On The Drag
by They Might Be Giants

1.
            F#
You're only happy when you're sad
       B                     C#
You're top fueled and you're bad
B                 C#
Parachute in your back pack and
     B                C#
Your knees under your chin
         F#
And your boyfriend's getting mad
   B                C#
At all the time you waste
          B               C#
Trying to put your finger on it
      B                 C#
The allure of St. Marks place

Chorus:
        F# E F# E             F# E F# E
On the drag,           on the drag
           F#
You're all waiting 'round for something
         B            C#
And it's never coming back
       F# E F# E           F# E F# E
On the drag,        on the drag
       F#
It's a genuine disaster
         B                C#
And it's come to make you king
       F# E G# E     F# E G# E
On the drag

"I won't die until I'm dead,"
Are the first words that he said
Don't try to interrupt him,
'Cause he's never gonna stop
And the time is standing still
With all this time to kill
And I'm trying to walk away
From 1st Avenue to A

Chorus:
On the drag, on the drag
It's a genuine disaster
And we've crowned him with his crown
On the drag, on the drag
We're all waiting 'round for something
And it's never coming back
On the drag, on the drag
We're all waiting 'round for something
And it's never coming back

Coda:
On the drag, on the drag
We're all waiting for disaster
And we crowned him with his crown
On the drag

E F# G# E  (a bunch a times, and F# B C# for a couple times)
