Standard (EADGBE)

<high f,="" barring="" the="" 8th="" fret:="" x="" 8="" 10="">

Intro

Guitar 1 (repeat many times): C

Verse 1

I can’t smell a rat when it’s all rat

I can’t find one in an elevator

My mind doesn’t work so bad

But I am a poor exterminator, that’s right

<repeat guitar="" 2="" riff="">

I can’t destroy entirely

Or annihilate a little later

I can’t see the entire city

But I’m not a bad exterminator

Chorus

m just a shade shy of true wickedness

m a shade shy of truly loving it, yeah

There are other things I’d rather be doing

Even nothing

Even nothing

Even nothing with you

<repeat guitar="" 2="" riff="">

Verse 2

One day I’ll make some honest rock n roll

Full of handclaps and gang vocals

I’m gonna get all the children involved

We’re gonna get lost on all you locals

Chorus

We’ll be a shade shy of true wickedness

We’ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah

There are other things we’ll rather be doing, sure

Even nothing

Even nothing

Even nothing with you

Bridge

We’ll load out through the snow through

Small groups of people smoking

Hey, get that kick drum loaded

Into the backseat folded down

We’ll go virtually unnoticed

What’s gripping the city ain’t hitting the town

<repeat guitar="" 2="" riff="">

Chorus

We’ll be a shade shy of true wickedness

We’ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah

There are other things that we’ll surely miss

Bridge

We’ll load out through the snow through

Small groups of people smoking

Hey, get that kick drum loaded

Into the backseat folded down

We’ll go perfectly unnoticed

What’s gripping the city ain’t hitting the town
