Another night out on the street

That just stinks...it's not for me         ***


                 A             F         G            E
   It feels like somebody put something somebody put something in my drink
                 Somebody put something somebody put something


Blurred vision and dirty thoughts
Feel out of place, very distraught
Feel something coming on

Kick the jukebox, slam the floor
Drink, drink, drink, drink some more
I can't think Hey! What's in this drink?   ***

   It feels like somebody put something somebody put something in my drink
                 Somebody put something somebody put something in my drink

                 Somebody put something somebody put something in my drink
                 Somebody put something


       G    E
In my drink
In my drink
In my drink
       A      F      G
In my drink


[ A  F  G ]


So you think it's funny a college prank
Goin' insane for something to drink
Feel a little dry

Oh, I couldn't care what you think of me
Cause somebody put something in my drink
I can't think Hey! Give me a drink

   It feels like somebody put something somebody put something in my drink
                 Somebody put something somebody put something in my drink

LOVE KILLS


[ G  E  C  D ]  x2

[ G  F# ] x2


G         E              C            D
Sid was a punk rock king Nancy was a broken queen
Their lives were so glamorous Sid and Nancy were a mess
When you're hooked on heroin don't you know you'll never win
Drugs don't ever pay you really did it your way


     G    B  C  D
   Love kills
   Love kills
   Love kills


We still believe in anarchy it makes me so damn angry
Sid and Nancy meant a lot to me you may be dead but your souls are free
Like Romeo and Juliet you two made a pact of death
Like the needle that ya used Sid and Nancy were born to lose

   Love kills...


[ G  E  C  D ]  x2

[ G  F# ] x2


Sid never meant any harm he shot some dope into his arm
All he wanted was some fun now she's lying in a pool of blood
Always loaded, always high why did you have to die?
I'll say one thing is it leaves me with a bitter taste

   Love kills...

   Love kills...

   Love kills...

He's go so many problems you can count them one by one
He's a filthy, stupid apeman he never has any fun
He lives in the jungle in a cave by a hill
Plays an old loud drum he's primitive, barely human


   A           G      A
   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop
   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop


Paint the face of a demon, glowing by the fire light
Hoppin' like an elephant thunderin' like me tonight
He's the world's worst recycler the iceman comes a lot
He's the devil's apprentice he's a prehistoric man

   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop...

At night he's gonna sacrifice his beloved apeman girl
Tie her to the alter, pull out her heart and eat her flesh

   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop...

   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop...


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A
What makes you think you're better than me
F#                        G
You think you can read her mind
         D
Maybe you're just looking for a good time
F#                     D
Maybe you can give her more
            A
Tell me what you're doing this for

   Don't tell me how to love my baby
   D                A
   She belongs to me


You come around looking for kicks
But I know all about your dirty tricks now
You think you took away my dream
Ain't gonna be easy 'cause I get real mean
Get out of here, get out of my life
You're gonna be sorry if we have to fight
Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry


   Don't tell me how to love...

   Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
   As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
   Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
   F
   Pick up the pieces


C            G                  F
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down
No no-no-no, I need something to slow me down
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down
C            G
No no-no-no, and I need something to slow me down


Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best
Fifty thousand dollar dress shaking hands with your highness
See through you like cellophane you watch the world complain, but you do it
anyway who am I, am I to say

   Bonzo goes to Bitburg and goes out for a cup of tea...

No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down...

If there's one thing that makes me sick
A                                 G
It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
D
I wish that time could go by fast
A                      G
Somehow they manage to make it last


D            A                  G
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down
No no-no-no, I need something to slow me down
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down
No no-no-no, and I need something to slow me down

You don't want to share with anyone else
You got all the money, you got all the wealth
You got all the buildings and the factories
You got all the power and the ceremonies


[ A  Bb  C ] x2


You wanna play a game of cat and mouse
With the President in the White House
This is a hungry world, there are months to feed
There are millionaires with more than they need

You can't change a turd into gold
Somehow we get all these creeps in control
It makes me throw up in the toilet bowl


[ A  Bb  C ] x2


You thieving whore, you hustle for bucks
You take the money and you shoot it up
That's the breaks, it's the chance you take
Get it together for your children's sake

My brain was pulsating, I was battered and sore
A            E       A      D
Nothing I tried would satisfy

   And I don't know where to start
   And I don't know where to begin, oh no

I can't throw it all away I need some courage to find my weakness

'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in
And I just need something to believe in
I'm looking for something to believe in
And I just need something to believe in
