DHow many times can you Bmjump out of the cupboard Before F#msomeone gets suspicious or Asomeone gets discovered
DYou can live forever in a Bmsplit second of fame F#mCome on down, the price is right, Awhats you name
While Gcrocodile makes Dgood shoes And a Gdog may changes his Dcoat
BmI can't change what's F#mwritten on your Bmface toF#mnight and I Emquote
*Chorus*
Oh I Bmwish you could F#msee BmQuite how F#mmuch you could Emmean to me
(Em F#m G A D)
You Gworthless thing (Em Em F#m G) If you were Dten feet taller and Galmost handsome
BmI might F#mpay this kings Emransom (Em F#m G A D) You Gworthless thing D Dsus2
*verse 2 - same* They commit blue murder along union avenue Then they sell you souvenir matches Nightclubs full of grave robbers from Memphis, Tennessee And Las Vegas body snatchers And he's carrying a warning Can't you see how his eyes glint Keep you bloody hands off my life Your affectionate fingerprint *same as first chorus except no D and Dsus2 on acoustic version* Oh I wish you could see Quite how much you could mean to me You worthless thing If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome I might pay this kings ransom You worthless thing
BmAll the cars and F#mpills and girls Who Gtore his shirt to F#mtatters
Do you Emknow how tall he was (Em F#m G) Cause that is Gall that really matters
Do you Bmknow his mother's F#mlast name Do you Gthink that he's F#mdivine
You've seen the Emfilm (Em F#m G) You've read the Gbook
(Em F#m G Em [F#m hold]) You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine *verse 3 - same* Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large They'll cut her down to size on television She's available and beautiful, but with more time to devote They're going to take this cable now And stick it down your throat So this is an obituary Which should be right and fitting For every clock work cat and Conceivable kitten * same as other chorus 2 with noted exceptions) Oh I wish you could see Quite how much you could mean to me You worthless thing If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome I might pay this kings ransom You worthless thing Full band fade on (Em F#m G A D) Acoustic
