Pair Of Parasites

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
D  G   D  G

 
[Verse 1]
        D                 G
I got a pair of parasites with an endless appetite
             D                         G
They’ve been taking all the life outta me
       D                    G
And at first I didn’t mind 'cause I thought that they were kind
       D                           G
At the time I kinda liked the company

 
[Pre-Chorus]
           D            G                       D
But they’re each like a leech like worms in the beach
              A                            D
Feasting like germs, taking turns when I’m weak
                    G                        D
They’re each like a leech like sharks at the beach
           A
Preying on me

 
[Chorus]
      G        D
And I can’t go on
A          Bm
  Can’t go on
           G       D
I’m barely hanging on
A              Bm
  Soon I’ll be paralyzed
      G              D
These parasites have fought me blind
            A            Bm
I should’ve known it all along
  G        D A Bm
I can’t go on

 
[Refrain]
           G D
I can’t go on
           D  G
I can’t go on

 
[Verse 2]
        D                           G
I got a pair of scary scars, couple burns from old cigars
         D                                 G
From the time I tried to singe them off my skin
      D                                G
And I know it sounds bizarre, but they said they’d take me far
          D                                    G
So that’s why I thought that I should let them in

 
[Pre-Chorus]
           D            G                       D
But they’re each like a leech like worms in the beach
              A                            D
Feasting like germs, taking turns when I’m weak
                    G                        D
They’re each like a leech like sharks at the beach
           A
Preying on me

 
[Chorus]
      G        D
And I can’t go on
A          Bm
  Can’t go on
           G       D
I’m barely hanging on
A              Bm
  Soon I’ll be paralyzed
      G              D
These parasites have fought me blind
            A        Bm
I should’ve known it all along
  G        D  A  Bm
I can’t go on

 
[Bridge]
G           D
I was tryna be a good host
A              Bm
The scent of deceit in my nose
G                 D             A      Bm
Why’d I let these people impose on me?
G                 D
Watch me now as I decompose
A                   Bm
Nothing left here now but my clothes
G            D                   A   N.C.
If you come around, leave a rose for me

 
[Chorus]
         G        D
'Cause I can’t go on
A          Bm
  Can’t go on
           G       D
I’m barely hanging on
A              Bm
  Soon I’ll be paralyzed
      G              D
These parasites have fought me blind
            A        Bm
I should’ve known it all along
  G        D  A  Bm
I can’t go on

 
[Outro]
           G D
I can’t go on
           A Bm
I can’t go on
           G D
I can’t go on
           A Bm
I can’t go on
           G D
I can’t go on
           A Bm
I can’t go on
           G D
I can’t go on
           A Bm
I can’t go on
