Maggots For Brains

Intro: 
G C Em  D 


 
G            C                Em                     D 
My day is so mundane, I don't think I left the house 
G              C                Em                      D 
Drank a pot of coffee, tried to write, nothing came out 
G                C                  Em                    D 
Somehow it's the weekend, I'm still bored out of my skull 
    G             C           Em              D 
And I went to the party but only on principle 
  C                  G 
Empty, who can leave? 
 

 
      G                  G/F#  Em                     D 
I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track 
       C                     D       G              C    D 
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat 
      G                     G/F#     Em                     D 
I'm a sad shell of a woman, and I've got maggots for brains 
           C                         D 
But that's just a thing that happens in my 
G      C         D     G   G/F# Em 
 In my brain, it goes away 
                D     C   D 
In my brain, it goes away 
G         C   D 
 It goes away 
 

 
G                C              Em                        D 
Everything feels moldy like the fruit that's in my fridge 
    G                 C             Em                  D 
And everything that's funny, I wish I could tell to him 
    G               C                 Em               D 
And sometimes, at a low point, I even wish for tragedy 
       G                C             Em                   D 
'Cause I know he'd come ovr and take real good care of m 
        C                           G 
It's so weird (Oh), he's not here (Oh) 
 

 
      G                  G/F#  Em                     D 
I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track 
       C                     D       G              C    D 
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat 
      G                     G/F#     Em                     D 
I'm a sad shell of a woman, and I've got maggots for brains 
           C                         D 
But that's just a thing that happens in my 
G      C         D     G   G/F# Em 
 In my brain, it goes away 
                D     C   D 
In my brain, it goes away 
G         C    D 
 It goes away, oh 
 

 
G         G/F# Em D            C 
 What can I    do but think of you? 
D            G         C     D  G 
But think of you? (But think of you?) 
         G/F# Em D            C 
What can I    do but think of you? (What can I do?) 
D            G         C     D 
But think of you? (But think of)
