[E]
[G#m] [C#m]
[E]
[G#m] [C#m] So you [E] can't do me.
You can't do me.
You can't do me.
The [G#m] way you did [C#m] before, you [E] can't do me.
You can't do me.
You can't do me the [G#m] way you did [C#m] before, but [E] when you do.
And when you do, cause when you do, you know [G#m] I get [B] so blue.
[C#] When you do, [E] and when you do, and when you do, you [G#m] know I get so [C#m] blue.
And I'd go down like a deep sea diver, out like a cold chained [A#m] tenement,
[A#m] lost like a Chinese [B] war baby, gone [C#] gone gone.
[C#m] I'd be blue like a Mississippi [F#] ship, cropped, screwed like a high school [A#m] cheerleader,
tattooed like a Popeye's [B] sailor man, gone [C#] gone [C#m] gone.
I should have [E] been, I should have been, I should have been,
a [G#m] pair of ragged clothes.
[C#] I should have been, [E] I should have been, I should [G#m] have been,
a pair of ragged [C#] clothes.
And for a [E] while, just a while, for a good long while,
you'd see [G#m] me smile, [C#] smile, smile, and crawl the [E] sea,
[C#m] on my bony [G#m] knees, no [E] apologies, for [G#m] my brand [C#] new style.
I [C#m] wouldn't go bust like an infinite millionaire, boom like a Lebanese belly [A#m] dancer,
bang like a New Year's [B] firecracker, gone [C#] gone gone.
I [C#m] wouldn't get bit like a [F#] rat in a rapping chair,
blank like a [C#] last place salsa man, [A#m] burn like an Arkansas [B] middle kid, gone [C#] gone gone.
[C#m]
[A#m] [B] Gone [C#] gone gone.
[C#m]
[A#m] [B] Gone [C#] gone gone.
I [C#m] should have [E] been, I should have been, I should have been,
a [G#m] pair of ragged [C#] clothes.
And if I [E] was, if I was, then [G#m] if I was, then I'd complain [C#m] no more.
And [E] for a while, just [C#] a while, for a good long while,
you'd see [G#m] me smile, [B] smile, smile, and crawl [G#m] the sea,
on my bony [E] knees, no apologies, for my brand [C#] new style.
I [C#m] wouldn't get wrecked like a ribbon on a racetrack,
jacked like a [A#m] 51 Cadillac, macked like a bunny hat, [B] gone [C#] gone gone.
[C#m] Spittoon like an [C#] Alabama backyard, harpoon in a Melville [A#m] cell yard,
cartoon like a Charlie Brown [B] Christmas card, gone [C#] gone gone.
[F#] Scooped like a [C#m] milk money bully whip, [C#] sued like a [C#] teenage downloader,
unglued like a bull in a [B] china shop, gone [C#] gone gone.
Cranked like a speed freak [C#m] high roller, yanked like a little man in a [A#m] bald swatter,
spanked like a fly on a [A] bar counter, gone [C#] gone gone.
[F#] Duked like a pistol whip, cart swapper, rebuked like a Bible bet [A#m] border crosser,
duked like a pay-holder, [F#m] tar-topper, gone [C#] gone gone.
