"Longview" - Green Day - Dookie

VERSE 1:

Sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
Change the channels for one hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit, I'm sick of all the same old shit                                                      
                                                    D
And in a house with unlocked doors, I'm a fucking lazy

CHORUS:
                                                                                      
(B)        (A)       (E)    (B)
   Bite my lips and close my eyes               
            (A)    (E) 
   Take me away to paradise
(B)            (A)       (E)    (B)
   I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
                      A      Riff #1
   And I smell like shiiiiit

VERSE 2:

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat, barred indoors from the summer street
                                                 D
I locked the door to my own cell and I lost the key

CHORUS 2:
                                                                                      
(B)        (A)       (E)    (B)
   Bite my lips and close my eyes               
            (A)    (E) 
   Take me away to paradise
(B)            (A)       (E)    (B)
   I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
                      A  
   And I smell like shiiiiit

BRIDGE:

E         D
I got no motivation
  E          D
Where is my motivation
 E               D
No time for the motivation
  E        D         (B)  (A)  E - 3x | (B) A  Riff #1  
Smoking my inspi.....ration

VERSE 3:

I sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother say's to get a job, but she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation lost it's fun
                   D
You're a fucking breaking

CHORUS 3:

(B)        (A)        E     (B)  
   Bite my lips and close my eyes
          (A)     E                
 Take me away to paradise
(B)            (A)        E     (B) 
   I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
             (A)       E     
   And loneliness has to suffice
(B)        (A)        E     (B)
   Bite my lips and close my eyes
                (A)     E      
   Slipping me away to paradise
(B)          (A)   (E)       (B)
   Some say quit or I'll go blind
                    A    Riff #1
   But it's just a myyyyyyyyyth...
