Semi-Charmed Life

[Intro]
E B Bsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
E B Bsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A
Doo-doo-doo


[Verse 1]
E
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
B Bsus4 A
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me

She says she lives for me
E B Bsus4
Ovation her own motivation
A E
She comes around and she goes down on me
B Bsus4
And I make her smile like a drug for you
A
Do ever what you want to do
E
Coming over you
B Bsus4
Keep on smiling what we go through
A
One stop to the rhythm that divides you


[Pre-Chorus]
E B Bsus4 A
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
E
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
B Bsus4 A
Come on like a freak show takes the stage

We give them the games we play she said


[Chorus 1]
E B Bsus4 A
I want something else
E
To get me through this
B Bsus4 A
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
E B Bsus4 A
I want something else, I'm not listening
E B Bsus4 A
when you say good---bye


[Post-chorus]
E B Bsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
E B Bsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A
Doo-doo-doo


[Verse 2]
E
The sky it was gold, it was rose
B Bsus4 A
I was taking sips of it through my nose

And I wish I could get back there
E
Some place back there
B Bsus4
Smiling in the pictures you would take
A
Doing crystal meth will lift

you up until you break
E B
It won't stop I won't come down
Bsus4 A
I keep stock with a tick-tock

rhythm, a bump for the drop
E
And then I bumped up
B Bsus4
I took the hit that I was given
A
Then I bumped again

Then I bumped again, said


[Pre-Chorus]
B A
How do I get back there to
B
The place where I
A
fell asleep inside you?
B A
How do I get myself back to
B
The place where you said


[Chorus 1]

E B Bsus4 A
I want something else
E
To get me through this
B Bsus4 A
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
E B Bsus4 A
I want something else, I'm not listening
E B Bsus4 A
when you say Good---bye


[Verse 3]

E B
I believe in the sand
A
beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
E
An earthy feeling
B
I believe in the
A
faith that grows
And the four right
E B Bsus4
chords can make me cry
A
When I'm with you I
E
feel like I could die

And that would be
B Bsus4 A
all right, all right


[Bridge]
B
and when the plane came in
A B
She said she was crashing
A
The velvet it rips in
B
the city we tripped
A
On the urge to feel alive
E
But now I'm struggling

to survive
B
Those days you were wearing
A
That velvet dress
B
You're the priestess
A
I must confess
B
Those little red panties
A
They pass the test
E (hold)
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress

B A
One
B A
And you hold me
B A
and we're broken
E
Still it's all that I

wanna do just a little now


[Verse 4]
E B
Feel myself head
Bsus4 A
made of the ground

I'm scared I'm not coming
E B Bsus4 A
down, no no, and I won't
E B Bsus4
run for my life
A
She's got her jaws now
E
locked down in a smile
B Bsus4 A
But nothing is alright, alright


[Chorus 2]
E Bsus4 A
I want something else
E Bsus4
To get me through this
A
life, baby
E Bsus4 A
I want something else

I'm not listening
E Bsus4 A E/G# F#m
when you say goodbye
A E/G# F#m
goodbye
A E/G# F#m
goodbye
E B Bsus4 A E B Bsus4 A
goodbye


[Post-chorus]
E B Bsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
E B Bsus4 A
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo


[Outro]
E
The sky it was gold it was rose
B Bsus4 A
I was taking sips of it through my nose

And I wish I could get back there
E
Some place back there
B Bsus4 A
in the place you used to start
E B Bsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

E B Bsus4 A
I want something else

A E/G# F#m (hold)
