CAPO: 2nd Fret 


Intro: Am 

                                                   C 
Sitting with the Number Eight platter at the restaurant 
                                       Am 
Four twenty-nine for almost anything I want 

Add it up, it's cheaper than the stuff I make myself 
                  E7               Am 
I get by, I never needed anybody's help 
                  Em                       C 
And I tore out an ad and they told me that I 
                                               Am 
Would press the buzzer, would press the buzzer 
                Em                        C 
At the graduate lab, they were doing some tests 
                                          Am 
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer__

Ride the circle off of the highway 
       G             C  
Spiral into the driveway 
                      Bb 
In the maze of old prefabs 
                   F      E7     Am 
They'll be waiting at the la-a-e-ab 


                                                      C 
I don't know how everybody makes it through the daily drill 
                                         Am 
Paint the nails, walk the dog, pay every bill 

I'm feeling sorry for this guy that I press to shock 
                          E7                Am 
He gets the answers wrong, I have to up the watts 
                    Em                        C 
And he begged me to stop, but they told me to go 
                                            Am 
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer 
                 Em                    C 
So get out of my head, just give me my line 
                                          Am 
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer__

                                              C 
They called me back to the lab to discuss the test 
                                             Am 
I put my earrings on, found my heels, wore a dress 

Right away I knew, it was like I'd failed a quiz 
                     E7                  Am 
The man said â'Do you know what a fascist is'â' 
                             Em                         C 
I said, â'Yeah, it's when you do things you're not proud of, 
                                            Am 
But you're scraping by, taking orders from above.â' 
                 
I get it now, I'm the face, I'm the cause of war 
                       E7                  Am 
We don't have to blame white-coated men anymore 


                   Em                             C 
When I knew it was wrong, I played it just like a game 
                                            Am 
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer 
                    Em                      C 
Here's your seventy bucks, now everything's changed 
                                           Bm 
I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer 


                ** Key Change - Up 2 Semitones ** 

                           F#m                        D 
But tell me where are your stocks, would you do this again' 
                      Bm 
I press the buzzer 
                          F#m                         D 
And tell me who made your clothes, was it children or men' 
                      Bm 
I press the buzzer
