 I'll make you a Dmdeal, like any Amother candidate

 We'll preGtend we're walking home 'cause your future's at stake

 My Dmset is amazing, it even Amsmells like a street

 There's a Gbar at the end where I can meet you and your friend

DmSomeone scrawled on the wall "I smell the Amblood of les tricoteuses" G

Who wrote up scandals in other bars

 I'm havingDm so much fun with the Ampoisonous people

 Spreading Grumours and lies and stories they made up

DmSome make you sing and sAmome make you scream

GOne makes you wish that you've never been seen

 But there's a Dmshop on the corner that's selling Ampaper mache

 Making Gbulletproof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay

 If you Dmwant it, Amboys, get it Ghere, thing

 So you Dmscream out of line "I Amwant you! I need you!

GAnyone out there? Any time?"

DmTres butch little number whines "Hey Amdirty, I want you

 When it's Ggood, it's really good, and when it's bad I go to pieces"

 If you Dmwant it, Amboys, get it Ghere, thing

 Well, on the Dmstreet where you live I could not Amhold up my head

 For I Gput all I have in another bed

 On another Dmfloor, in the Amback of a car

 In the Gcellar like a church with the door ajar

 Well, I Dmguess we must be looking for a Amdifferent kind

 But we Gcan't stop trying 'til we break up our minds

 'Til the Dmsun drips blood on the Amseedy young nights

 Who Gpress you on the ground while shaking in fright

 I gDmuess we could cruise down Amone more time

 With Gyou by my side, it should be fine

 We'll Dmbuy some drugs and Amwatch a band

 Then jGump in the river holding hands

such in the bass. E5 would be the safest bet here).
