[D] [A] [E]
[A] Don't start the talking [D] I [E] could talk all [A] night
My mind goes

Calculating [B] is information [F#m] Have you got [B] yourself [E]
locked [A] in?
All of us all [D] miss you [E] to [A] stay All of us all [D] we are on [E] our [A] way
And [F#m] I would rather be [D] anywhere else [E] Friday [A] to day
There [D] [E]
[A] was a check for [D] Charlie It [E] didn't crack his [A] smile
But it's no laughing [D] matter And [C#] you've been on the murder [F#m] now
Only takes [B] one itch to trigger [F#m] One more with [B] one [E] less white [A] nigger
