[E] [Em] Turn the lights down low, turn up the music,
[E]
All the gangs here, [Em] it's crazy,
[A]
[Em] Get rich,
[B]
[A] Walk [E]
the tightrope, [Em] such a bright way,
Whenever you buy,
[Bm] Have [A]
[E] you [Em] a future?
[E] [B] [A]
[Em]
Well [A]

[A] [E]
I've [D] been up all night,
Yeah, [A] party time wasting [E] is too much fun,
Then [D] I step back, thinking [A] of life's inner meaning,
[E] And my legs are slain,
[D] It's the same old story,
[A] All love and glory [E] is a pantomime,
[D] If you're looking for love,
[A] In a looking ass world, it's [E] pretty hard to find,
[D] Oh mother of pearl,
[A] I wouldn't trade you [E] for another girl,
[D] Divine intervention, [A] always my intention,
So I [E] take my time,
[D] I've been looking for something,
[A] I've always wanted, [E] but was never mine,
But [D] now I've seen that something,
[A] Just out of reach, glowing, very [E] holy grail,
[D] Oh mother of pearl,
[A] Lustrous lady [E] of a sacred world,
[D] Thus even Zarathustra,
[A] Another time loser, [E] could believe in you,
With [D] every goddess let down,
[A] Every idol of bring down,
[E] It gets you down,
But [D] the search for perfection,
[A] Your own predilection,
[E] Goes on and on and on and on,
[D] Canadian club love,
A [A] place in the country [E] everyone's ideal,
But you [D] are my favorite,
And [Am] a place in your heart [E] dear,
Makes me feel more real,
[D] Oh mother of pearl,
[A] I wouldn't change [E] you for the whole world,
[D] Your high brow holy,
With [A] lots of so well and all [E] this shimmering,
[D] Serpentine sleekness,
[A] Was always my weakness,
Like [E] a simple jewel,
[D] But no dilettante,
[A] Fillet we fancy,
Beats [E] the plastic you,
[D] Korea girl cover,
[A] Exposed and another slips [E] right into you,
[D] Oh looking for love,
[A] In a looking glass world,
Is [E] pretty hard for you,
You [D] throw away kisses,
The [A]
boomerang [E] kisses,
Spin round and round,
[D] Full of feather bed quilted,
[A] Face to self's all these [E] love,
I'd do down,
Take [D] refuge in pleasure,
[A] Just give me your future,
[E] We'll forget your past,
[D] Oh mother of pearl,
[A] Submarine lover,
In [E] a shrinking world,
Oh [D] lonely dreamer,
Your [A] choker purple,
Stop it [E] you're a pamio,
[D] Oh mother of pearl,
[A] So so semi precious,
In [E] your detached world,
[D] Oh mother of pearl,
[A] I wouldn't trade you [E] for another girl,
[D] Oh mother of pearl,
[A] I wouldn't trade you for [E] another girl,
[D] Oh mother of pearl,
[A] I wouldn't trade you for [E] another girl,
[D] Oh mother of pearl,
[G] I wouldn't trade you for another girl Oh!
