B⁵   E⁵   C#⁵ D⁵ G⁵      F#⁵ B⁵
Load up on guns, bring your friends.
     E⁵  C#⁵ D⁵      G⁵    F#⁵ B⁵
It’s fun to lose and to pretend.
      E⁵  C#⁵ D⁵     G⁵     F#⁵ B⁵
She’s over-bored and self-assured.
    E⁵  C#⁵ D⁵   G⁵  F#⁵ B⁵
Oh, no, I know a dirty word.

      E⁵  C#⁵ D⁵    G⁵   F#⁵ B⁵
   Hello, hello, hello, how low?
      E⁵  C#⁵ D⁵    G⁵   F#⁵ B⁵
   Hello, hello, hello, how low?
      E⁵  C#⁵ D⁵    G⁵   F#⁵ B⁵
   Hello, hello, hello, how low?
      E⁵  C#⁵ D⁵    G⁵
   Hello, hello, hello.

Chorus:
           F#⁵ B⁵         E⁵
     With the lights out,
               C#⁵ D⁵
     It’s less dangerous.
   G⁵        F#⁵ B⁵  E⁵    C#⁵ D⁵
     Here we are now, entertain us.
   G⁵       F#⁵ B⁵ E⁵     C#⁵ D⁵
     I feel stupid and contagious.
   G⁵        F#⁵ B⁵  E⁵    C#⁵ D⁵
     Here we are now, entertain us.
   G⁵    F#⁵ B⁵ E⁵  C#⁵ D⁵ G⁵   F#⁵ B⁵ E⁵
     A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito,
          C#⁵ D⁵
     My libido.
G⁵  F#⁵   B⁵ Bb⁵ B⁵ C⁵
     Yay,
     F    B⁵/F# Bb⁵ B⁵ E⁵ D⁵ Bb⁵ B⁵ Bb⁵ B⁵ C⁵
     Hey,

I’m worse at what I do best,
And for this gift I feel blessed.
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end.

   Hello, hello, hello, how low?
   Hello, hello, hello, how low?
   Hello, hello, hello, how low?
   Hello, hello, hello.

Chorus:
     With the lights out,
     It’s less dangerous.
     Here we are now, entertain us.
     I feel stupid and contagious.
     Here we are now, entertain us.
     A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito,
     My libido.
     Yay,
     Hey,
     Yay.

And I forget just why I taste.
Oh, yeah, I guess it makes me smile.
I found it hard; it’s hard to find.
Oh well, whatever, never mind.

   Hello, hello, hello, how low?
   Hello, hello, hello, how low?
   Hello, hello, hello, how low?
   Hello, hello, hello.

Chorus:
     With the lights out,
     It’s less dangerous.
     Here we are now, entertain us.
     I feel stupid and contagious.
     Here we are now, entertain us.
     A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito,
     My libido.
   G⁵    F#⁵ B⁵ E⁵ C#⁵ D⁵
     A denial, a denial,
   G⁵    F#⁵ B⁵ E⁵ C#⁵ D⁵
     a denial, a denial,
   G⁵    F#⁵ B⁵ E⁵ C#⁵ D⁵
     A denial, a denial,
   G⁵    F#⁵ B⁵ E⁵ C#⁵ D⁵
     a denial, a denial,
   G⁵   F#⁵ B⁵
     A denial.
