somebody told me the story. I just had to make it rhyme.

G
C D (8x)

G
He's a real nice guy, they say
C D
A real good egg,
G
With his arm around your shoulder
C D
He's pissing down your leg

G
You want him on your team, yeah,
C D
You want him in your pack
G
But you want him in your eyesight
C D
And you want to watch your back

Am C D
He invites himself over for a bite to eat
Am C D
But he never recognizes you on the street
Am C D
He's the very best friend you ever had
Am C D
It's a sad damn shame things got this bad

G C D
You tell yourself that you're not worthy
G C D
To kiss his feet, down on your knees
G C D
He's so high above you and me
G C D
'Cause he's Indie Rock Royalty

G
Alone at home on Friday night
C D
You're watching your TV
G
You hear commotion at your door,
C D
What could the problem be?

G
He stumbles in, he's faced again
C D
He's soaked in beer and pee
G
When you're lying down with swine,
C D
You're gonna get dirty

Am C D
While he's worshipping the porcelain god, you try to get some sleep
Am C D
You want to throw him out, you're so pissed off at the creep
Am C D
But word might get around downtown, and then your cred would sink
Am C D
And oh my god, what would you do, what would the hipsters think?

G C D
You tell the world that you're not worthy
G C D
To kiss his feet down on your knees
G C D
He's so high above you and me
G C D
Cause he's Indie Rock Royalty.

C D
Indie Rock Royalty
C D
Indie Rock Royalty
