intro: 1x G - D - C
G
Blame it on the Tetons.
D C
Yeah, I need a scapegoat now.
G
No my dog won't bite you,
D
Though it had the right to.
C
You oughta give her credit
G
Cuz she knows I would've let it happen.
D - C
G
Blame it on the weekends.
D C
God I need a cola now.
G
Oh we mumble loudly,
D
Wear our blame so proudly.
C
Wear our blank expressions,
Trying to look interesting.
G
Blame it all on me cuz
D C
God I need a cold one now.
G
All them eager actors
D
Gladly taking credit
C
for the lines created
...C...
By the people tucked away from
G
sight / Is it a window
D
from the room we're bound to.
C
If you need a way out,
Would you please just let me know how?
G
Blame it on the web but
D C
the spider is your problem now.
G
Language is the liquid
D
That we're all dissolved in.
C
Great for solving problems
...C...
After it creates a problem.
G
Blame it on the Tetons,
D C
God I need a scapegoat now.
humming over 2 verses of G - D - C
G C
Everyone's a building burning
Am C
With no one to put the fire out.
G C
Standing at the window looking out,
Am C
Waiting for time to burn us down.
G C
Everyone's an ocean drowning
Am C
With no one really to show how.
G C
They might get a little better air
Am C
If they turned themselves into a cloud.
G - D - C x3
end on C
