Earwig

from Eat Your Paisley

Pretty easy chord wise. Just go for some crazy strumming during
the "you got an earwig" bit, and fingerpick something during the
verse. Should sound close.


Verse:
-----
     D                    G
Your ears fell off in the parkin' lot
Your blood's still drippin' god I hope it clots
You say you're okay but we know your not
Your eyes went crossed do you see spots?

Pre-Chorus:
----------
     Em                         Bm
Well I'm not sayin' that you're gonna die
  G                                 A
I just might be hintin' that you'll feel a little ill
And I guess we've all learned a lesson
And I guess we'll all get a little thrill

verse:
Your hands fell off and then your mind eroded
Your arms fell asleep and then your lungs corroded
Shoulders slumped forward then your heart exploded
Looked pretty gross so we all got loaded

pre-chorus:
Well I'm not sayin' that you're gonna die
I just might be hintin' that you won't be around
And you can go ahead and sell all your records
'Cause you got an appointment 6 feet underground And

Chorus:
------
B   F#m
    You got an earwig
B      F#m
  It's crawling towards your brain
B   F#m
    You got an earwig
B     F#m            A
  The glorious pain

verse:
Your mind went blank about a week ago
Your hair fell out but you didn't know
Ya' might wanna relax and take it slow
'Cause in a couple a' days you might begin to glow

pre-chorus:
Well I'm not sayin' that you're gonna die
I just might be hintin' that you may puke a lot
And could ya' pay me that money ya' owe me
Ya' know I really hate to put you on the spot 'Cause

chorus:
You got an earwig
It's crawling towards your brain
And you got an earwig
The fashionable pain

Instrumental: (quick strums with bass riff underneath)
------------
D   D   G   G   x4

pre-chorus:
Well I'm not sayin' that you're gonna die
I just might be hintin' that you'll be a little ill
And I guess we've all learned our lesson
And I guess we'll all get a little thrill

End on D.
