Am 
Brain dead 

That's what I am lying here 
    F 
I'm brain dead 

What a mess I've got us into 

Dm 
Brain dead 
Em          E           Am 
Everybody's setting off alarms 

N.C. 
Baby, maybe lift my head up 


Am 
I see 

I just pulled a doozie 
          F 
Don't ask why me 

Roger pass the uzi 
       Dm 
As the MD 
Em              E               Am 
Lifts me in his cruisy chizzled arms 


F 
Brain dead 

Stupid and thoughtless 
   Dm    A 
Is what I am 
          Em 
Cause I'm brain dead 
E       Am 
And goddamned! 


Am 
Brain dead 

Dressed up and we're chatting 
        F 
And I'm brain dead 

You deserve an explanation 
Dm 
Brain dead 
Em              E          Am 
Sitting in this restaurant tonight 

N.C. 
Waiter, later, please, we're talking 


ROGER 
Am 
I said 

You have limitations, darling 


GORDON 
F 
Instead 

Scream your accusations 
         Dm 
Don't be well-bred 
Em                E             Am 
Life ain't always happiness and light 


F 
I thought 

If I could finish 
  Dm      A 
A song or five 
       Em 
I'd be brain dead 
E    Am 
But alive 


Instrumental 
Am - F - Dm Em E --- Am/Ab x2 
Am 


Last scene: 

Everybody's dancing 
      F 
I take codeine 

Lovers start romancing 
          Dm 
There's a bright green 
Em                 E 
Thing between your teeth, dear 
             Am 
Please don't smile 

N.C. 
Waiter, later, please, we're fighting 


Am 
Crash! Bang! 

At this speed it's stimulating 
F 
Crash! Bang! 

I'm out here hallucinating 
Dm 
Crash! Bang! 
Em           E            Am 
Actually I'm going out in style 

F 
That said, please someone kill me 
   Dm   A 
If I survive 


          F 
Cause I'm brain dead 

Brain dead
