so it sounds good.

G# (long) A (long) E (short)
G# (long) A (long) B (short)

verse dos

G#            A                E
watching your life go down the tube
G#                 A             B
and you wonder why every day's a rerun
G#                A               E
nothing different happens nothing new
G#            A                    B
your life's a show and the show is over


riff c
t.v. sucks!
(etc. etc.)

G# (short) A (short) E (long)
G# (short) A (short) B (long)

verse III

G#         A            E

star trek's been airing far too long
G#               A             E
can you sleep at night without sight and sound?
G#       A              B

Bridge thingy
G|-------9-7--------------------|
D|----9------9------------------|
A|--7--------------6-6-9-9-6-6--|
E|-------------7-7--------------|

Play that riff four times, then go back to "t.v. sucks!"

Ending:
Thrash about a bit (whilst playing the chorus riff),
scream "t.v. arrgh" and then end on a big ol E.
