get off the stage Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Me, I’m just one man,
up on [A]the stage I make my stand.
Yes, [Bm]it’s true,
I have a band up here be[F#]hind me.
While [D]you, you’ve got your crew
and [A]the Secret Service too
and your [Bm]wife from the EU,
but you’re no good at rhyming.
[F#]

[Verse 2]
So [G]hey, [A]get down off that stage,
[D]we’[G]veheard eve[A]rything you’ve got to [D]say.
You’ve[G]been calling all [A]the shots,
you’ve got us [D]all tied up in [Gm]knots.[D]
[A]C’mon man, get off the stage.
[D]

[Verse 3]
Now me, I spend half of my life in an
[A]Econoline van with my band and my wife
and when she [Bm]steps up to the mic I’ve seen
grown men burst [F#]out crying.
While [D]you, you’ve got an ugly mouth,
you got no heart at [A]all except for your Russian pal.
You’re an ob[Bm]struction in democracy’s bowel
and the patient is dying.
[F#]

[Verse 4]
[G]
So [A]come down off that stage,
[D]ple[G]ase get[A] off the st[D]age,
come on [G]down and take a [A]seat. We’ll put
some [D]John Prine on re[Gm]peat,
[D]all we’re asking is [A]get
off the stage.
[D]

[Verse 5]
[F#]
If you were an automobile
you’d be [G]out of gas
with four flat [D]tires and a smog check
that’s nev[A]er gonna [Aaug]pass.[F#]
If you were a pair of socks,
[G]you’d be full of holes,
you’re one bad [A]hombre, so,
why don’t you just turn around and go home.

[Verse 6]
And maybe [D]do something with that hair, take a walk in the park,
[A]visit a renaissance fair.
You’re headed [F#]for pris[Bm]on, you know,
but don’t be scared, the first time is [F#]the hardest.

[Verse 7]
[G]
Just [A]get down off that stage,
[D]we’[G]veheard eve[A]rything you’ve got to [D]say.
Take a [G]book down off the shelf,
[A]try to lov[D]e somebody els[Gm]e.
[D]Whatever you do, [A]just get off [D]the stage.

[Outro 1]
[D]
