efforts to erradicate her female trouble
Will cause her to conceive

[Repeat Chorus]

Jeannie isn’t ovulating, Jeannie isn’t ovulating
Jeannie isn’t ovulating now

No simple yeast or bladder infection could compare
To the pain that Jeannie’s going through this year
Her husband’s sperm was studied and swiftly passed the test
Now Jeannie’s operation must commence
E G A(12th)
Artificial insemination can’t
E G A(12th)
Fertilize poor Jeannie’s rotten eggs

[ A / E / D ] x4

:
Jeannie isn’t ovulating even though
She took all the proper pills
Jeannie wants a baby but she cannot pay
The gigantic doctor bills

[Repeat Chorus twice]

[End on A]
