     VERSE:


    Cmin7         Eii
      A decade ago, I never thought I would be,
    D#7
    at twenty three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion.Woe-is-me.
    Cmin7                      B
    But I guess that it comes, with the territory;
    D
    an ominous landscape of never ending calamity.
    Cmin7               G#min7            Eii
    I need you to hear, I need you to see, that I have had all I can take and
                                     D#min7      B  A
    exploding seems like a definite, possibility    to me.


     CHORUS:


    C#5       B5 A5            F#5-E5-F#5-E5
    So pardon me while I burst into flames.
    C#5        B5 A5                     F#5-E5-  F#5-E5
    I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games.
    C#5       A5   B5
    So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
    C#5        A5   B5      F#5-E5  F#5-E5
    Pardon me, pardon me....I'll never be the same.

     VERSE 2:


    C#min7            E
    Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book
    D#7
    and I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees.
    C#min7                  B                       D
    I said, "I can relate," cause' lately I've been thinking of combustication
    D
    as a welcomed vacation,
    C#min7               G#min7
    from the burdens of the planet earth.
    Eii                                                        B
    Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D...
                         A
    and thinking so much differently.


     CHORUS:


    C#5       B5 A5            F#5-E5-F#5-E5
    So pardon me while I burst into flames.
    C#5        B5 A5                     F#5-E5-  F#5-E5
    I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games.
    C#5       A5   B5
    So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
    C#5        A5   B5      F#5-E5  F#5-E5
    Pardon me, pardon me....I'll never be the same.
