Intro 1
(E minor) (B minor) (E minor)
(Esus4) (E minor)
Verse 1
Writer (E minor) low,
the singer sung,
then they went broke,
turned down by everyone
Passed on by Sadler,
then by BMG, (B minor) RCA and MCA,
and finally the big three (E minor)
And the (A minor) writer said, (C major)
I wish you'd (B minor) hire me,
but (C major) you don't like hearing the (D major) truth
Well, it's (A minor) all I've got (C major) left,
along (D major) with my debts and lack of (E minor) youth
She said, take no chances, just tell lies,
sell your soul and compromise
Take no chances, just tell lies (B minor)
Don't (B major) ask me why

(E minor) (D major) (E minor) (D major) (E minor) (A major) (E minor)
Verse 2
Luke spoke, (E minor) the people gasped, (Esus4)
(E minor) the synod broke
While he was sitting on his big fat ass
Promises of heaven, promises of hell
I guess (B minor) his God's the only God
that you can buy and (E minor) sell
He said, (A minor) Richard Nixon's a (B minor) hero
And (C major) you're just a communist stoo (D major) ge
So for the (A minor) rest of your days
When you call (D major) out his name
He'll be (E minor) Mr. Dick to you
He said
There ain't no Kissinger's
who take their wives
While you're at it, please take mine
Dean, no kissin' James,
just take mine (B minor)
Shit, here's the missing line (E minor) (F major) (E minor)
There's no bass (Esus4)
Where's (E minor) the bass?
(D major) There's (E minor) (D major) no bass (A major) (E minor)
That's me.
In si (A minor) lence said,
why don't you touch (B minor) me?
Reach (C major) out your hand just like (D major) this.
You can (A minor) capture my soul.
You can (D major) grab hold and (E minor) aim it while I piss,
(D major) he (E minor) said.
You're my prisoner.
Tell me lies.
Try this tutu on for size
You're my prisoner
Tell me lies (Esus4) (E minor) (B minor)
Don't ask me (E minor) why
(Bsus4) Don't (B minor) ask (E minor) me why
Hey, I'm (Bsus4) English (B minor) (E minor) you
