Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Sit tight,
I'm [C]go ing to need you to keep time
Come on, just snap, [D]snap,
[C]snap your fingers [Em]for me
Good, [C]good,
now we're making some pro[Dm]gress
Come on, [D]just tap, [C]tap,
tap your toes to [Em]the beat
And I be[C]lieve [D]this may call for a proper [C]introduction,
and [Em]well
Don't you [C]see? [D]I'm the narrator,
and this is [C]just the [Em]pro l[C]ogue[Em]
[C]Swe[D]ar to shake it up,
[Em]if you swear to listen
Oh, [C]we're still so young,
des[G]perate [D]for attention
[C]I aim to be [D]your eye[Em] s,
trophy boys, trophy wives
[D]Swear to shake it up,
[Em]if you swear to listen
Oh, we're [C]still so young,
desperate for at[D]tention
[C]I aim to be [D]you[B]r eye[F]s
[Dm][G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]This is the scent of dead skin
on a linoleum [C]floor
This is the scent of quarantine
wings in a [F]hospital
It's not so pleasant and it's
not so conventional
[Dm]It sure as [D]hell ain't normal but [G]we deal,
we deal
The [Am]anesthetic never set in and
I'm wondering [C]where
The apathy and urgency is [F]that I
[C]thought I phoned [F]in
No it's not so pleasant and
it's not so conventional
And [Dm]it sure as [D]hell ain't normal but [G]we deal,
we [C]deal
You're a regular decorated
emergency
You're a regular decorated
[D]emergency[Em][F]
Can't take the kid from the [Gm]fight,
[G]take the fight from [Am]the kid
Sit back, relax, sit back, relapse again
[F]Can't take the kid from the fig[G]ht,
take the fight from the [Dm]kid
Just sit [D]back, just [Dm]sit back
[F]Sit back, sit bac[Em]k, relax, relap[Dm]se
[D]Sit back, sit bac[C]k, woa[F]h
Can't take the [Gm]kid o[G]ut of the fight
[D]The [Dm]I.V.[F] and your hospital[C] bed[F]
This was no acci[C]dent
[F]This was a the[Dm]rapeutic chain of eve[G]nts
[Dm]Now [Gm]I'm

[Verse 3]
of [Cm]consenting [Gm]age
To be for[Dm]getting [C]you in a cabaret
[Gm]some[Cm]where[G]
[Gm]Downtown where a [C]burlesque [Gm]queen
[Dm]May even ask m[F]y [Gm]name[F]
[Gm]As she sheds her skin on stage
[C]I'm [Dm]seated and [C]sweating to a [Eb]dance song
On the [Cm]club's P.A
The [Gm]strip joint veteran sits
two [Dm]away
Smirking [C]between digni[F]fied
sips of his digni[Eb]fied
[Cm]Peach [C]and lim[Dm]e dai[F]qui[Eb]ri
[Gm]
And isn't [Bb]this exactly
[Eb]where you'd like me?
I'm ex[C]actly where you'd like me,
[Cm]you [Eb]know
Praying for [Dm]love [Bb]in a la[Cm]p dance
And [C]paying in naivety?
[Gm]Oh, isn't [Bb]this exactly
[Eb]where you'd like me?
I'm ex[C]actly where you'd like me,
[Cm]you [Eb]know
Praying for [Dm]love in a [D]lap [F#dim]dance,
[F#m][F#dim][D][F#dim][Gm]
[C]oh[Gm][C]
[Gm]But, but I'm afraid that I
Well, I may [Dm]have [D#]faked it
And [Gm]I wouldn't be caught dead
[Em]D- dead, d- dead,
d- dead [D#]in this place
Well, [Gm]I'm [C]afraid t[Bb]hat [C]I
That's [Dm]right
[D#]Well, [F]I may h[Dm]ave faked it
And [Gm]I wo[C]uldn't be ca[Bb]ught
[Dm]dead in th[C]is place[Dm]
[D](Swear to shake

[Verse 4]
[Em]it up,
you [Am]swear [C]to [Dm]listen
Swear to [Em]shake it up,
you [Am]swear to listen
Swear to [C]shake it up,
you swear [D]to listen[Dm][Em][C][Dm][Em]
[Am]Swea[C]r to shake it up[G], swear
[C]to shake [D]it [Em]up)
