G                              G F#m Fm Em
I am the incredible shrinking man
                                 G
The longer I live the smaller I stand
          C                      G F#m Fm Em
I was the irrelevant, misplaced son
                  D           G
Inconsequential, awkward and undone


[Verse 1]
C
  Too short for the wishing well
C
Oh well, you can all just go to hell
    G        B
And maybe today
C                 G
Things will go my way

                     B
'cause it all seems cruel
            C                 G
When you're made to play the fool
        B
Why ask why
C             G
After all, we die

Ebm
  Must seem like you're always gone
D                                G Eb D G
In a world where you don't belong


[Chorus]
G        C                  G   F#m Fm Em
I am the incredible melting man
         D                     G
Becoming nothing as long as I can
          C                        G F#m Fm Em
I'll be a puddle by the end of the day
                 D          G
Wasn't much of a person anyway


[Verse 2]
C
  Too late for the dinner bell
C
Oh well, you can all just go to hell
    G        B
And maybe today
C                 G
Things will go my way

                     B
'cause it all seems cruel
            C                G
When you're made to play the fool
        B
Why ask why
C             G
After all, we die

Ebm
  Must seem like you're always gone
D                              G
In a world where you don't belong

[Bridge]
G                                  F#m Fm Em
It'd be fine I'd be having a ball
       D       G
Don't give me grief
G                                  F#m Fm Em
It could happen to you each and all
       D     G
But I need relief

G                                  F#m Fm Em
I hurt you 'cause my mind is mush
       D   G
That's my excuse
G                                  F#m Fm Em
I'm the widow hiding in the bush
        D      C
And I'm on the loose

C
I'm a tiny, tiny angry man
D                                 G
Hurting all the people that I can


[Chorus]
G           C              G
I am the incredibly wasted man
Em                D
  Thought I had a promise
                    G
Thought there was a plan
            C                  G
I am the incredulous thinking fuck
Em                 D                   G
  I threw away my time and I'm out of luck

[Outro]
N.C
It was as if my body had ceased to exist
N.C
There was no hunger
N.C
No longer the terrible fear of shrinking
