Semi-Charmed Life

[Intro]
C G Gsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
C G Gsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F
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
C G Gsus4 F
when you say good---bye


[Post-chorus]
C G Gsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
C G Gsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F
Doo-doo-doo


[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
when you say goodbye
F C/E Dm
goodbye
F C/E Dm
goodbye
C G Gsus4 F C G Gsus4 F
goodbye


[Post-chorus]
C G Gsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
C G Gsus4 F
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo


[Outro]
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 F
in the place you used to start
C G Gsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

C G Gsus4 F
I want something else

F C/E Dm (hold)
