This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Returning the Screw, by Fugazi

a fine disservice

deceptive too

check for the sender

the sender was you

caught me wide open

no simple burn

this is complicated

calls for return

fine disservice

intended too

check for the sender

the sender was you

the point has been recorded

the malice has been revealed

when i stripped away the humour

from the arrow it concealed

sharpened and soaked in urine

it was meant to spread disease

but now discovered

becomes the sweet antithesis

returning the screw

it comes back to you
