The Check's In The Mail Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em]
[D]
Oo[Eb]h, if

[Verse 1]
[Em]
promises were dollars
I'd be [A]a millionaire
In[Em]stead I'm living a squalor
And getting skinny [A]and pale[Em]
You [D]know your [Em]phone is always busy
Or else you put me on [A]hold[Em]
I'm getting hungry and dizzy
And this is getting real old

[Verse 2]
The [G]postman don't ring [A]twice in my house
In [D]fact, he don't ring [Em]at all
[G]No UPS, no [A]Federal Express
Won't some[B]body give me a call?
[Em]You [F#m]say the check's

[Verse 3]
[Em]in the mail
Is it a lie?
[D]Check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale?
[A]Don't tell me, baby
I've heard it all before
[Em]Check's in the mail
[A]You [D]say the [Em]check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
[D]Check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale?
[A]Don't tell me, baby
I've heard it all before
[Em]Check's [G]in the [A]mail[G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[D]Ooh, you [Eb]say, [Em]"Baby, tomorrow"
But tomorrow never [A]comes[Em]
[A]I got[Em] no one to borrow
It's time to get out [A]the guns[Em]
[D]The[Em] light in the tunnel
Is just the oncoming [A]train
[Em]Better listen for the rumble
'Cause it's the calm before
the [A]rain[Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]The postman don't [A]ring twice in my house
In [D]fact, he don't ring [Em]at all
No [G]UP S, no [A]Federal Express
Won't some[B]body give me a call?
[F#m]You say the check's

[Verse 6]
[Em]in the mail
Is it a lie?
[D]Check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale?
[A]Don't tell me, baby
I've heard it all before
[Em]Check's in the mail
I look every day
[D]'Cause [Em]the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
[D]Check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale?
[A]Don't tell me, baby
I'd be really surprised
[Em]Check's [G]in the [A]mail
