G D* Cadd9 (x2)

G D* Cadd9 (x2 over:)
Do-do-do..

                   G
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling
      D*
She's living, she's golden
    Cadd9
She lives for me, says she lives for me
 G
Ovation
    D*
Her own motivation
Cadd9
She comes round and she goes down on me

G                 D*                     Cadd9
   And I make her smile like a drug for you
                                         G
Do ever what you want to do, coming over you
        D*
Keep on smiling what we go through
Cadd9
   One stop to the rhythm that divides you
G                D*                         Cadd9
  And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
                                     G
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
               D*                   Cadd9
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
(Cadd9)
We give them the games we play, she said

G      D*         Cadd9
I want something else to get me through this
G   D*                    Cadd9
    Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
G      D*         Cadd9                        G        D*
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say
     Cadd9
Good-bye

G D* Cadd9 (x2 over:)
Do-do-do...

            G
The sky was gold, it was rose
      D*                           Cadd9
I was taking sips of it through my nose
                                              G
And I wish I could get back there, someplace, back there
               D*
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Cadd9
Doing crystal myth will lift you up until you break
         G
It won't stop
             D*
I won't come down, I keep stock
       Cadd9
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the top
           G                     D*
And then I bumped up, I took the hit the I was given
      Cadd9
And I bumped again and then I bumped again and said

D              Cadd9
  How do I get back there to
    D                  Cadd9
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
D            Cadd9
How do I get myself back to
D
The place where you said

G      D*         Cadd9
I want something else to get me through this
G   D*                    Cadd9
    Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
G      D*         Cadd9                        G        D*
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say
     Cadd9
Good-bye

G                   D               Cadd9
   I believe in the sand beneath my toes
                                      G
The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
    D                       Cadd9
I believe in the faith that grows
                              G            D*
And the four right chords can make me cry
Cadd9                                  G
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
                  D*
And that would be all right
Cadd9
    All right

             D                    Cadd9
And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing
D                Cadd9
   The velvet it rips in the city
   D                       Cadd9
We tripped on the urge to feel alive
    G
But now I'm struggling to survive
      D                          Cadd9
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
D                       Cadd9
You're the priestess, I must confess
      D                        Cadd9
Those little red panties, they pass the test
     G (stacatto strum)
As I slip around the belly face down on the mattress

D     Cadd9
One
        D         Cadd9
And you hold me
          D         Cadd9
And we're broken
           G
Still it's all that I want to do, just a little now

G            D*               Cadd9
Feel myself, head made of the ground
                              G     D*     Cadd9
I'm scared but I'm not coming down,     no no
                     G         D*
And I won't run for my life
Cadd9                                 G
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
               D*        Cadd9
but nothing is all right, all right

    G     D           Cadd9
And I want something else,
          G           D    Cadd9
To get me through this     life
      G     D           Cadd9
Baby, I want something else
              G        D (let ring)
Not listening when you say
     Cadd9  G/B  Am
Good-bye
     Cadd9  G/B  Am
Good-bye
     Cadd9  G/B  Am
Good-bye
     G   D*  Cadd9
Good-bye

G D* Cadd9 (x1 ONLY)

G D* Cadd9 (x2 over:)
Do-do-do...

            G
The sky was gold, it was rose
      D*                           Cadd9
I was taking sips of it through my nose
(Cadd9)
And i wish i could get back there someplace
G                 D*                      Cadd9
Back there in the place where you used to smile

G D* Cadd9 (x1 ONLY over:)
Do-do-do...
G      D*        Cadd9
I want something else

Cadd9 G/B Am (let ring)
