Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 1]
A
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
E Esus4 D
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
She says she lives for me
A E Esus4
Ovation her own motivation
D A
She comes around and she goes down on me
E Esus4
And I make her smile like a drug for you
D
Do ever what you want to do
A
Coming over you
E Esus4
Keep on smiling what we go through
D
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
[Pre-Chorus]
A E Esus4 D
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
A
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
E Esus4 D
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play she said
[Chorus 1]
A E Esus4 D
I want something else
A
To get me through this
E Esus4 D
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
A E Esus4 D
I want something else, I'm not listening
A E Esus4 D
when you say good---bye

[Verse 2]
A
The sky it was gold, it was rose
E Esus4 D
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
A
Some place back there
E Esus4
Smiling in the pictures you would take
D
Doing crystal meth will lift
you up until you break
A E
It won't stop I won't come down
Esus4 D
I keep stock with a tick-tock
rhythm, a bump for the drop
A
And then I bumped up
E Esus4
I took the hit that I was given
D
Then I bumped again
Then I bumped again, said
[Pre-Chorus]
E D
How do I get back there to
E
The place where I
D
fell asleep inside you?
E D
How do I get myself back to
E
The place where you said
[Chorus 1]
A E Esus4 D
I want something else
A
To get me through this
E Esus4 D
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
A E Esus4 D
I want something else, I'm not listening
A E Esus4 D
when you say Good---bye
[Verse 3]
A E
I believe in the sand
D
beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
A
An earthy feeling
E
I believe in the
D
faith that grows
And the four right
A E Esus4
chords can make me cry
D
When I'm with you I
A
feel like I could die
And that would be
E Esus4 D
all right, all right
[Bridge]
E
and when the plane came in
D E
She said she was crashing
D
The velvet it rips in
E
the city we tripped
D
On the urge to feel alive
A
But now I'm struggling
to survive
E
Those days you were wearing
D
That velvet dress
E
You're the priestess
D
I must confess
E
Those little red panties
D
They pass the test
A (hold)
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress
E D
One
E D
And you hold me
E D
and we're broken
A
Still it's all that I
wanna do just a little now
[Verse 4]
A E
Feel myself head
Esus4 D
made of the ground
I'm scared I'm not coming
A E Esus4 D
down, no no, and I won't
A E Esus4
run for my life
D
She's got her jaws now
A
locked down in a smile
E Esus4 D
But nothing is alright, alright
[Chorus 2]
A Esus4 D
I want something else
A Esus4
To get me through this
D
life, baby
A Esus4 D
I want something else
I'm not listening
A Esus4 D A/C# Bm

The sky it was gold it was rose

I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there

Some place back there

Charlie and the MTA
A D
Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie
A E7
On a tragic and fateful day.
A D
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
A E7 A
Went to ride on the M T A.
A D
But will he ever return? No he'll never return,
A E7
And his fate is still unlearned.
A D
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
A E7 A
He's the man who never returned.
A D
Charlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
A E7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
A D
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!"
A E7 A
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
A D
Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
A E7
Crying, "What will become of me?
A D
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsey,
A E7 A
Or my brother in Roxbury?"
A D
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station,
A E7
Every day at a quarter past two.
A D
And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
A E7 A
As the train goes rumbling through.
A D
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
A E7
How the people have to pay and pay?
A D
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien,
A E7 A
Get poor Charlie off the M T A!

[Verse 1]
F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E
Now and then I think of when we were together
F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
F#m E F#m E
Told myself that you were right for me
F#m E F#m E
But felt so lonely in your company
F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
F#m E F#m
Like resignation to the end
E F#m E F#m E
Always the end
F#m E F#m E
So when we found that we could not make sense
F#m E F#m E
Well you said that we would still be friends
F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
[Chorus]
F#m E D E
But you didn't have to cut me off
F#m E D
Make out like it never happened
E F#m
And that we were nothing
E D E
And I don't even need your love
F#m E
But you treat me like a stranger
D E
And that feels so rough
F#m E D E
You didn't have to stoop so low
F#m E D
Have your friends collect your records
E F#m
And then change your number
E D E
I guess that I don't need that though
F#m E D E
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
[Interlude]

F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
E
And I don't wanna live that way
E
Reading into every word you say
E
You said that you could let it go
E N.C.
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
[Chorus]
F#m E D E
But you didn't have to cut me off
F#m E D
Make out like it never happened
E F#m
And that we were nothing
E D E
And I don't even need your love
F#m E
But you treat me like a stranger
D E
And that feels so rough
F#m E D E
You didn't have to stoop so low
F#m E D
Have your friends collect your records
E F#m
And then change your number
E D E
I guess that I don't need that though
F#m E D E
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
[Outro]
F#m E D E
Somebody… I used to know
F#m E D E
Somebody… That I used to know
F#m E D E
Somebody… I used to know
F#m E D E
Somebody… (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)
F#m E D E
I used to know
F#m E D E
That I used to know
F#m E D E
I used to know
F#m E D E
Somebody…
