Verse 1:
C
I can’t smell a rat when it’s all rat
C
I can’t find one in an elevator
C
My mind doesn’t work so bad
C
But I am a poor exterminator, that’s right




C
I can’t destroy entirely
C
Or annihilate a little later
C
I can’t see the entire city
C
But I’m not a bad exterminator

Chorus:
C         G      F   C
I’m just a shade shy of true wickedness
     G      F            C     
I’m a shade shy of truly loving it, yeah
G         F                C                G
There are other things I’d rather be doing
F       
Even nothing
     D
Even nothing
     C
Even nothing with you





Verse 2:
C
One day I’ll make some honest rock n roll
C
Full of handclaps and gang vocals
C
I’m gonna get all the children involved
C
We’re gonna get lost on all you locals


Chorus:
C         G      F   C
We’ll be a shade shy of true wickedness
          G      F            C     
We’ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah
G         F            C                           G
There are other things we’ll rather be doing, sure
F       
Even nothing
     D
Even nothing
     C
Even nothing with you


Bridge:
D
We’ll load out through the snow through 
F2
Small groups of people smoking
C
Hey, get that kick drum loaded
G                        D
Into the backseat folded down

We’ll go virtually unnoticed
F2                                         C
What’s gripping the city ain’t hitting the town





Chorus:
C         G      F   C
We’ll be a shade shy of true wickedness
          G      F            C     
We’ll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yeah
G         F            C                     
There are other things that we’ll surely miss


Bridge:
D
We’ll load out through the snow through 
F2
Small groups of people smoking
C
Hey, get that kick drum loaded
G                        D
Into the backseat folded down

We’ll go perfectly unnoticed
F2                                         C
What’s gripping the city ain’t hitting the town
