[Db] [Ab]
[Ebm] [Gb] [Db]
[Ab]
[Ebm] [Gb]
[Db] The mother and the [Ab] stranger in a strange [Ebm] land
[Gb] Feel like [Db] an alien
Like I'm on the [Ab] outside [Ebm] looking in
[Gb] I don't seem to fit [Db] in
Maybe I'm [Ab] Aladdin with a [Ebm] rusty lamp
[Gb] A dream he never stood a [Db] chance
To [Ab] make all my wishes [Ebm] come [Gb] true
But here's what I wanna [Db] do
[Ab] I'm gonna read him a one-page [Ebm] study
[Gb] When I'm [Db] president
I [Ab] want twenty-eight to nine, [Ebm] my friend
[Gb] When I'm [Db] president
They're like [Ab] thieves on the Holy [Ebm] Road
[Gb] Digging out the [Db] mother's love
[Ab] Like pirates on the open [Ebm] sea
They're [Gb] like highway
[Db] robberies
Still [Ab] winding down to [Ebm] burn our house
[Gb] Mad up, you're [Db] ridiculous
And I [Ab] can't take it with [Ebm] ya
[Gb] So give a little [Db] extra
I'm gonna [Ab] read him a [Db] one-page [Ebm] study
[Gb] When I'm [Db] president
No [Ab] more bargains in the [Ebm] basement
[Gb] When I'm [Db] president Washington, [Ab] Jefferson
[Ebm] Watch out, baby, [Gb] here I come
[Db] Burnt for hell, [Ab] see you die
[Ebm] You're gonna see my ugly [Gb] mother
My worst mother, [Ebm] yeah
[Db] [Ab]
[Ebm] [Ab]
[Ebm] [Ab]
[Ebm] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[Ebm] [Gb]
[Db] You [Ab] go in with the right [Ebm] intent
When [Gb] you become [Db] president
All [Ab] those truths will be self [Ebm]-evident
When [Gb] you become [Db] president
But [Ab] something happens to you off [Ebm] on the head
[Gb] It's business as [Db] usual
How do you [Ab] wanna buck the [Ebm] system?
[Gb] Welcome to the pit and the [Db] pendulum
[Ab] I'm gonna read him a one-page [Ebm] study
[Gb] When I'm [Db] president
I want [Ab] twenty-eight to nine, [Ebm] my friend
[Gb] When I'm [Db] president
No more [Ab] bargains in the [Ebm] basement
[Gb] When I'm [Db] president
Everything's [Ab] gonna be [Gb] different
When I'm [Db] president
We all just sit [Ab] and see what happens
[Ebm] When I'm [Gb] president
I'll stick it through the [Db] fire
Cross my [Ab] heart, I'll book the guy
[Ebm] When I'm [Gb] president
It's a gonna [Db] fly
Look at him!
