D A Asus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 1]
D
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
A Asus4 G
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
She says she lives for me
D A Asus4
Ovation her own motivation
G D
She comes around and she goes down on me
A Asus4
And I make her smile like a drug for you
G
Do ever what you want to do
D
Coming over you
A Asus4
Keep on smiling what we go through
G
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
[Pre-Chorus]
D A Asus4 G
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
D
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
A Asus4 G
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play she said
[Chorus 1]
D A Asus4 G
I want something else
D
To get me through this
A Asus4 G
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
D A Asus4 G
I want something else, I'm not listening
D A Asus4 G
when you say good---bye
[Post-chorus]

D A Asus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 2]
D
The sky it was gold, it was rose
A Asus4 G
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
D
Some place back there
A Asus4
Smiling in the pictures you would take
G
Doing crystal meth will lift
you up until you break
D A
It won't stop I won't come down
Asus4 G
I keep stock with a tick-tock
rhythm, a bump for the drop
D
And then I bumped up
A Asus4
I took the hit that I was given
G
Then I bumped again
Then I bumped again, said
[Pre-Chorus]
A G
How do I get back there to
A
The place where I
G
fell asleep inside you?
A G
How do I get myself back to
A
The place where you said
[Chorus 1]
D A Asus4 G
I want something else
D
To get me through this
A Asus4 G
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
D A Asus4 G
I want something else, I'm not listening
D A Asus4 G
when you say Good---bye
[Verse 3]
D A
I believe in the sand
G
beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
D
An earthy feeling
A
I believe in the
G
faith that grows
And the four right
D A Asus4
chords can make me cry
G
When I'm with you I
D
feel like I could die
And that would be
A Asus4 G
all right, all right
[Bridge]
A
and when the plane came in
G A
She said she was crashing
G
The velvet it rips in
A
the city we tripped
G
On the urge to feel alive
D
But now I'm struggling
to survive
A
Those days you were wearing
G
That velvet dress
A
You're the priestess
G
I must confess
A
Those little red panties
G
They pass the test
D (hold)
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress
A G
One
A G
And you hold me
A G
and we're broken
D
Still it's all that I
wanna do just a little now
[Verse 4]
D A
Feel myself head
Asus4 G
made of the ground
I'm scared I'm not coming
D A Asus4 G
down, no no, and I won't
D A Asus4
run for my life
G
She's got her jaws now
D
locked down in a smile
A Asus4 G
But nothing is alright, alright
[Chorus 2]
D Asus4 G
I want something else
D Asus4
To get me through this
G
life, baby
D Asus4 G
I want something else
I'm not listening

Charlie and the MTA
D G
Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie
D A7
On a tragic and fateful day.
D G
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
D A7 D
Went to ride on the M T A.
D G
But will he ever return? No he'll never return,
D A7
And his fate is still unlearned.
D G
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
D A7 D
He's the man who never returned.
D G
Charlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
D A7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
D G
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!"
D A7 D
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
D G
Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
D A7
Crying, "What will become of me?
D G
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsey,
D A7 D
Or my brother in Roxbury?"
D G
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station,
D A7
Every day at a quarter past two.
D G
And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
D A7 D
As the train goes rumbling through.
D G
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
D A7
How the people have to pay and pay?
D G
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien,
D A7 D
Get poor Charlie off the M T A!

Now and then I think of when we were together
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Bm A Bm A
Told myself that you were right for me

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

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end
A Bm A Bm A
Always the end
Bm A Bm A
So when we found that we could not make sense
Bm A Bm A
Well you said that we would still be friends
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
[Chorus]
Bm A G A
But you didn't have to cut me off
Bm A G
Make out like it never happened
A Bm
And that we were nothing
A G A
And I don't even need your love
Bm A
But you treat me like a stranger
G A
And that feels so rough
Bm A G A
You didn't have to stoop so low
Bm A G
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

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

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened
