Courtney love intro:
Cm
No thesis existed for burning cities down at such a rampant rate
Eb
No graphics and no xxxxxxx powerpoint presentation
Cm
So they just DIY'd that xxxx and built their own bombs
Eb
She's his suicide blond, she's number than gold

Verse 1:
Cm
Are you ready for another bad poem?
Cm
One more off key anthem
Cm                    Fm
Let your teeth sink in
                 Ab
Remember me as I was not as I am
Cm
And I said "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead,"
Fm                                               Ab
I kept wishing she had blonde ambition and she'd let it go to my head

Pre-chorus:
Ab
Rat a tat tat
Ab
Rat a tat tat tat hey
Cm
If my love is a weapon
Cm
There's no second guessing when I say
Ab
Rat a tat tat
Ab
Rat a tat tat tat hey
Bb
If my heart is a grenade
Bb
You pull the pin and say:

Chorus:
Eb
We're all fighting growing old
Bb
We're all fighting growing old
   Cm   Ab
In the hopes
     Cm          Ab
Of a few minutes more
Eb
To get on St. Peter's list
Bb                         Cm        Ab
But you need to lower your standards
         Cm
Cause it's never
Ab
Getting any better than this

Courtney love's part:
Cm
We are professional ashes of roses

This kerosene's live

You settled your score
Eb
This is where you come to beg, unborn and unshaven
Cm
Killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens
Eb
This is what we do, we nightmare you

Verse 2:
Cm
I'm about to make the sweat roll backwards
Cm
And your heart beat in reverse
Cm
Our guts can't be reworked
Fm
As alone as a little white church
Ab
In the middle of the desert getting burned
         Cm
But I'll take your heart served up two ways
Cm
I sing a bitter song
Fm
I'm the lonelier version of you
       Ab
I just don't know where it went wrong

Pre-chorus:
Ab
Rat a tat tat
Ab
Rat a tat tat tat hey
Cm
If my love is a weapon
Cm
There's no second guessing when I say
Ab
Rat a tat tat
Ab
Rat a tat tat tat hey
Bb
If my heart is a grenade
Bb
You pull the pin and say:

Chorus:
Eb
We're all fighting growing old
Bb
We're all fighting growing old
   Cm   Ab
In the hopes
     Cm          Ab
Of a few minutes more
Eb
To get on St. Peter's list
Bb                         Cm        Ab
But you need to lower your standards
         Cm
Cause it's never
Ab
Getting any better than this

Interlude: (x2)

Rat a tat tat
Cm
Rat a tat tat tat hey
Cm
It's never
Cm
Getting any better than this

Ab
Rat a tat tat
Ab
Rat a tat tat tat hey
Ab
It's never
Ab
Getting any better than this

Courtney love bridge:
(* =hold)
Eb
She's sick and she's wrong
She's young dirty blonde
Bb
And you sink inside her like a suicide bomb
Cm
He says "I've seen bigger"
She says "I've lit better"
Ab
And they throw the matches down into the glitter

Eb
Not a dry eye left in the house
Bb
Go boy, go boy, run for your life
Cm
Go boy, go boy, run for your life
Ab
Go boy, go boy, run for your life

Chorus:
(nc)
We're all fighting growing old

We're all fighting growing old

Bb                         Cm        Ab
But you need to lower your standards

Getting any better than this
