 C             D             Am
Bent at the knees, a last resort
               E            C 
Backfired and made things worse
              D                Am
Once on the bus, it was quite possible
              E          C 
You'd be the jailhouse queen

           D                     Am
Jury and judge were screaming to hang
               F    G#    C 
You spat the sweat from brow
                 D                        Am
He shrugged his shoulders, nothing would work
          F    G#    Am
It had to end right now

Chorus:
Am  G             F
I can't drive straight
Am   G         F     E
Counting your fake frowns

Focusing in, details a must
Trying to make each one count
All on your fingers stopping at ten
Magistrate keyed in now

Jury and judge were screaming to hang
You spat the sweat from brow
He shrugged his shoulders, nothing would work
It had to end right now

I can't drive straight
Counting your fake frowns
I can't drive straight
Counting your fake frowns

Chorus - x2

F                               Am
We can't keep your interest now
F                          Am
Increasing pixels and sound
F                              Am
We can't keep your interest now
F                           Am
Increasing pixels and sound

Jury and judge were screaming to hang
You spat the sweat from brow
He shrugged his shoulders, nothing would work
It had to end right...
