Naked by Robbie Doyen

A                                                                              A

Ninety miles an hour standing up on the Highway. No one really caring whether or not

                      D                                                                                     A

we die today. Driving through a lawn doing doughnuts in their yard, man I really hope

 

that we don't see a cop car.

             E                           D                       A

We are young and having fun. Yea we're young and we're dumb and we're young and

 

having fun and we are

A                                                                                 E                         D

Naked with the top down. Driving all around town. Too high to ever bring down, we're

A

naked with the top down.

               A                                                                                          A

Yea the color of our skin is the color that we're swimming in. The water's mighty cold

                                                            D

from the moment that you enter it. I cannot figure out why my will is so strong. It's

A

probably because I hit the gravity bong.

             E                           D                       A

We are young and having fun. Yea we're young and we're dumb and we're young and

 

having fun and we are

A                                                                                 E                         D

Naked with the top down. Driving all around town. Too high to ever bring down. We're

A

naked with the top down.

 

(break for solo's. Standard 12 bar blues progression twice.)

A                                                         A                                                     D

Drugs are better than people. I said drugs are better than people. Take a pill take a hit take

                                  A

a puff take a sip yea drugs are better than people

                        E                           D                        A

When you are young and having fun. Well we're young and we're dumb and we're

 

young and full of cum and we are

A                                                                                 E                        D

Naked with the top down. Driving all around town. Too high to ever bring down we are

A                                                                                                                                 E

naked with the top down Yea Naked with the top down. Driving all around town. Too

                    D                             A

high to ever bring down. We're naked with the top down.

 

Helmet. by Robbie Doyen

C                          D                          Bm                         C                                      D

Sometimes I'm a bowling ball and sometimes I'm the pins. It just depends what kind of

                G            C                         D                      Bm              C

mood I'm in. And sometimes I'm a messenger and sometimes I receive. It's a formula

          D                            G

that's based on time and need.

        C                                          G                C                                                G

And I'm a helmet, I'm a batting cage. I'm a locked on pilot who's trying to disengage.

               C                                                   G                 C                                         G

Yea I'm twenty-two but I still keep all my toys. I'm so immature. I'm such a little boy.

              C                   D                      C                             D              G

But My fire is burning bright because I have got so much oxygen in my lungs.

             C                        D                 Bm                     C                                           D 

Well I don't believe in gravity and I don't believe in blood, and I don't believe my life is

     G                    C                         D                    Bm                      C   

big enough. And I don't get much sympathy and I don't get much sleep, but if there's one

                  D                    C

thing that I get it's in too deep.

     C                                          G                C                                                   G

But I'm a helmet, I'm a batting cage. I'm a locked on pilot who's trying to disengage.

               C                                                   G                 C                                         G

Yea I'm twenty-two but I still keep all my toys. I'm so immature. I'm such a little boy.

               C                  D                      C                             D              G

And my fire is burning bright because I have got so much oxygen in my lungs. Yea my

C                     D                   C                               D               G 

fire is burning bright because I have got so much oxygen in my lungs.

 

(Instrumental break)

         C                   D                            Bm                      C       

It's hard to sing a love song when you don't love anyone, and you don't think you can

D                  G                   C                      D                            Bm                           C

ever love anyone. And it's hard to tell the difference between someone who's unique, and

                                           D                 G

someone who's trying too hard to be a freak.

        C                                          G                C                                                G

But I'm a helmet. I'm a batting cage. I'm a locked on pilot who's trying to disengage.

              C                                                    G                 C                                         G

Yea I'm twenty-two but I still keep all my toys. I'm so immature. I'm such a little boy.

        C                                          G                C                                                G

And I'm a helmet I'm a batting cage. I'm a locked on pilot who's trying to disengage.

               C                                                   G                 C                                         G 

Yea I'm twenty-two but I still keep all my toys. I'm so immature. I'm such a little boy.

                C                 D                      C                             D              G

And my fire is burning bright because I have got so much oxygen in my lungs. Yea my

C                     D                   C                               D               G 

fire is burning bright because I have got so much oxygen in my lungs.

you're ready to play. Well I know the truth about your father. He was very bad. He was

Well my girl went away and that is making me glad, but I'm not getting laid and that is

                                                C                                                                        G

strong, but her mouth is a muscle. I've got the small town psycho crazy girlfriend blues.

