Cupids Roaches Chords by Johnny Manchild and The Poor Bastards

[Intro]

F   Dm 
F   Dm 
F   Dm 
F   Dm 
 
 
[Verse]

F
Burrow your head and

 kill all the lights
    Dm
The cockroaches bury 

their dead in the night
F
Give birth again, 

all the thoughts in your head
C        Bb        F
Haunt you again and again
       C           Bb       F
In the morning they find you again
F
Walking around with your hands 

at your side with your
Dm
Eyes on the road and 

your thoughts in the sky
          F
And you'd just end it all for 

a second of quiet
     C          Bb     F
They whisper and moan again
     C       Bb     F
They burrow a home again
 
 
[Chorus]

G
Cupid's arrow is 

now lodged in your spine
       Bb                           
Making every move that you make just 
              F    Dm
a bit out of time
F Dm
Time
G
Retrograde, petrol run empty, 

I'm dry
        Bb            
And I'm crawling and 
                  A5 
I'm just running more
G#5  G5  F#5
 and   more be-
F Dm F Dm
-hind
F Dm F Dm
(Woah)
 
 
[Verse]

F
Stubborn steel boots, 

heavy chains at my feet
         Dm
With the rain in my clothes and 

the blistering heat
        F
And I'd give anything just to

 lay down and die
C        Bb
Yet I get up and I try
   C          Bb
To push and to stay alive
F                  
Melodies trapped in  
    Dm
the spaces inside of my  
F                             Dm
Brain where the creatures lie dormant and hide
         F                    
And they come out to play at   
    Dm
the end of the day 
         C        Bb       F
When I'm trying to close my eyes
      C             Bb          F
They scream and they whimper and cry
 
 
[Chorus]

G
Cupid's arrow is 

now lodged in your spine
       Bb                      
Making every move that you make 
                  F     Dm
just a bit out of time 
F Dm
Time
G
Retrograde, 

petrol run empty, I'm dry
        Bb           
And I'm crawling and 
                 A5 
I'm just running more 
G#5  G5   F#5 N.C.
and   more be-
(A moment of ambiguous chaos)
F Bb F Bb
-hind
F Bb F Bb
(Woah)
F Bb F Bb
F Bb F Dm
 
 
(Yeah!)
