[G] [D]
[A] [Bm]
[G] [D]
[A] Your grandma's on a [Bm] walker in the old folks' home.
[G] Your grandpa lost his dentures [D] and he's starting foam.
[A] Your dad's inside a biker [Bm] bar, he's acting like a turd.
[G] He's sitting on the school and [E] yelling, play free bird.
[A] Well, I'm wondering what the heck is [Bm] wrong with all of your kin.
[G] Your sister stole my credit [D] card and figured out my pin.
And [A] the love you say you have for [Bm] me is just imagination.
[G] I'm going to send your ass [E] on a Chinese vacation.
[D] So far [E] away, [A] I'm sending you [D] away today.
Down Beijing [E] way, [A] across the wall you'll [D] join the fray.
[A] And I'm [F#] feeling [D] really gay, because [A] you're a [E] million miles [D] away.
[A] You stabbed me in the heart [Bm] with a plastic fork.
[G] You chewed me up and spit me [D] out like sweet and sour pork.
And [A] when the waiter brought the bill,
you [Bm] just expected me to pay.
[G] You ran out with some movie [E] star and left me here to stay.
[A] I'm wondering what the hell that [Bm] I'm supposed to do.
[G] I'm sick of love and feel just [D] like I got the flu.
[A] Well, a doctor ordered for me [Bm] is some rejuvenation.
[G] I'm going to send your ass [E] on a Chinese vacation.
[D] So far [E] away, [A] I'm sending [E] you [D] away today.
Down Beijing [E] way, [A] across the wall [E] you'll join [D] the fray.
[A] And I'm [E] feeling [D] really gay, because [A] you're
a [E] million [D] miles away.
[F#m]
You could have [F] been happy [A] just to take [F#m] any chance.
I'd seduce [F] you and kiss [A] you, search [C#] for romance
without a [F] chopstick reserved [F#m] for you deep in my [A] pants.
But you're staying [D] just like ants.
[A] And you're making it so [D] hard to dance.
Hey, I [A] forgot how to [D] do the dance.
[Dm] [A] Your heart is like an army [Bm] that can do no wrong.
[G] You treat me like a puppet [D] state.
I'm just Taiwan.
[A] So go ahead and call the guard [Bm] and call up all of your troops.
[G] My tears are just as salty [E] as this wonton soup.
[A] And my strength is just as limp [Bm] as a Chinese noodle.
[G] What the hell are you trying to feed [D] me?
Is it pork or is it poodle?
[A] I need a special visa [Bm] from the United [G] Nations.
I'm going to send your ass [E] on a Chinese [D] vacation.
So far [E] away, [A] I'm sending [E] you [D] away today.
Down Beijing [E] way, [A] across the wall you'll [D] join the fray.
[A] And I'm [G#] feeling [D] really gay, [A] because you're
a [G#] million [D] miles away.
[A] But I feel so [D] sad today, like you're a billion [E]
miles [D] away.
