Impenetrable Lyrics

    pre>intro: am / am+9 / em7 / dm7 (twice)
    Am+9 means hammer the b, that is, am 577555 am+9 577557
    Am
    I'm in a trailer with some white trash.
    Em7 dm7
    They're drinkin' beer and smokin' grass
    Am
    There's a dumb chick with peroxide hair.
    Em7 dm7
    She's got axl rose tattooed on her ass
    Am
    They're holding me up like a trophy in a hall
    Em7 dm7
    Like a deer skin or a bear's head they bought from the mall
    Am
    I act like i'm with them but i'm behind a wall
    Em7 dm7
    Behind a wall in the darkness

    Chorus
    Am am+9 em7 dm7
    Impenetrable i can't get inside of it no
    Am am+9 em7
    Impenetrable i ca - ah - ah - ah - an't
    Am
    Impenetrable (riff)

    I wake up in a foreign bed.
    The hotel is empty the porters are dead
    The maids are diseased but the manager said:
    I'll buy you a drink in the bar pal
    Because you're our last customer. you're our last hope
    The city's deserted, the government's broke
    I act like i'm with him but i'm ready to bolt
    Out through the door into the darkness

    Chorus repeat

    Guitar solos over verse

    Out in the darkness the new year's crowd howl
    It's the same celebration for 20 years now
    I found myself there once alone in a crowd
    And the rules haven't changed for a minute
    They're hoisting an effigy up on a pole
    It's someone i remember, it's someone i know
    I can't place the face but when the gasoline flows
    I feel the flames lick round my ankles

    Fmaj7 dm7 fmaj7 am
    Aaaah oh aaah oh
    Fmaj7 dm7
    Aaaah oh

    Chorus repeat /pre>
