Semi-Charmed Life

[Intro]
A E Esus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
D
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A E Esus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
D
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


[Post-chorus]
A E Esus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
D
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A E Esus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
D
Doo-doo-doo


[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
when you say goodbye
D A/C# Bm
goodbye
D A/C# Bm
goodbye
A E Esus4 D A E Esus4 D
goodbye


[Post-chorus]
A E Esus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
D
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A E Esus4 D
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo


[Outro]
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 D
in the place you used to start
A E Esus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
D
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

A E Esus4 D
I want something else

D A/C# Bm (hold)
