Pest Chords by Orla Gartland x Tommy Lefroy

[Intro]

G    C

 
 
[Verse]

G
You've been runnin’ around 

with your head stuck in the air
          C
Oh god, I never thought 

I'd meet someone who's quite so unaware
             G
You wore the ear off me 

last night about all the arguments you’ve won
      C
And I thought then and there, 

you're awful
 
I won't stop until you're done
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

               G
I heard you're into tarot cards
 
I heard you're into flashy cars
          C
You got a tattoo of 

Karl Marx paid for on daddy's credit card
            G
I heard you met 

Keanu Reeves back on some spiritual retreat
   Em              F
Oh please, tell me more
 
 
[Chorus]
                  G
I've been sent to catch you
              C
And take you away
                        G
I put a bеartrap in the bathroom
                   C
Now I sit here and wait
       G                
’Causе letting you lose, 
    F
who knows what you’ll do 
   C                     
Oh god, you're a pest and 
            G
you must be stopped
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

            C             G C
(You must be, you must be)
 
 
[Verse]

         G
You’re a ketamine machine
 
You're a politician's dream
      C
Never known a consequence
 
Only friends with apologists
      G
In my nightmare blunt rotation
 
Quote Bukowski to your plaything
      Em             F
And I hate to interrupt
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                      G
But I've been sent to catch you
              C
And take you away
                        G
I got an order from the council
                  C
To put you in your place
 
 
[Chorus]
                  G
I've been sent to catch you
              C
And take you away
                        G
I put a bеartrap in the bathroom
                   C
Now I sit here and wait
       G              
’Causе letting you lose, 
    F
who knows what you’ll do   
   C                     
Oh god, you're a pest and 
            G
you must be stopped
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

            C             G C
(You must be, you must be)
 
 
[Outro]

G
 If you've got one of 

these in your house
C
 Call me and I'll, 

I will come get it out
G
 If you've got 

one of these in your house
C
 Call me and I'll, 

I will come get it out
