Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major) (G major) (A minor) (D major)
Verse 1
Not (D major) that (G major)
you want to be (D major) out of curiosity
Just (E minor) a corsage of the (C major) world
I (G major) was in love with a girl, (A minor)
I would (C major) the violence fore (D major) see.
All (G major) that it ought to be,
(D major) blessed by generosity,
(E minor) sure to put your heart in a whirl. (C major)
Stop (G major) to pick up a dollar bill, (A minor)
as the blood drips at the (D major) mill.
(G major) Have you got fried chicken?
(D major) You ate it up so fast,
(E minor) laid down its life just for you. (C major)
Now (G major) you have nothing to do, (A minor)
just a television tube. (D major)
Though (G major) for goodness sake,
(D major) and the love you make,
(G major) skip (E minor) ping stones at the (C major) lake.
You've (G major) got a half -baked idea, (A minor)
to think we'd be so glad to (D major) see ya.
Lost (G major) in your lonely room,
(D major) how they grow up and bloom,
(E minor) young girls in the magazine, (C major)
how (G major) they took part in your doom, (A minor)
babies step out of the wom (D major) b,
hunger (G major) and lust for life,
(D major) she was like any housewife,
(E minor) darning the socks with con (C major) cern.
(G major) Glad you ever were (A minor) born,
just to get up in the morn. (D major)
Though all (G major) the while
you (D major) were surrounded by amateurs,
Breathing (E minor) in love so in (C major) sane
Think (G major) ing your hope was re (A minor) framed
And the emotional pain (D major)
Noth (G major) ing to do but cry
(D major) As you dry your eyes
Watching (E minor) the soap opera die (C major)
Long (G major) ing for the freedom of suc (A minor) cess
When we're all just a temporary guest (D major)
Liv (G major) ing in such a mess,
(D major) I'll bring you back again
Just (A minor) (C major) like you used to have been (G major) (C major)
How (G major) could you really win? (A minor)
Pledging your existence to (D major) sin
We'll (G major) delight in the twilight,
(D major) anything to make it right,
(E minor) when there's nothing left but noth (C major) ing,
but (G major) an empty song, (A minor)
why did it have to go wrong, (D major)
how it all (G major) works (D major) out,
something about it
so thinking (E minor) that love is a crime (C major)
you (G major) were a friend of mine (A minor)
standing there at this time (D major)
you're (G major) gonna make it
Joe (D major) love is sure to follow
happy (E minor) to be that way (C major)
tomorrow (G major) is brand -new day (A minor)
what do you have to say (D major) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major) (G major) (A minor)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (A minor) (C major)
(G major) (A minor) (D major) (A minor) (G major)
Thank you.
Thanks for coming out
tonight.
I really appreciate it.
Next time I come,
I promise I'll do a better show.
Thanks a lot. You
