Song: Not A Dull Moment
Artist: Bad Astronaut
Album: Houston: We Have A Drinking Problem


with the chords yourself if you want it to sound more like the album version, but it
doesnt really matter that much - its more in the singing anyways! here it goes:
 
                                                
  I remember well the smell of tequila
                                                    
 One bed, one bath, two months with Steph
            
 Drinkin' up the sunrise
 
 Then sleep till eight at night
                                           
 I had a ten day birthday till Thanksgiving
                                        
 We burnt the bird and hit the road
                                                    
 Blur in stereo, sonic bookmarks and bad scenes
                                                                
 But not a dull moment, I barely miss living in Los Angeles
                                        
 Only took a week to start the warfare
 D                                 F#   (timing here is tricky)
 Eccentric neighbors on welfare
                                                   
 The turntable spun to the beat of pounding on the walls
                                           
 We'd sink another drink with Billy Idol
                                               
 Have sloppy sex on the living room floor
                                              
 A whirlwind of simple pleasure principal
                        
 Principles are gone
                     
 It's not a dull moment
                                                    
 I barely miss living in that selfish bliss with Steph
                                         
 And I always have the past to be warned
                                            
 And I always knew the last laugh was more
                                                    
 And I can taste the gold ring tarnish in my mouth
                                            
 And I need a drink to wash it out
                    
 It's not a dull moment
                                       
 I barely miss living in that state of filth
        
 So I cleaned the yard, the yard, the yard
                                            
 Mow the lawn, scrub the stained rug
                                           ( number of times)
 So what? It's safe and sound I have found
 
There it is! I've tried to put the chords where they come in above the words. I'm not
100% sure about this section:
                                                    
 And I can taste the gold ring tarnish in my mouth
                                            
 And I need a drink to wash it out
 
 but i tried heaps of different ways and this generally sounded the best and
 most spot on. damn joey cape and his far superior skills. also, lots of the
 notes are played on their higher octave (ie 8 frets up on the above string)
 but it dont really matter unless u got 2 guitars and a bass playing it). If you've
appreciated!
