[A] I was Rimbaud and [Bm]he was Paul Verlaine
[G] In my, my, [D]my imagi[A]imagination
[G] So many cringes and [D]heroin binges, [A]
I was [A]coming off the hinges, [Bm]living on the fringes

Sitting in east on their [Bm]communista keisters
[G] Writing a[D]about their ejacu[A]ejaculations
"I like my [G]men like I like my [D]coffee

Whilst[G]Whilst staining the [D]pages of the [A]nation[D]nation, oh, yeah

Chorus
The [Bm]worst inside of [A]us begets
That [G]feeling on the [D]internet

Outro
Am I[G]I ironically woke? The [D]butt of my joke?
Or am [A]I just some post-coke, [Bm]average, skinny bloke
[G] Calling his [D]ego imagi[A]imagination?
I've not [G]picked up that in a [D]thousand four hundred [A]days
And nine hours and [Bm]sixteen minutes, babe
[G] It's kind of my [D]daily ite[A]iteration [D]
 
[G] [D] [A] [Bm] [G] [D]
