[Intro]
E Bm A
[Verse 1]
E G A
I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi.
E G A
My girlfriend blows a boozy good-bye kiss.
E G A
I see flying squirrels and nightmares of stigmata.
E G A
Then awakening to find my Trans Am gone.
E D B
Still, I'm feeling pretty good about the future.
E D B
Yeah, everything is peaches but the cream.
E D B
I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi,
Em E B
Where things is always better than they seem.
[Chorus 1]
E G A
Say shah ah ah ah ah la la la
Em G A
Things is always better than they seem. *overlap with previous line
E G A
Sha la la la la laa
Em G A
Things is always better than they seem. *overlap with previous line
[Verse 2]
E G A
I see the guitar that my cousin played in prison,
E G A
Floating with the tv in the swimming pool.
E G A
I'm calling for the owner of the motel,
E A
Then noticing the bloodstain on the door.
E D B
I'm reaching for the shoes under the bushes,
E D B
Just in time to hear the sirens sing.
E D Bm
I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi,
Em D B
Where things is always better than they seem.
[Chorus 2]
E G A
Sha la la la la la la la
Em G A
Things is always better than they seem.
E G A
Sha la la la la la la la
Em G A
Things is always better than they seem. *overlap with previous line
[Bridge]
E
My trans Am is missing
E Em D
My trans Am is missing
B
I guess no more kissing
A E
the girl who loved my car
G
My trans Am is missing. My trans Am is missing.
B A Em G A
There's no more kissing the girl who loved my car
[Verse 3]
E G A
You know freedom's just a stupid superstition,
E A
'cause life's a highway that you travel blind.
E G A
It's true that having fun's a terminal addiction.
E G A
What good is happiness, when it's just a state of mind?
E D B
For in the prison of perpetual emotion,
E B B
We're all shackled to the millstone of our dreams.
E D B
Me, I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi,
E D B
Where things is always better than they seem.
[Chorus 3]
E G A
Sha la la la la la la la
Em G A
Things is always better than they seem. *overlap with previous line
E G A
Sha la la la la la la la
Em G A
Things is always better than they seem. *overlap with previous line
E G A
Sha la la la la la la la
Em G A
Things is always better than they seem... seem... seem... seem.
