CWhile NatG/B King Cole sF/Aings "WelC/Gcome To My World"
FYou request some C/Esong you hate you Dmsentimental Efool
And Emit's the force of Amhabit
If it Emmoves then you fuck it
If it Amdoesn't move you stab it
And I Cthought I G/Bheard "F/A;The Working MC/Gan's Blues"
FHe went out to C/Ework that night and Dmwasted his E7breath
EmOutside there was a Ampublic execution
EmInside he died a thouAmsand deaths
And they Cpulled him G/Bout of the F/Acold cold C/Gground
And they Cpulled him G/Bout of the F/Acold cold C/Gground
And they Cpulled him G/Bout of the C/Bbcold cold F/Aground
C/G G C G/B F/A C/G F C/E Dm C
And they put him in a suit of lights
In the CperfoG/Brated F/Afirst C/Geditions
Where they FadvoC/Ecate the Dmhangman's Enoose
Then Emtell the sorry tale of the Amspent Princess
Her Emuncouth escort looAmking down her dress
CAnyway theyG/B say thatF/A she wears theC/G trousers
And Flearnt everyC/Ething that she Dmdoes
And E7doesn't know if Cshe G/Bshould C/Bbtell him FyesC/E
Or F/Eblet him Gsusgo Gsus G
And they Cpulled him G/Bout of the F/Acold cold C/Gground
And they Cpulled him G/Bout of the F/Acold cold C/Gground
And they Cpulled him G/Bout of the C/Bbcold cold F/Aground
C/GAnd they put him in a Gsuit of liCghts
Well it's a Gdog's life in a FroC/Epe lG/DeashC or a Gdiamond collarG
It's Genough to make you Fthink C/Eright G/Dnow C
But Fyou don't botherF
For Cgoodness G/Bsake as you F/Acry and C/Gshake
Let's Fkeep you C/Eface down Dmin the dirt where E7you belong
And CthinkG/B of C/Bball the FpleaC/Esure F/Ebthat it Gsus4brings
Though you Gsus4know that it's Gwrong
And Gthere's still life in your FboC/Edy
G/DBut Cmost Gof it's leavingG
GCan't you give us FallC/E a bG/DreakC
Can't Fyou stop breathingF
And I Cthought I G/Bheard "F/A;The Working MC/Gan's Blues"
FI went to C/Ework last night and Dmwasted my Ebreath
EmOutside they're painting Amtar on somebody
EmIt's the closest Amto a work of art that they will Gsus4ever bGe
And they Cpulled G/Bhim out of the F/Acold cold C/Gground
And they Cpulled G/Bhim out of the F/Acold cold C/Gground
