[Verse]
     E
Here we are now where are we?
It's like nothing I've ever seen
  E
We got horse throated huckster's whispered gimmicks
Rubbernecking all the curious cynics
And headlong walkers, one born every minute
                         B
Do I plug it in or do I stick it in it?

[Chorus]
      A                      G
Well, I don't know what came over me
 A                  G
I'm too dumb for words
      A                   G
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
       B                        E
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

[Verse]
     E
Here we are now who are you?

The long lost queens of some hoodoo?
  E
Well, we're the last of the big time penetrators

Playing dead to fuck the undertaker

The movie'll come out a little bit later
                          B
The Men, The Legend, The Goat, The Saytr

[Chorus]
      A                      G
Well, I don't know what came over me
 A                  G
I'm too dumb for words
      A                   G
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
       B                        E
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

[no chords] play solo riff
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge

[Verse]
E
Here we are now don't ask how
The time to leave was kind of now
   E
Well, don't cry, baby, there's no cause for grief
Deadheading's never going to kill the chief
It's an empty road without relief
                             B
And I'm a highway romance milking thief

[Chorus]
      A                      G
Well, I don't know what came over me
 A                  G
I'm too dumb for words
      A                   G
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
       B                        A       G
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

 A                  G
I'm too dumb for words
      A                   G
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
       B                        E
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

[same solo riffs, anyone
wanna give it a shot?]
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
