Song Till My Head Falls Off
Album: Factory Showroom
From: J.D., Tom.McGonegal@Prudential.com
Verse 1:
C G F
There were 87 Advil in the bottle now there's 30 left
C G F
I ate 47 so what happened to the other 10?
Am Am7/G D/F# F
Why do you suspiciously change the subject and break my concentration
C G F
As I dump the bottle out and I count the Advil up again?
Pre chorus:
G F
Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thought
G F
Have some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself
Chorus:
C G F
And I'm not done
C F C G
And I won't be till my head falls off
Verse 2:
C G F
Hitting every pocket on my shirt, pants and overcoat
C G F
And I'm hitting them again but I don't know where I put my notes
Am Am7/G D/F# F
Clearing my throat, and gripping the lectern I smile and face my
audience
C G F
Clearing his throat and smiling with his hands on the bathroom sink
Pre chorus:
G F
And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall
G F
I see stuff through the glass that I don't recognize at all
Chorus:
C G F
And I'm not done
C F C G
And I won't be till my head falls off
C F C G
Though it may not be a long way off
Bridge:
C F / Eb D Ab / G
I'm not done talking yet
C F / Eb D Ab / G
I'm not done talking yet
(Guitar solo: (Don't know the solo but these are the chords)
( C G F, C G F)
Pre chorus:
G F
And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall
G F
I see a broken figure silhouetted on the wall
Chorus:
C G F
And I'm not done
C F C G
And I won't be till my head falls off
C F C G
Though it may not be a long way off
C F C G C F C G C
I won't be done until my head falls off

| personally, i think David Grimmer is on the right path, but i dont think its about old age in particular. i think the person described is a guy with simply many mental issues. he's obsesive compulsive (counting the advil), overly paranoid (why do you suspiciously), short term memory loss (someone more forgetful than yourself), afraid of speaking in front of large crowds, ect... this song i dobut is about any one thing in particular, seeing as how most of their songs are nonsense.
