[B] Day after day
[N] [B] [A] [E]
[N] [Gm] And I [B] will play
But the day after today
[N] Will [B] [E] stop
[N]
And I
[B] [N] [B]
[A]
[Bm] [B] Why can't I get just one kiss?
Why can't I get just [A] one kiss?
There'd be some things that I wouldn't [B] miss
But I looked at your [C] pants and I need a kiss
[B] Why can't I get just one screw?
Why can't I get just one screw?
[A] Believe me I know what [B] to do
But something [Eb] won't let me make love to you
[D] Why [B] can't I get just one fuck?
Why can't I get just [A] one fuck?
I guess it's got something to do [B] with luck
But I'll wear my whole life for just one kiss
Day after day
[A] I get angry
And I will [Bm] say
That the day is at my side
When I [A] take a bow to say goodnight
[D] Oh my mama, mama
If you kept your eye, your eye on your son
I know you've [A] had problems, you're not the only one
[B] When you should've left, you left you [D] on the run
So mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Take a [B] look now, look what your boy has done
He's walking [A] around like he's number one
He went [B] downtown and he got all my guns
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing [E] at me
You know [A] you got my sympathy
But don't shoot, [B] shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing [A] at me
You know you got my [B] sympathy
But don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
[D] [A] [Bm]
Down kitchen at the top of the stairs
Can I [D] mix in with your affairs?
[E] Share a smoke, make a joke
Grasp [Bm] and reach for a leg of hope
Words to memorize, words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
Words all fail the magic [Gbm] prize
Nothing I can [B] say when I'm in your [Bm] thighs
So mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
I would [B] love to love you, [A] lover
City's restless, it's ready to [B] pounce
Go to your bedroom, ounce for [Bm] ounce
And mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
I would [B] love to love you, lover
City's [A] restless, it's ready to [B] pounce
Go to your bedroom, ounce for ounce
I'm here for you, decision to make
Things to lose, things to [A] take
Just about ready to cut it up
Wait [Bm] a minute, honey, I'm gonna add it [B] up
Add it up, add it up, add it up
Add it up, [A] add it up, add it up
You [Bm] gotta add it up, add it up, add it up
Add it up, add it up, [B]
add it up
I'll [A] get angry, and I will say
Add it up, add it up, add [B] it up
It's in my head, so
When I [A] take a bow, I [D] say goodnight
[Eb]
