Em            Am                 G
In the secret caverns underneath West Covina
Am                 Em
Half desperate for peace
F
With the surface dwellers
Dm            G Dm  Am
But coming to no    conclusions
F          G       F            G
And now we emerge, sky grey and misty

[Verse 2]
F                    Em Am Em
The Grey King in his new   Pontiac
G                       Am   C
Some of us sworn to the effort
Dm
Trying to get our shapes back
F            G   Dm      Am
Teeth filed down to fine points
F             G      F             G
Framework too tight, strain at the joints

[Chorus 1]
F          C                   G
And I'm hardcore but I'm not that hardcore
Am           C                F
I'm hardcore but I'm not that hardcore
Dm           C                Am
I'm hardcore but I'm not that hardcore
C              G                     F        Fm
I'm pretty hardcore but I'm not that hardcore

[Instrumental]
Eb Dm Ab Gm

Eb Dm G

[Verse 3] 
Dm                    Gm
Load into the Grand Am
F
Doomed sailors
Gm                Dm
Borne high by the waves
Eb
Wild with wonder
Cm           F Cm         Gm
Leather and lace and good friends
Eb           F     Eb           F
Most of them good, most of them friendly

[Verse 4]
Eb                   Dm  Gm       Dm
The Grey King at the rail, sparks flying
F                     Gm       Bb
Three of us in the car with him
Cm
Scared of dying
Eb       F  Cm        Gm
All eyes on the front seat
Eb            F    Eb            F
Assuming his form, reborn in the heat

[Chorus 2]
Eb          Bb                    F
And I'm hardcore but I'm not that hardcore
Gm      Bb                    Eb
I'm hardcore but I'm not that hardcore
Cm      Bb                    Gm
I'm hardcore but I'm not that hardcore
Bb             F                     Eb
I'm pretty hardcore but I'm not that hardcore
