Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 1]
C
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
G Gsus4 F
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
She says she lives for me
C G Gsus4
Ovation her own motivation
F C
She comes around and she goes down on me
G Gsus4
And I make her smile like a drug for you
F
Do ever what you want to do
C
Coming over you
G Gsus4
Keep on smiling what we go through
F
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Gsus4 F
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
C
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
G Gsus4 F
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play she said
[Chorus 1]
C G Gsus4 F
I want something else
C
To get me through this
G Gsus4 F
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
C G Gsus4 F
I want something else, I'm not listening

[Verse 2]
C
The sky it was gold, it was rose
G Gsus4 F
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
C
Some place back there
G Gsus4
Smiling in the pictures you would take
F
Doing crystal meth will lift
you up until you break
C G
It won't stop I won't come down
Gsus4 F
I keep stock with a tick-tock
rhythm, a bump for the drop
C
And then I bumped up
G Gsus4
I took the hit that I was given
F
Then I bumped again
Then I bumped again, said
[Pre-Chorus]
G F
How do I get back there to
G
The place where I
F
fell asleep inside you?
G F
How do I get myself back to
G
The place where you said
[Chorus 1]
C G Gsus4 F
I want something else
C
To get me through this
G Gsus4 F
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
C G Gsus4 F
I want something else, I'm not listening
C G Gsus4 F
when you say Good---bye
[Verse 3]
C G
I believe in the sand
F
beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
C
An earthy feeling
G
I believe in the
F
faith that grows
And the four right
C G Gsus4
chords can make me cry
F
When I'm with you I
C
feel like I could die
And that would be
G Gsus4 F
all right, all right
[Bridge]
G
and when the plane came in
F G
She said she was crashing
F
The velvet it rips in
G
the city we tripped
F
On the urge to feel alive
C
But now I'm struggling
to survive
G
Those days you were wearing
F
That velvet dress
G
You're the priestess
F
I must confess
G
Those little red panties
F
They pass the test
C (hold)
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress
G F
One
G F
And you hold me
G F
and we're broken
C
Still it's all that I
wanna do just a little now
[Verse 4]
C G
Feel myself head
Gsus4 F
made of the ground
I'm scared I'm not coming
C G Gsus4 F
down, no no, and I won't
C G Gsus4
run for my life
F
She's got her jaws now
C
locked down in a smile
G Gsus4 F
But nothing is alright, alright
[Chorus 2]
C Gsus4 F
I want something else
C Gsus4
To get me through this
F
life, baby
C Gsus4 F
I want something else
I'm not listening
C Gsus4 F C/E Dm

Charlie and the MTA
C F
Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie
C G7
On a tragic and fateful day.
C F
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
C G7 C
Went to ride on the M T A.
C F
But will he ever return? No he'll never return,
C G7
And his fate is still unlearned.
C F
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
C G7 C
He's the man who never returned.
C F
Charlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
C G7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
C F
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!"
C G7 C
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
C F
Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
C G7
Crying, "What will become of me?
C F
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsey,
C G7 C
Or my brother in Roxbury?"
C F
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station,
C G7
Every day at a quarter past two.
C F
And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
C G7 C
As the train goes rumbling through.
C F
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
C G7
How the people have to pay and pay?
C F
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien,
C G7 C
Get poor Charlie off the M T A!

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
[Bridge]

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

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

And I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go
G N.C.
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
[Chorus]
Am G F G
But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened
