[D] [G] Down here where [Am] the heat's so fine, [Em] I'll drink to your [Bm] health and you drink to [G] mine.
As we try [A] to make the money we [D] scored out in Vegas [A] hold out for a while, we [D] drink vodka
[Am] from Russia, [Em] [Bm] we get our chocolates from Belgium, [G] we have [A] our strawberries flown [D] in from England,
but none of the [G] money we spent [D] seems to do us much [G] good in the end.
[D] I got a cracked [A] engine block, both of us [D] do.
[A] We [D] got a house and the jewels, [Gm] the Italian race car, [D] they don't make us feel [G] better about who we are.
[D] I got termites [A] in the framework, [D] so do you.
Down [Am] here where the watermelon grows so [Em] sweet, where I worship the [G] ground underneath of your feet,
we are experts [A] in the art [D] of frivolous spending.
[A] [D]
It's going on like [Am] this for three years [Em] I guess, and we're drunk all the time, [Bm] and our lives are [G] a mess.
And the deathless [A] love we swore to [D] protect with our bodies is stumbling [A] across its bleak ending,
[D] but none of the rage in our [G] eyes [D] seems to finish it off where [G] it lies.
[D] I got sugar [A] in the fuel [D] lines, both of us do.
[A] [D] We got the fights and the lies that [G] we both love to [D] tell, fail to send our love to its [G] reward down in hell.
I [D] got pudding [A] for a backbone, [D] but so do you.
La la la [G] la, [D] hey!
