intro (pickslide in):
B (high) E
A E


Verse:
	B (high)   A         E
	A study of history reveals an unflagging appeal to mystery
	B (high)   A         E
	You talk about abstraction at the top of the list
	B (high)   A         E
	But you might as well get pissed
	F# 				D
	cause in me the essence does not exist, no-oh-oh 


	B (high) E
	A E

	yeah yeaheahhh!

Chorus:

	Take me as I am, judge me for my crimes, I can say I behave freely all the time
                         	          B(high)
	You can predict what I'll say!
        	D                           A
	its in my DNA, soon I'll be a cataloge number any way
