[Bm]
[E] [C#m]
[D] [Bm]
[E]
[D] And it was [Bm] on TV singing [E] about something that [C#m] they once felt
[D] You know what [Bm] I disapprove of [E] more than Ruth or [C#m] more than myself
[Bm] I wanted to be the man I [E] was better, better, better, oh [Bm] no
But didn't wanna tell you I [E] was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone
So [Bm] we talk [A] about [F#m] ourselves [E] and how to [Bm] forget [A] the love [F#m] we [E] never felt
All [Bm] the [E] overdose [A] that works [D] so [C#] well
[Bm] You're a bastard [E] too
[A] What happened to all [F#] this love?
[C#] Just
[E] [B] [D] [A]
get out [C#] of the way
[D] [Bm]
[E]
[D] Now take her to [Bm] the bottom of your tree
[E] And the life of the living goes by
See, [D] she sees above [Bm] her and that old man's eyes
While [E] secretly he stares at her eyes
[Bm] And it was on TV singing [E] about something they felt at [Bm] some point
I didn't wanna tell you I [E] was jealous, jealous, jealous, what's the point?
[B] As [Bm] I watched [A] above [F#m] it [E] disappeared
And [Bm] the door [A] was closed [F#m] for [E] 40 years
As [Bm] we had [E] what we
[A] don't [D] wanna [F#m] hear
As [Bm] we had [E] what's really [A] in [D] our [C#] ears
[D] [Bm]
[E] [C#m]
[D] [Bm] [F#] She
[E]
[D] [Bm]
[E] [C#m]
[D] [Bm]
[E]
[Bm] is coming [A] from [F#m] a part [E] of hell
[Bm] Her light [A] blue eyes [F#m] don't go [E] down well
We [Bm] can't tell [A] if we're in [F#m] Bulgaria
[E] A
[Bm] [A] dictionary
[F#m] routine [E] as well
[Bm] Making fools [E] out of [A] the best [D] of us
We [Bm] can't well [E] pass up [A] the rest [D] of [C#] us
And [Bm] the sense [E] of self [A] is very good [D] to [F#m] gain
And [Bm] the crime [E] just like [A] cold oil [F#] is to say
Don't [C#] take that,
[E] [B] [D] don't [A] take that, let's get out [C#] of the way
