[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][Em][C][G][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Not [G]that
you want to be [D]out of curiosity
[Em]Just a corsage of the [C]world
[G]I was in love with a g[Am]irl,
I would [C]the violence fore[D]see.
[G]All that it ought to be,
[D]blessed by generosity,
[Em]sure to put your heart in [C]a whirl.
[G]Stop to pick up a dollar [Am]bill,
as the blood drips at the [D]mill.
[G]Have you got fried chicken?
[D]You ate it up so fast,
[Em]laid down its life just for you.[C]
[G]Now you have nothing to [Am]do,
just a television [D]tube.
[G]Though for goodness sake,
[D]and the love you make,
[G]skippin[Em]g stones at the lak[C]e.
[G]You've got a half -baked [Am]idea,
to think we'd be so glad to [D]see ya.
[G]Lost in your lonely room,
[D]how they grow up and bloom,
[Em]young girls in the magaz[C]ine,
[G]how they took part in [Am]your doom,
babies step out of the wom[D]b,
[G]hunger and lust for life,
[D]she was like any housewife,
[Em]darning the socks with concern[C].
[G]Glad you ever were [Am]born,
just to get up in the [D]morn.
Though all [G]the while
you [D]were surrounded by amateurs,
[Em]Breathing in love so in[C]sane
Think[G]ing your hope was re[Am]framed
And the emotional [D]pain
Noth[G]ing to do but cry
[D]As you dry your eyes
[Em]Watching the soap opera [C]die
[G]Longing for the freedom of suc[Am]cess
When we're all just a temporary [D]guest
Liv[G]ing in such a mess,
[D]I'll bring you back again
[Am]Just [C]like you used to have bee[G]n[C]
[G]How could you really [Am]win?
Pledging your existence to [D]sin
We'll [G]delight in the twilight,
[D]anything to make it right,
[Em]when there's nothing left but noth[C]ing,
[G]but an empty [Am]song,
why did it have to go [D]wrong,
how it [G]all works [D]out,
something about it
so [Em]thinking that love is a [C]crime
[G]you were a friend of [Am]mine
standing there at this [D]time
[G]you're gonna make it
Joe [D]love is sure to follow
[Em]happy to be that [C]way
[G]tomorrow is brand -new [Am]day
what do you have to [D]say[G][D][Em][C][G][Am]
[D][G][D][Em][Am][C]
[G][Am][D][Am][G]
