B        F#      G        E 
I used to be on an endless run
Believe in miracles 'cause I'm one
I have been blessed with the power to survive
A                                    E
After all these years I'm still alive


I'm out here cookin' with the band
I am no longer a solitary man
Every day my time runs out
Lived like a fool, that's what I was about, oh


   B       A    G 
   I believe in miracles
   I believe in a better world for me and you 
   Oh, I believe in miracles
   I believe in a better world for me and you

Tattoo your name on my arm 
I always said my girl's my good luck charm
If she could find a reason to forgive
Then I could find a reason to live

I used to be...

   I believe...

      I close my eyes and think how it might be

ZERO ZERO UFO



[ E    G A A    A G E ] x2


E                       G  A
It landed in a field in Idaho 
A                     A G   E
Where it came from, I don't know
E                        G    A
It did not look like it came from Japan 
A                      A G  E
And out of the dark walked a strange man


If you think it's a pack of lies 
I saw it happen with my own eyes
A million miles from the Milky way 
A hundred years, a month, and a day


   C                        [ E G A ] x2
   Zero zero (zero zero) UFO
   Zero zero (zero zero) UFO

When media writes the neon lights 
Spaceship travels at the speed of light
A million stars in the sky 
I here the Queen's on the alien's side

If you think... 

   Zero zero...

I'm sick and tired of you calling me names 
I'm sick and tired of your childish games
I'm sick and tired of your bullshit brats 
C                   D
Cocaine stupor and anxiety attacks


Picked up the magazine, I see your face 
You're nothin' boy, a goddamn waste
With the lamest fashions on your back 
You're never happy, a hypochondriac


   G                                             C Bb G
   Don't bust my chops, baby, don't bust my chops
   Don't bust my chops, baby, don't bust my chops 


[ C  D  C ] x4


You're a styling queen and an alley cat 
Too many chocolates keep a fat man fat
You're a pain in the ass, and your on the loose 
All I get from you is your bad attitude

Dirty mouth, it's all I can bear 
Get outta here bitch, 'cause you're nowhere
Always wearin' that cheap perfume 
Can always tell when you're in the room
                 
   Don't bust...

PUNISHMENT FITS THE CRIME




[ A  C  D  C ] x2


A          C          D        C
I hear the bells of freedom chiming 
And inside my heart I feel I'm dying 
Wise guys never compromise
Then they loose their rights and they act surprised 
Jail really cuts ya down to size


           A          F        G
   Let the punishment fit the crime 
   The footprints on the sign the time
   The philosophy of warish crime 
   Make a man humble in his prime


You can go up, down, or sideways 
Be on Death Row, counting the days
They say the answers are blowin' in the wind 
And to take yourself out would really be a sin
You just have to cope and start over again

   Let the punishment... 


F  

[ A   A B C F ] x3

[ G   C F G G  G F ]


Little child cries in his sleep 
And life makes promises it can't keep
And then you had, had enough 
You realize somehow, someway
Your destiny was planned from the very first day

   Let the punishment... 

   Let the punishment... 

   Let the punishment fit the crime 
   Let the punishment fit the crime
   Let the punishment fit the crime 
   Let the punishment fit the crime

PALISADES PARK




[ G  E ]


G
Last night I took a walk in the dark 
E
To a place called Palisades Park
C                                          D
To have some fun, to see what I could see, that's where the girls are


I took a ride on the shoopty shoop 
The girl I sat with almost, almost puked
And when it stopped, she was holding hands with me


                           C
   My arms were flying up, like a rocket ship 
    E
   Down, like a roller coaster
    C
   Fast, like a loopty loop 
    D
   Then around, like a merry-go-round


We even at a hot dog stand 
Slam danced to a rockin' band
And when she winked, I gave that girl a hug, in the tunnel of love


C
You'll never know how good it just can feel 
E
'til it stops at the top of the ferris wheel
C             D
I fell in love, down at Palisades Park

Last night...

PET SEMATARY




[ riff ] x2


[ riff ]
Under the arc of a weather stain boards
Ancient goblins, and warlords
Come out of the ground, not making a sound
The smell of death is all around
C                      D
And the night when the cold wind blows
C        D              Bb    C
No one cares, noobody knows


   D                 F          C        Bb
   I don't wanna be buried in a pet semetary

   I don't wanna...

Follow Victor to the sacred place
This ain't a dream, I can't escape
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones
Spirits moaning among the tombstones
And the night, when the moon is bright
Someone cries, something ain't right

   I don't wanna...

   I don't wanna...

The moon is full, the air is still
All of a sudden I feel a chill

Skeletons dance, I curse this day
And the night, when the wolves cry out
Listen close and you can hear me shout

   I don't wanna...
