[Verse 1] 
G
When I'm all alone on my own by my lonesome
         F
And there ain't a single 'nother soul around
       C           G                              F
I wanna dig into my guitar, bend a blues riff that hangs
F
Over everything

G
When I'm by myself and it's daytime cuz down-under
     F
Or wherever it is I live when it's evening
          C                           G                   F
You know I speed-read the morning news and come up with my own little song also
F        G
...too
 
(G) F C G F
 
[Verse 2] 
G
When I step outside to a beautiful morning
         F
Where the trees are all waggin', my hair-flag waving
   C                  G                            F
The scenery ragin', my life/love cascading, and the smog hangs
F
Over everything

G
When I'm outside in a real good mood
         F
You could almost forget 'bout all the other things
      C               G           F
Like a big old ominous cloud in my periphery
 
[Bridge] 
D     F    Am   G
Yeah, Ahh, Mmm, Yeah

D
Don't wanna talk about it
F                          Am G
Simultaneous I shout it
 
[Verse 3] 
G
When I was young I liked to hear music blarin'
     F
And I wasn't carin' to neuter my jams with earplugs
   C            G                                   F
But these days I inhabitate a high-pitched ring over things
F
So these days I plug em up

G
When I'm strugglin with my songs I do the same thing too
          F
And then I crunch em up in headphones, cause why wouldn't you?
         C                 G                      F
You could say I hear you on several levels at high decibels
F
Over everything
 
G F C G F (x2)
 
[Verse 4] 
G
When I'm all alone on my own by myself
         F
And there ain't another single one around
       C           G                              F
I wanna dig into my guitar, bend a blues riff that hangs...
F                D
Over everything
