[Intro 1]
[D][Bb][E][G][Gm][D][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
'Cause [G]I l[D]ost
my [G]job two weeks before Christmas
[D]And[G] I talked[D] to Jesus at The Se[G]wer
And the Pope said it was none of his
God-damned [D]business
[G]business
While the [D]rain drank [G]champagne
My Estonian Archangel came
and got [D]me [G]wasted
'Cause the [D]sweetest kiss I ever [G]got is
the one I've never [D]tasted[G]
Oh, but they'll [D]take their bo[G]nus
[F#m]pay to Molly Mc[D]Donald
[A]Neo[D]n ladies[G], beauty is that which obeys,
[F#m]is bought or borrow[G]ed[A]

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]'Cause my [D]heart's become a
crooked [G]hotel full of ru[D]mors[G]
But it's [D]I who pays the r[G]ent for
these fingered-face out-of-tuners
And [D]And An[G]d And I make s[D]ixteen solid half
hour [G]friendships every [D]evening[G]
'Cause your [D]queen of hearts
who's half a stone
And likes to laugh [G]alone is always
threatening you with [D]leaving[G]
Oh, but they [D]play those [G]token games
[F#m]on Willy Thomps[A]on[G][D]
And give a medal to replace [G]the son[F#m]
of Mrs. Annie [G]John[A]son[D][G]
'Cause [D]they told me everybody's
gotta pay [G]their dues
And I explained that I had overpaid [D]them[G]
[D]So overdued I went to the
company [G]store
And the clerk there said that they
had [D]just been [G]invaded
So I [D]set sail in [G]a teardrop and escaped
beneath the [D]doorsill[G]
'Cause the [D]smell of her [G]perfume [D]echoes
[G]in my hea[D]d still

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
'Cause [G]I s[D]ee my people
trying to drown [G]the sun
In weekends of whiskey [D]sours[G]
'Cause how [D]many times can you
wake up in this comic [G]book
And [D]plant flowers?
