Introduction: E5 C#5 B5 A5
E5
Augustus, you keep fooling me
C#5 B5 A5
I have these wry epiphanies, like I could change
E5
The excess or auxiliary
C#5 B5 A5
We fuck it up with envy and accost in vain
Every word the same
E5 C#5 B5 A5
The impending truth
E5 C#5 B5 A5
of our wellborn youth
E5
The subsequent or the demise
C#5 B5 A5
To praise or to antagonize, it all sounds the same
E5
The arrogant teenage prestige
C#5 B5
Seems like such a distinctive breed
A5
Disheveled fame taking steady aim
E5 C#5 B5 A5
On cerebral wealth,
E5 C#5 B5 A5
or my own personal hell
B7
And I put down the pen, a disjointed rebirth
A5
Of celebrities among the scum of the earth
B7
A5nd you look back confused you know that
A5
I will be there too
E5
Augustus, you keep fooling me
C#5 B5 A5
I have this sensibility I can't suppress
E5
A5nd we carry such a heavy burden
C#5 B5 A5
With every vulnerable word we can't express
E5 C#5 B5 A5
And there's nothing to lose
E5 C#5 B5 A5
When there's no room to move
E5 C#5 B5 A
And the frivolity is a temporary haven
E5 C#5 B5 A
Like what we're drinking or what the record's playing
