Start Jamming...
What's all this crazy question asking me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be.
Don't turn on the lights cause I don't wanna see.
I'm not told when I'm coming.
[Db] [Eb] [Ab] I'm not told when I'm coming.
[Db] [Eb] [Ab] That ain't the way [Db] that I'm coming [Eb] down.
[Ab]
[Cm] [Ab] Open up your window.
Let some air into this room.
I think I'm always choking from the smell of stale [Eb] perfume.
And that [Ab] cigarette you're smoking, I'm scared to death.
Open up the window, sucka.
Let me catch my breath.
I'm not told when I'm coming.
[Db] [Ebm] [Ab] I'm not told when I'm coming.
[Db] [Eb] [Ab] That ain't the way [Db] that I'm coming [Eb] down.
That [Ab] ain't [Ebm] the way that I'm coming down.

Radio is blasting.
Someone's knocking at the door.
I'm looking at my girlfriend.
She passed out on the floor.
I've seen so many things I ain't never seen before.
Look, no one is.
I don't wanna see no more.
I'm not told when I'm coming.
[Db] [Eb] [Ab] I'm not told when I'm [Db] coming.
[Eb] [Ab] She said, That ain't the way [Db] to have fun, [Ab] son.
That ain't [F] the way to have fun, no.
