Doin' The Cockroach
Modest Mouse
Bm F#m C#m B2
Bm F#m C#m
I was in heaven, I was in hell
B2 B2
Believe in neither, but fear them as well
This one's a doctor, this one's a lawyer
This one's a cash fiend taking your money
Back of the metro - ride on a greyhound
Drunk on the Amtrak - please shut up
Another rider, he was a talker
Talkin' about TV - please shut up!
This one's a crazer - daydreaming disaster
The origin of junk food - rutting through garbage
Tasty but worthless, dogs eat their own shit
We're doing the cockroach, yeah
B2
Doin' the cockroach, yeah - doin' the cockroach, yeah
A2 G
Yea~ee~ah - alright, not bad
Doin' the cockroach, yeah - doin' the cockroach, yeah
Yea~ee~ah - alright, not bad
Doin' the cockroach, yeah - doin' the cockroach, yeah
Yea~ee~ah - alright, not bad, not bad at all

B2 Thing
One year, twenty years, forty years, fifty years
A2
Down the road in your life, you'll look in the mirror
G
And say, my parents are still alive
B2 Thing A2 G
You move your mouth, you shake your tongue
You vibrate my eardrums - oh, you're saying words
But you know I ain't listening
B2 A2 G
You're walking down the street
Your face, your lips, your hips, your eyes they meet
But you're not hungry though
Bm Thing A2 G (x2)
Bm
Well, late last winter down below the equator
they had a summer that would make you blister
A2
Oh, my mind is all made up
G
So I'll have to sleep on it
Well, late last winter down below the equator
they had a summer that would make you blister
Oh, my mind is all made up
So I'll have to sleep on it
Well, late last winter down below the equator
They had a summer
That would make you blister
And oh, my mind is all - oh, my mind is all
Oh, my mind is all made up
So I'll have to sleep in it...
