Artist: Green Day Album: Dookie Tuning: Half a step down Pedals: Distortion Tabbed by: James Caygill (james@archives-of-pain.freeserve.co.uk) Sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on. I change the channels for an hour or two. Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit, I'm sick of all the same old shit. In the house with unlocked doors and I'm fucking lazy.

I sure as hell can't do it by myself. I'm feeling like a dog in heat, barred indoors from the summer street I locked to door to my own cell and I lost the key. Chorus: Bite my lip and close my eyes, Take me away to paradise. I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind, and I smell like shit.

No time for motivation, Smoking my inspir w/Riff 2 -ation. Verse: Site around and watch the phone, but no one's calling. Call me pathetic, call me what you will. My mother says to get a job, she don't like the one she's got. When masturbation's lost it's fun you're fucking breaking. (Play Riff 1 x2 here) Chorus: Bite my lip and close my eyes, Take me away to paradise. I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind And I smell like shit. Bite my lip and close my eyes, I'm tripping away to paradise. Some say quit or I'll go blind But it's just a myth.
