Semi-Charmed Life

[Intro]
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo


[Verse 1]
F
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
C Csus4 Bb
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me

She says she lives for me
F C Csus4
Ovation her own motivation
Bb F
She comes around and she goes down on me
C Csus4
And I make her smile like a drug for you
Bb
Do ever what you want to do
F
Coming over you
C Csus4
Keep on smiling what we go through
Bb
One stop to the rhythm that divides you


[Pre-Chorus]
F C Csus4 Bb
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
F
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
C Csus4 Bb
Come on like a freak show takes the stage

We give them the games we play she said


[Chorus 1]
F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else
F
To get me through this
C Csus4 Bb
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else, I'm not listening
F C Csus4 Bb
when you say good---bye


[Post-chorus]
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo


[Verse 2]
F
The sky it was gold, it was rose
C Csus4 Bb
I was taking sips of it through my nose

And I wish I could get back there
F
Some place back there
C Csus4
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Bb
Doing crystal meth will lift

you up until you break
F C
It won't stop I won't come down
Csus4 Bb
I keep stock with a tick-tock

rhythm, a bump for the drop
F
And then I bumped up
C Csus4
I took the hit that I was given
Bb
Then I bumped again

Then I bumped again, said


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


[Chorus 1]

F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else
F
To get me through this
C Csus4 Bb
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else, I'm not listening
F C Csus4 Bb
when you say Good---bye


[Verse 3]

F C
I believe in the sand
Bb
beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
F
An earthy feeling
C
I believe in the
Bb
faith that grows
And the four right
F C Csus4
chords can make me cry
Bb
When I'm with you I
F
feel like I could die

And that would be
C Csus4 Bb
all right, all right


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

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

C Bb
One
C Bb
And you hold me
C Bb
and we're broken
F
Still it's all that I

wanna do just a little now


[Verse 4]
F C
Feel myself head
Csus4 Bb
made of the ground

I'm scared I'm not coming
F C Csus4 Bb
down, no no, and I won't
F C Csus4
run for my life
Bb
She's got her jaws now
F
locked down in a smile
C Csus4 Bb
But nothing is alright, alright


[Chorus 2]
F Csus4 Bb
I want something else
F Csus4
To get me through this
Bb
life, baby
F Csus4 Bb
I want something else

I'm not listening
F Csus4 Bb F/A Gm
when you say goodbye
Bb F/A Gm
goodbye
Bb F/A Gm
goodbye
F C Csus4 Bb F C Csus4 Bb
goodbye


[Post-chorus]
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F C Csus4 Bb
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo


[Outro]
F
The sky it was gold it was rose
C Csus4 Bb
I was taking sips of it through my nose

And I wish I could get back there
F
Some place back there
C Csus4 Bb
in the place you used to start
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else

Bb F/A Gm (hold)
