A man walks down the [G] street, he [F] says,
why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in [C] the middle?
The rest of my [F] life is so hard.
I need a photo [C] opportunity.
I [F] want a shot [Am] of redemption.
Don't [F] want to end up a [G] cartoon [F] in a cartoon graveyard.
Bone digger, bone [Bb] digger, [F] dogs in the moonlight. _
Far away, [Bb] my well-lit [C] road.
Strip your belly, your [Bb] belly.
Get these [C] mutts away from me.
[F]
I don't find this stuff [Bb] on music anymore.
[Cm] [F] If you would be my bodyguard, I can [C] be your [F] long lost [C] pal.
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _
I can [C] call you [Bb] Betty.
[F] Betty, when [C] you call [F] me, you can call me an [C] asshole.
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _
A man walks down the street, [G] he says,
[F] why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of [C] attention.
And [F] all my nights are so long.
Where's my wife and [Gm] family?
[F] What if I die here?
Who'll be my role [Gm] model [F] now that my role model is gone?
Gone.
[Bb] He ducked back [C] down the alley with [F] some
of the grody, poley, [Bb] little bat [C] face girl.
[F] All along, along, [Gm] there were [C] incidents and accidents.
There [F] were hints and allegations.
[Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ [F]
If you would be [C] my [Bb] [F] bodyguard, I can [C] be your [F] long lost [C] pal.
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _

A man walks down the [Gm] street.
[F] It's a street in a strange world.
Maybe it's the third [C] world.
Maybe it's his [F] first time around.
Doesn't speak [Gm] language.
[F] Holds no currency.
He is a foreign [Gm] man.
[F] He is surrounded by the sound of the [C] sound.
_ Cattle in the [F] marketplace.
[C] Scatterlings and [Bb] orphans.
_ [Am] He looks around, around.
[Fm] He sees angels in the architecture.
[F] Spinning and spinning.
He says, hey, _ hallelujah.
If you would [C] be my [Bb] [F] bodyguard, I can [C] be your [F] long lost [C] pal.
[Bb] _ [F] [C] Soon, [F] _
I can [C] call you Betty.
[Bb] And [F] Betty, [C] when you call [F] me, you call [Am] _ [Bb] me [F] out.
[C] _ [F] Call me.
Na, na, na, [G] na, [F] na, na, [C] na, na, [F] na, na, _ [G] na, [F] na, na, na,
