Chords for Roxie (Chicago) - Clarence High School

[F] [C] Now, [Eb] before [C] Amos, [F] I used [C] to date this [Eb] well-to-do ugly [C] food blogger.
[F] [Eb] He used to like to take me out and show [C] me off.
[Eb] Ugly guy liked [F] to do that.
[Eb] But once it was said [F] in the paper,
Bailin, [Eb] Alvin, I'm gonna shave his feet [F] off with cute red-headed [Eb] chlorine.
[F] That was [C] mean.
[Eb] I put it out and saved [F] it.
[C] Now [Eb] look.
Roxy [F] Rock Chicago.
[Eb] _ [F] Here, Andrew, [C] you're our fave.
Take [Eb] a look at that.
_ [F] Now I'm [Eb] not telling you the truth.
[Fm] And, [C] uh, [Eb] not that the truth really matters, [F] but I'm gonna tell you [Eb] anyway.
[F] See, I'm [C] older than I [Eb] ever intended to [F] be.
[C] All [Eb] my life, I [F] wanted to be a [C] dancer in [Eb] Vodka.
[F] Oh, yeah.
[C] [Eb] Have my own act.

[C] [Eb] But no.
[F] _ [C] No, [Eb] no, no, [F] no.
They always threw me [C] down.
[Eb] [F] Just one big girl over it [C] all.
[Eb] _ [C] _ [F] _
[C] [Eb] But [C] then, [Fm] Amos [C] came [Eb] along.
[F] _
Sweet, [Eb] safe [F] Amos.
[C] He never says [Eb] no.
[Gb] [F] You know, some guys are like [Eb] mirrors.
And [F] when I'm half to [C] myself in Amos' [Eb] face, [F] I'm [C] always a kid.
[Eb] [Ab] You could love a [F] guy like that.
[C] _ [Eb] Now I gotta tell you, [F] and I hope this ain't too [C] crude, but, uh,
[Eb] in the bed [F] department,

When I went to [Eb] bed, he made [C] love to me like [Fm] he was fixing a [Eb] carburetor or something.
[F] God, I love you, honey, [C] I love you.
[Eb] _ [F] Anyway, to make a long story [Eb] short, I started [C] fooling around.
[F] Then, then [Eb] I started messing [F] around, which is fooling [C] around.
[Eb] That was [C] enough.
And then just, I took it to the [Eb] whole bottom of the heap.
