Intro

(Either strum once lightly for melancholy effect or rhythmically)

Over prescribed

Under the mister

(01022X) Play as walk down from open chord ‘C’

We had survived to

Turn on the history channel

And ask our esteemed panel

Why are we alive

And here's how they replied

You're what happens when two substances collide

And by all accounts you really should've died

(Then play ‘E’ chord loud into interlude…)

Verses and Chorus.]]

Verse 1

Stretched out on the tarmac

Six miles south of North Platte

He can't stand to look back

At sixteen tons of HazMat

Pre-chorus

And it's what goes

Undelivered

Undelivered

Chorus

And it's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left

It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left

Of the what? Of the head to the left

Exercise yourself 'till you're bereft

'Cause it's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left

Of the...of the...to the...

Verse

..etc.

Splayed out on a bathmat

Six miles north of South Platte

And he just wants his life back

What's in that paper knapsack

Pre-chorus

And it's what goes

Undelivered

Undelivered

Chorus

It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left

A nervous tic motion of the head

Outro

Over imbibed

Under the mister

Barely alive we

Cover the blisters in flannel

Though the words we speak are banal

Not one of them's a lie

Not one of them's a lie

You're what happens when

Two substances collide

And by all accounts

You really should've died
