Standard (EADGBE)
I've sung some songs that were lame
I've slept with girls on the game
I've got my Catholic shame
Lord I'm in purgatory
(Percusion joins in from 'top', ring all chords from then, too.)
Basically, it's all come on top for me
Bridge
I wasn't me when we met
You haven't lost my respect
I'm here to serve and protect
What shade of insanity
(Ring all chords from 'back'.)
Keeps leading you ba-ack to me
Chorus
So put your hands across the water
Mushro-o-om
Monso-o-on
(Ring all chords from 'so-')
Come so-o-on
Verse
Don't wanna piss on your parade
I'm here to make money and get laid
Yeah I'm a star but I'll fade
If you ain't sticking your kni-ives through me
(Ring all chords from '-ven-')
You will be e-ven-tual-ly
To all you Sharons and Michelles
With all your tales to sell
Save your meat money well
I'm glad that spending a ni-ight with me
(Ring all chords from '-le-')
Guaranteed you ce-le-bri-ty
Bridge
And I can't talk in a crowd
When I'm alone I'm too loud
You've done your daddy's proud
Thank you for keeping me co-om-pany
(Ring all chords from 'ni-ice')
You've all been so ni-ice to me
Chorus
So put your hands across the water
Mushro-o-om
Monso-o-on
(Ring all chords from 'so-')
Come so-o-on
Middle 8
O-oh Lor', I-I feel no- othin'
I-I know much smarter men never got this far
No percussion until 'much'
I've got too many regrets
I smoked too many cigarettes
I've had more blondes than brunettes
I'm not expecting your sympathy
(Ring all chords from 'much')
But it's all been too much for me
Chorus
So put your hands across the water
Mushro-o-om
Monso-o-on
(Ring all chords from 'so-')
Come so-o-on
So put your hands across the water
Mushro-o-om
Monso-o-on
(Ring all chords from 'so-')
Come so-o-on
