Intro: A - G - D - A


Verse 1 chords:
A                       G
  I survived the dinner   and the air went thinner
D                  A
  I retired to the briars by the pool, it gets so loud
A                       G
  If I die this instant,   taken from a distance
D                             A
  They would probably list it down, among other things 'round town


Chorus 1 chords:
G               D                             A
  Got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me
A
  I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down
G                         D                             A
  In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace
A
  The surprise of the week, is that I never heard the sound


Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
All the L.A. women, fall asleep while swimmin'
I got paid to fish 'em out and then one day I lost the job
And I cried a little, I got fried a little
Then she laid her eyes on mine, and she said, "Babe, you're better off"

Bridge 1 chords:
Am       G      D         A

  Lead a little life today

As the free-fall advances, I'm the moron who dances, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
A                 G                        D                     A
I was teething on roses, I was in guns and noses, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
          Am                    G        A
Under the withering white skies of humiliation
          Am                    G        A
Under the withering white skies of humiliation

She wore blue velvet, said she can't help it
         D    G                D     G
She wore blue velvet, said she can't help it
         D    G                D     G
