F#
I don't care about the state of my hair
B
I get something out of nothing that just wasn't there
F# E F#
And your kiss kiss kiss is never gonna blow me away
F#
Dreams of escape keep me awake
B
I'm never gonna get out and make it away
F# E F#
I'm a stone dead tripper dying in a fantasy
B
Like a cracked open sky it helps you to die
F#
Don't split it, scrape it - you're screamin automatic pain
E
You're too young kid you're gonna get hit
F#
Looks like you're never gonna make it off the government list

B C# E (barre) B F#

F#
I don't mind about the state of my mind
B
But you know it's good for nothing and I left you behind
F# B F#
It's a sick sick city but it's never gonna make me insane
F#
If you're talking for real then go cut a deal
B
You're facing up to living out the way that you feel
F# B F#
And you shake shake shake cuz you know you'll never make it away
B
Like a cracked open sky it helps you to die
F#
Don't split it, scrape it - you're screamin automatic pain
E
You're too young kid you're gonna get hit
F#
Looks like you're never gonna make it off the government list

| It is a very cool song from a great album by a great band...actually, in retrospect the Marychain artistically developed with this album and their material afterwards became well produced and sublime...before this lot of their material and the band itself was regarded as "hype"....afte rthis they had the following and maturity and lot of bands regarded them as an influence..ie: The Pixies and all the "shoegazer" bands...so Major Valor go check out their albums after "Automatic" and I think you will appreciate The Marychain even more. 1 | |

| This was my last favorite song by the JMC. After this album, I lost much of my interest in the band, and their stuff seemed to lack what drew me to them in the first place. Blues From A Gun never fails, however, to ring true to my (occasionally) bitter edged look on the life outside my door. | |
