!!! Capo: 3rd fret !!!     [ 95 bpm ]       KEY: G Major

[ Em   | D    | C    | Am   ]        (repeat Chords for song)

Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah (x2)

We’re all goin’, we’re all goin’

Well, the lampshade’s on fire when the lights go out
The room lit up and we ran about
Well, this is what I really call a party now
Packed up our cars, moved to the next town

Well, the lampshades’s on fire when the lights go out
This is what I really call a party now
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
This one’s done so where to now?

Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
Well you all know what I’m talking’ about
Shaved off my eyebrows when I fall to the ground
So I can’t look surprised right now

Pack up again, head to the next place
Where we’ll make the same mistakes
Burn it up, or just chop it down
Ah, this one’s done so where to now?

[ G   | F    | C    | C   ]       

Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah (x2)

We’re all goin’, we’re all goin’

[ Em   | D    | C    | Am   ]

Well, the lampshade’s on fire when the lights go out
This is what I really call a party now
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
Ah, this one’s done so where to now?


Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
Well, you all know what I’m talkin’ about
The room lights up, well, we’re still dancing around
We’re havin’ fun, havin’ some for now

Pack up again, head to the next place
Where we’ll make the same mistakes
Open one up and let it fall to the ground
Pile out the door when it all runs out

[ G   | F    | C    | C   ]       

Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-dah

We’re all goin’, we’re all goin’

We have spines in our bones
We’ll eat your food, we’ll throw stones

Oh, this is how it’s always gone
And this is how it’s goin’ to go

Well, we’re the human race
We’re goin’ to party out of this place
And then move on

Tough love

We’ll kill you off and then make a clone
Yeah, we got spines, yeah, we have bones
This is how it’s always gone
And this is how it’s goin’ to go

As our feelings are getting hurt
Ah, we want you to do the work
Our ass looks great inside these jeans
Well, we all just don’t wanna’ clean

Oh, this is how it’s always been
And this is how it’s goin’ to be
So, you just move on

[ Em   | D    | C    | Am   ]        

The air’s on fire so we’re movin’ on
Better find another one ’cause this one’s done
Waitin’ for the magic when the scientists glow
To push, push, push, push, pull us up

Spend some time to float in outer space
Find another planet, make the same mistakes
Our mind’s all shattered when we climb aboard
Hopin’ for the scientists to find another door
