[Verse 1]
Dsus2 C G
Dried up, a guitar upon my knee
Dsus2 C G
Should have sold out when the devil came for me
Dsus2 C G
Dig a hole and throw it out to sea
Bb A
Break the code, how happy I could be
[Chorus]
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still wave at the dots on the shore
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still beat my head against the wall
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still rage and wage my little war
Bb A
I'm a shade and easy to ignore
[Verse 2]
White wall, I had to paint a door
I always find that I've been through it before
Close it up and throw away the key
Break the code, how happy I could be
[Chorus]
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still wave at the dots on the shore
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still beat my head against the wall
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still rage and wage my little war
Bb A
I'm a shade and easy to ignore
[Verse 3]
Woke up and I had a big idea
Buy a new soul at the start of every year
I paid up and it cost me pretty dear
Here's a hymn to those that disappear
[Chorus]
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still wave at the dots on the shore
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still beat my head against the wall
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still rage and wage my little war
Bb A
I'm a shade and easy to ignore

Dried up, a guitar upon my knee

Dig a hole and throw it out to sea

I still rage and wage my little war

Close it up and throw away the key
Break the code, how happy I could be
I woke up and I had a big idea
To buy a new soul at the start of every year
I paid up and it cost me pretty dear
