Intro

C G F – – x4

Verse 1

C G F – – x6
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden, she lives for me, says she lives for me
Ovation, her own motivation, she comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile, like a drug for you, do ever what you wanna do, coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through, one stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse, chop another line like a coda with a curse
Come on like a freak show takes the stage, we give them the games we play, she said...

Chorus 1

C G F – – x4
I want something else to get me through this, semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo... (x2)

Verse 2

C G F – – x6
The sky was gold, it was rose, I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there, smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth, will lift you up until you break, it won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop, and then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again, I said...

Pre-Chorus 1

G – F – G – F – G – F – G – – –
How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you
How do I get myself back to the place where you said...

Chorus 2

C G F – – x4
I want something else to get me through this semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

Verse 3

C G F – – x4
I believe in the sand beneath my toes, the beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows, and the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die and that would be alright, alright

Bridge

G – F – G – F – G – F – C – – – x3
And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing, the velvet it rips in the city, we tripped on the urge to feel alive
Now I'm struggling to survive, those days you were wearing that velvet dress, you're the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties they pass the test, slide up around the belly, face down on the mattress one
And you hold me, and we're broken, still it's all that I wanna do, just a little now

C G F – – x2
Feel myself, heading off the ground, I'm scared, I'm not coming down, No, no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile, but nothing is alright, alright

Chorus 3

C G F – – x2
And I want something else to get me through this life, Baby, I want something else
Not listening when you say
F C/E Dm – x3
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
C G F – – x2
good-bye
C G F – – x2
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo... (x4)

Chorus 4

C G F – – x2
The sky was gold, it was rose (Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo...)
I was taking sips of it through my nose (Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo...)
And I wish I could get back there (Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo...)
Someplace back there, in the place we used to start (Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo...)

Ending

F C/E Dm –
