[Verse 1]
[Dm]Ha! Who took the money?
Who took the money a[Dm]way?
[C]
[Dm]Ha ha ha ha it's always showtime
Here at the edge of the [Dm]stage
[C]
And [Dm]I, I, I, wake up and wonder
What was the place, [Dm]what was the name?
[C]
[Dm]We wanna wait but here we go
a[Dm]gain[C]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Ha! Takes over slowly
But doesn't last very [Dm]long
[C]
[Dm]Ha ha ha ha no need to worry
Everything's under con[Dm]trol
[C]
[Dm]O U T! But no hard feelings
What do you know?
[Dm]Take you [C]away
[Dm]We're being taken for a ride
a[Dm]gain[C]

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]I got a girlfrie[C]nd that'[Dm]s better than that
[C]She[Dm] has the smoke in her eyes
[Dm][G][C]
[Dm]She's coming up,
[C]going [Dm]right through my heart
[C]She[Dm]'s gonna give me surprise
[Dm][G][C]
[Dm]I think it's right[C],[Dm]
better than [C]this[Dm]
I think you can if you like
[Dm][G][C]
[Dm]I got a girlfrie[C]nd with [Dm]bows in her hair
[C]And[Dm] nothing is better than that
[Dm](is [G]it?)[C]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Oh! Down in the basement
We hear the sound of ma[Dm]chines
[C]
[Dm]Ha- ha-ha-ha ha! Driving in circles
Come to my senses some[Dm]times
[C]
[Dm]Why, why, why, why start it over?
Nothing was lost,
[Dm]everything's [C]free
[Dm]I don't care how impossible
it [Dm]seems[C]

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]Somebody calls you b[C]ut y[Dm]ou cannot hear
[C]Get[Dm] closer to be far away
[Dm][G][C]
[Dm]Only one look and [C]that's [Dm]all that it takes
[C]May[Dm]be that's all that we need
[Dm][G][C]
[Dm]All that it take[C]s,[Dm]
I'll bet it's [C]right[Dm]
All it takes, if it's right
[Dm][G][C]
[Dm]I got a girlfrie[C]nd that'[Dm]s better than that
[C]And[Dm] she goes wherever she likes
[Dm](the[G]re she goes)[C]

[Chorus 3]
[Dm]I got a girlfrie[C]nd that'[Dm]s better than that
[C]And now[Dm] everyone's getting involved
[Dm][G][C]
[Dm]She's moving up goin[C]g
[Dm]right through my heart
[C]We [Dm]might not ever get caught
[Dm][G][C]
[Dm]Going right thro[C]ugh[Dm]
Try to stay [C]cool[Dm]
Going through, staying cool

[Dm][G][C]

[Chorus 4]