 

She cleaned up my room and she washed all my clothes and she bought me nice things

                                                       C

and she nibbled my toes, but she is always stressin' even when we're carressin'. She

wrecks all her cars, but she can't learn her lesson. I've got the small town psycho crazy

Well I knew it was bad, but I wasn't prepared, and now that knife in her hand is really

                                            C                                                                           G

makin' me scared. My baby can't resist all of the burdens she carries. Right after we fight

                                                                           D                            C                     G

she always wants to get married. I've got the small town psycho crazy girlfriend blues.

C      G       F        C           G        F         C          G        F        C          G        F   

February summer. Hotter than a mother. Hotter than a lover sleeping with another. And I

C                  G      F                     C                              G     F              C                     G

hear about it everyday. All your problems that won't go away. Well I don't like the way

            F                      C                         G         F     C        G             F             C

that he treats you, and you're not liking what I say. Living fast with strangers. Breaking

G     F             C           G             F            C                G         F

into mangers. Running from the Rangers, and getting off on danger.

            C                 G        F        C                       G          F                    C                     G

And I got the pedal on the floor. Faster than I've gone before. Got my elbow hangin' out

           F            C                        G              F

of the window. Seatbelt stickin' out of the bottom of the door.

C           F                               C          F                          C      F                                     C

And I'd like to take a long ride on a passenger airplane or a bull-headed freight train as

F

long as it goes far away.

C             G         F      C       G             F      C             G             F        C         G        F       

Running from a lady, cuz I think I'm crazy. And I'm thinking maybe. And I think I think

                                            C                      G        F               C                       G     

too much. That's why I'm gonna go down to the bar where everyone knows who you

F                    C                       G              F                              C                      G      F            

are. But even party world can get kinda boring when it's the only place you ever are. Yea,

C     G        F         C      G        F     C          G        F    C             G           F

hot headed gringo. One bad amigo. With a fragile ego, and overactive libido.

           C                    G        F       C                      G          F                   C                      G

And I got the pedal on the floor. Faster than I've gone before. Got my elbow hangin' out

of the window. Seatbelt stickin' out of the bottom of the door.

 C              F                            C                   F                                      C                    F                              

And I'm afraid of commitment because it means you're getting' older, and I don't want

                 C            F                             

to get older. I'm afraid of getting older.

F         C                      G        F                    C                    G               F            C

floor. Never been this fast before. Got my elbow hangin' out of the window. Seatbelt

stickin' out of the bottom of the door.

You gave me a tiny Godzilla and I put it in my pocket. Now I've got a brand new brother

C        G(c.g.c) G        C         G       C        G                        C(g.c)                      G

by my side. Turns out I was stupid when I tried to make it better, cuz you know you're

           C                   G            C      G      C(g.c)

gonna die when the food you eat is radioactive.

(RIFF)                                        G(c.g.c)      G    C          G             C        G(c.g.c)G      C

I think I'm gonna take a magic marker and color in the whiteness in my eyes. I never had

          G             C          G(c.g.c)G           C          G      C           G(c.g.c)

much use for peripheral vision. Tunnel's always suited me just fine.

                D                C                          G               C         G       C                  D

Yea and every time I see you I'll stand up straight when I walk, but the Godzilla in my

C                             D               C                 G(c.g.c)        G(c.g.c)

pocket is breathing fire on my cock. right now! Right now.

                   G           C        G         C        G         C(g.c)          G                C           G

Well I was standing at the mouth of the railroad tracks with a half empty bottle of brandy

C       G(c.g.c)G       C      G       C            G               C(g.c)                G      C     G

in my hand. Trying to decide if I should just set off walking without ever ever ever

C          G

looking back.

   (RIFF)                                          G(c.g.c)            G                    C             G                  C

I think I'm gonna grow out all my fingernails and scratch them down the chalkboard until

  G(c.g.c)G     C              G         C                G(c.g.c)G                 C           G       C    

I cry. I never had much use for meticulous hearing. Tone deaf's always suited me just

G(c.g.c)

fine.

                D                C                          G               C         G       C                  D

Yea and every time I see you I'll stand up straight when I walk, but the Godzilla in my

C                             D               C                 G(c.g.c)      G(c.g.c)      G       C   G          C

pocket is breathing fire on my cock. right now! Right now. Right now yea yea yea yea

Yea and every time I see you I'll stand up straight when I walk, but the Godzilla in my
