Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
C
Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 1]
G
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
D Dsus4 C
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
She says she lives for me
G D Dsus4
Ovation her own motivation
C G
She comes around and she goes down on me
D Dsus4
And I make her smile like a drug for you
C
Do ever what you want to do
G
Coming over you
D Dsus4
Keep on smiling what we go through
C
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
[Pre-Chorus]
G D Dsus4 C
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
G
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
D Dsus4 C
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play she said
[Chorus 1]
G D Dsus4 C
I want something else
G
To get me through this
D Dsus4 C
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
G D Dsus4 C
I want something else, I'm not listening
G D Dsus4 C
when you say good---bye
[Post-chorus]

Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 2]
G
The sky it was gold, it was rose
D Dsus4 C
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
G
Some place back there
D Dsus4
Smiling in the pictures you would take
C
Doing crystal meth will lift
you up until you break
G D
It won't stop I won't come down
Dsus4 C
I keep stock with a tick-tock
rhythm, a bump for the drop
G
And then I bumped up
D Dsus4
I took the hit that I was given
C
Then I bumped again
Then I bumped again, said
[Pre-Chorus]
D C
How do I get back there to
D
The place where I
C
fell asleep inside you?
D C
How do I get myself back to
D
The place where you said
[Chorus 1]
G D Dsus4 C
I want something else
G
To get me through this
D Dsus4 C
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
G D Dsus4 C
I want something else, I'm not listening
G D Dsus4 C
when you say Good---bye
[Verse 3]
G D
I believe in the sand
C
beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
G
An earthy feeling
D
I believe in the
C
faith that grows
And the four right
G D Dsus4
chords can make me cry
C
When I'm with you I
G
feel like I could die
And that would be
D Dsus4 C
all right, all right
[Bridge]
D
and when the plane came in
C D
She said she was crashing
C
The velvet it rips in
D
the city we tripped
C
On the urge to feel alive
G
But now I'm struggling
to survive
D
Those days you were wearing
C
That velvet dress
D
You're the priestess
C
I must confess
D
Those little red panties
C
They pass the test
G (hold)
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress
D C
One
D C
And you hold me
D C
and we're broken
G
Still it's all that I
wanna do just a little now
[Verse 4]
G D
Feel myself head
Dsus4 C
made of the ground
I'm scared I'm not coming
G D Dsus4 C
down, no no, and I won't
G D Dsus4
run for my life
C
She's got her jaws now
G
locked down in a smile
D Dsus4 C
But nothing is alright, alright
[Chorus 2]
G Dsus4 C
I want something else
G Dsus4
To get me through this
C
life, baby
G Dsus4 C
I want something else
I'm not listening
G Dsus4 C G/B Am

The sky it was gold it was rose
D Dsus4 C
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there

Some place back there

in the place you used to start
G D Dsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Charlie and the MTA
G C
Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie
G D7
On a tragic and fateful day.
G C
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
G D7 G
Went to ride on the M T A.
G C
But will he ever return? No he'll never return,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
G C
Charlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
G D7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
G C
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!"
G D7 G
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
G C
Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
G D7
Crying, "What will become of me?
G C
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsey,
G D7 G
Or my brother in Roxbury?"
G C
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station,
G D7
Every day at a quarter past two.
G C
And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
G D7 G
As the train goes rumbling through.
G C
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
G D7
How the people have to pay and pay?
G C
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien,
G D7 G
Get poor Charlie off the M T A!

[Verse]

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end

Always the end
Em D Em D
So when we found that we could not make sense
Em D Em D
Well you said that we would still be friends
Em D Em D Em D Em D
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
[Chorus]
Em D C D
But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened

And that we were nothing
D C D
And I don't even need your love
Em D
But you treat me like a stranger
C D
And that feels so rough
Em D C D
You didn't have to stoop so low
Em D C
Have your friends collect your records

And then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
[Chorus]
Em D C D
But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened
