[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I've got a bitter
pot of je [G]ne sais quoi
[Am]Guess what- - - I'm stirring it
with a monkey's [G]paw[F]
Since I saw you coming [E]out
of my barber's [Am]shop
In that skimpy little hal[Em]ter top

[Verse 2]
[Am]Did you light the candles? Did you
[G]put on "Kind of Blue"?
[Am]Did you use that Ivy Leaage voo
[G]doo on him, too?
[F]He thinks he'll be alright but he
[E]doesn't know for sure
Like [Am]every [Em]other[C]
unindicted coconspirator

[Verse 3]
Mata Hari had a house in [G]France[Am]
Where she worked on all
[G]her secret [F]plans
Men were falling for her sight [E]unseen
She was a genius
[Am][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
[G][Am][G]
There's a [Am]face in every window [G]of the
Songwriter's Neighborhood
[Am]Everybody's your best friend whey you're
[G]doing well- - I mean [Am]good[F]
The poet who lived next door when
[E]you were young and poor
Grew [Am]up to be a back
[Em]stabbing entrepreneur[C]

[Verse 5]
Albert Einstein was [G]a ladies' man
[Am]While he was working on
his uni[G]versal [F]plan
He was making out like [E]Charlie Sheen
He was [Am]a genius

[Verse 6]
[Am]
[F]When you [Am]dropped me [F]and
[E]you staked your [Am]claim
On a V.I.P. who could [C]make [F]your name
You latched on to him [E]and I became
A minor inconveni[Am]ence

[Verse 7]
[F]
Your protege don't [E]care about [Am]art
I'm the one who always told [C]you
[F]you were smart
You broke my heart into [E]smithereens
And that took [Am]genius
[G][Em]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
[G]You[Am][G][Em][Am]
[G][Em][F][E][Dm][C]
[Am]and the
[G]bar[Am]ber make a handsome pai[G]r[Am]
Guess what- - - I never liked the way
[G]he cut your [D]hair[Am][Dm]
I didn't [F]like the way he turned
[E]your head
But there's [Am]nothing I can do or say
[Em]I haven't done [G]or said[C]

[Verse 9]
Everybody needs a place [G]to [Am]stand
And a method for their schemes [G]and scams
[C]If [F]I could only get my re [E]cord clean
