Verse 1:
C
I can�t smell a rat when it�s all rat
C
I can�t find one in an elevator
C
My mind doesn�t work so bad
C
But I am a poor exterminator, that�s right
C
I can�t destroy entirely
C
Or annihilate a little later
C
I can�t see the entire city
C
But I�m not a bad exterminator
Chorus:
C G F C
I�m just a shade shy of true wickedness
G F C
I�m a shade shy of truly loving it, yeah
G F C G
There are other things I�d rather be doing
F
Even nothing
D
Even nothing
C
Even nothing with you
Verse 2:
C
One day I�ll make some honest rock n roll
C
Full of handclaps and gang vocals
C
I�m gonna get all the children involved
C
We�re gonna get lost on all you locals
Chorus:
C G F C
We�ll be a shade shy of true wickedness
G F C
We�ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah
G F C G
There are other things we�ll rather be doing, sure
F
Even nothing
D
Even nothing
C
Even nothing with you
Bridge:
D
We�ll load out through the snow through
F2
Small groups of people smoking
C
Hey, get that kick drum loaded
G D
Into the backseat folded down
We�ll go virtually unnoticed
F2 C
What�s gripping the city ain�t hitting the town
Chorus:
C G F C
We�ll be a shade shy of true wickedness
G F C
We�ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah
G F C
There are other things that we�ll surely miss
Bridge:
D
We�ll load out through the snow through
F2
Small groups of people smoking
C
Hey, get that kick drum loaded
G D
Into the backseat folded down
We�ll go perfectly unnoticed
F2 C
What�s gripping the city ain�t hitting the town
