[Riff 1] x2

I met this dude the other day at a sports bar
We had a beer, shot some pool, watchin’ NASCAR
We talked about how everything was falling apart
But here we are now, We’ll make it some how

Because the world just keeps on spinning round and round
(round and round)
Tell me we’re so damn lost, we can’t be found
(can’t be found)
How much better can it get? Ain’t seen nothing yet?
It’s a perfect planet
How much better can it get? Haven’t broke a sweat?
It’s a perfect planet

[Riff 1] x2
It’s a perfect planet

So this dude he said his girlfriend left him last night
She swore it’s over, never call, it was a big fight
Shake it off and go like it’s all right
No more thinking, keep on drinking

Because the world just keeps on spinning round and round
(round and round)
Tell me we’re so damn lost, we can’t be found
(can’t be found)
How much better can it get? Ain’t seen nothing yet?
It’s a perfect planet
How much better can it get? Haven’t broke a sweat?
It’s a perfect planet

And even though it seems
we’re falling fast and never get enough
And even though it seems we’ll never have enough
We’re still alive
So alive

[Riff 1] x2
How much better can it get
Ain’t seen nothing yet
It’s a perfect planet

Because the world just keeps on spinning round and round
(round and round)
Tell me we’re so damn lost, we can’t be found
(can’t be found)
How much better can it get? Ain’t seen nothing yet?
It’s a perfect planet
How much better can it get? Haven’t broke a sweat?
It’s a perfect planet

Your asteroids bounce off her
Like a trampoline
Sometimes all she can do is shake
Looking out for you and I
And all she sees
Is everybody making big mistakes
Taking what they should just leave
You give it away for free now

Beautiful bomb
It’s so beautiful

Fools talking ‘bout there’s enough
Room for just one of us
Sometimes all I can do is laugh
But the joke is getting tired
And old and dangerous
And the ink ran out on the laugh-o-meter graph
I suggest you fire your staff

It’s getting so obnoxious

Beautiful bomb
We’re living on a
Beautiful bomb
We’re living on a
Beautiful bomb
It’s so beautiful

Beautiful bomb
We’re living on a
Beautiful bomb
We’re living on a
Beautiful bomb
It’s so beautiful

Great song, one of my favorites, finally tabbed!

Great song by a great band! This is the first non-happy song I’ve
heard from them. Like with all their songs, you have to tune down
one note to play along to the CD.

VERSE 1:

--------

I’m lookin’ at my watch
At all the time that’s been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I’ve tripped and I’ve fallen

VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]

--------

Don’t want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman

CHORUS: [see tab below]

-------

E Am7
I love, to play
D G F#
When the chance is there to take

[the second and third time you play the chorus tab in the song it
might have some tiny variations, but I don’t wanna bother to tab
them out, it’s basically the same.]

VERSE 3: [play like verse 1]

--------

I’m moppin’ up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I’m packin’ up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen

CHORUS: [play like previous chorus]

Verse 1:
The shoes you wear, ain’t the shoes I wear but I don't care.

You’ve got things to say. But they’re thrown away, cause they’re so passe

To them, they, who are the anyway? They’re just beating each other at

Being each other with nothing to say.[C-C-G]

Verse 2:
Now everyone cares, cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way!

And I heard them say, “Don’t be square!” So square we’ll stay without

Them, they, who are they anyway? They’re just beating each other at

Being each other with nothing to say.

Chorus:
I’m holding on to my old man’s sneakers,

Just going deaf to my hi-fi records and,

Hangin’ round at the pawn shop waiting for nothing to change,

Cause anything strange is wrong.[C-C-G]

Verse 3:
Now here we are, in a dead man’s car going to the show.
In my old chapeau, well it’s full of holes, but it’s got more soul
then them, they, who are they anyway? They’re just beating each other at
being each other with nothing to say?

Chorus

And there you go! One last thing, end on the C-C-G thing and the song is done! Tah-dah!

Verse:
Why the hell we waitin’ in line
A billion cars in front and behind
We’re goin’ the way of the dinosaur
And they’ll make petrol out of us next time
And everything would be alright
If this coffin that I’m in was a kite
I'd sail on home to my TV set
I’m glad Sopranos are on Sunday night

Pre-Chorus:
This is played over top the chords.

Hey you in the car in front of me
I’ve got a message for you
Could you pass it on to
The guy sittin’ in the car in front of ya
Ask him to pass it along too

Chorus:
If we all drive 25 we’re getting’ nowhere
If we all drive 75 we’ll get there faster
If we all drive 105 we’ll get to heaven on time

Verse:
Bumper to bumper grumps
All racing to get over the hump
Then we realize what’s on the other side
And it’s no wonder why they come undone
But i don’t let it get me down
I just take a look around
My wind shield is a movie screen
And everybody’s actin’ like a clown

Pre-Chorus:
Hey you in the car in front of me
I’ve got a message for you
Could you pass it on to
The guy sittin’ in the car in front of ya
Ask him to pass it along too

Chorus:
If we all drive 25 we’re getting’ nowhere
If we all drive 75 we’ll get there faster
If we all drive 105 we’ll get to heaven on time

Bridge:
Bass only

And in the endzone we see a couch
With our TV dinner eyes
So if you see my window rollin’ down
I’ve got a chainsaw for a mouth to cut you down to size

Pre-Chorus:
Hey you in the car in front of me
I’ve got a message for you
Could you pass it on to
The guy sittin’ in the car in front of ya
Ask him to pass it along too

Chorus:
If we all drive 25 we’re getting’ nowhere
If we all drive 75 we’ll get there faster
If we all drive 105 we’ll get to heaven on time

Lyrics:
(Verse) Today you sat up half asleep and stared into this cluttered empty
apartment and died. What the where the how the why the hell. You can
watch your step and still you’ll never see the mines.
(Chorus 1) Stay up man don’t drown. It’s time to go to town. Today is
just another yesterday. You’re back in the game again. You’re gonna win
it in the end. Disconnect the dots and be on your way.
(Verse) Every day I see you sinking low. Dragging around like it was the
end of the world. She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone man, let her go.
Cause in the end she didn’t turn out to be much of a girl.
(Chorus 2) Stay up man don’t sink. Before you have time to blink, your
number one will walk through the door and wanna play. You’re back in the
game again. You’re gonna win it in the end. Disconnect the dots,
disconnect the dots and be on your way.
(Bridge) Thought you had it good, so secure so sure. Looking at the map
didn’t see the detour. DIVORCE or something of the sort, disconnect the
dots, man the ball’s in your court. Get yourself a shave and put on your
best hat the world is your aquarium and you are the cat, so dive right in
and don’t forget to swim, you’re back in the game again.
(Repeat 1st chorus)

That’s it! I hope you like what you see, and please e-mail me with any
