Staplegun

 
N.C. 
They cut out pieces and they sent 'em to a lab 
N.C. 
To find out what illness they thought I might have 
N.C. 
They've been wrong before 
N.C. 
Hah, they'll be wrong again 
N.C. 
And I'll try to just keep on livin' 
 

 
N.C. 
Some people went onward before that day 
N.C. 
No one called to tell me who moved on to the next plane 
N.C. 
And I would have missed the call if they did 
N.C. 
Try to tell me who was not livin' 

{PreChorus} 
C#m                                     A 
Now I'm getting so hot that I'm throwing up 
C#m                                 A 
It could be the climate or a stomach bug 
C#m                          A 
It always happens in the same room 
        C#m                                   A 
I'm not ready to admit that it's every fuckin' room 
 

 
D                  A 
Maybe we can block out the sun 
        D               A 
With my brand new staplegun 
  D                               A                               E 
I got blackout curtains, we'll pretend that we're hiding from the weather 
D                       A 
We're tryin'a block out everyone 
              D              A 
They'll never see this staplegun 
     D                     A                E 
I'll never see there's not {?} hope for the weather 
 

 
N.C. 
Someone somewhere must've decided 
N.C. 
Staples weren't strong enough 
N.C. 
Or maybe they wanted to build a thing that could qualify as a gun 
N.C. 
This one won't be used in a shoot-out, and so far 
N.C. 
I haven't even used it once 
N.C. 
But if I need a weapon and this thing is nearby 
N.C. 
Now I guess I have one 


C#m                                        A 
Now I'm getting so scared that I'm throwing up 
         C#m                                  A 
It could be the political climate or a stomach bug 
C#m                            A 
This always happens in the same room 
        C#m            N.C 
I'm not ready to admit it's every room  


 
D                  A 
Maybe we can block out the sun 
        D               A 
With my brand new staplegun 
  D                               A                               E 
I got blackout curtains, we'll pretend that we're hiding from the weather 
D                       A 
We're tryin'a block out everyone 
              D              A 
They'll never see this staplegun 
    D                      A                E 
Nor will I see there's not {?} hope for the weather
