Verse 1: 
What else should I be 
All apologies 
What else should I say 
Everyone is gay 
What else could I write 
I don't have the right 
What else should I be 
All apologies 

In the sun 
In the sun I feed as one 
In the sun 
In the sun 

married 
buried 

Verse 2: 
I wish I was like you 
Easily amused 
Find my nest of salt 
Everything is my fault 
I'll take all the blame 
Aqur scafoam shame 
Sunburn with freezeburn 
Choking on the ashes of her enemy 

Ending: 

Oh no is all we are (?) 
All in all we all are

Hmmm...  take everything on the 4th and 5th strings and move 
it up 2 frets, and you'e got the way _I_ play it.  Doesnt' 
mean anything, buy hey, it's my two cents.  Try it...  I really 
think the open low Db and an 11th fret A on the next string sound 
right together.
