[G] [D] [F#]
[G] It [A] [D] was quite early one [G] morning, hit me without warning, [D] I went to hear the General [G] speak.
[D] I was [A] standing for the [G] anthem, banners all [D] around [F#m] him, confetti made it [G] hard to see.
Put [D] my footsteps on the [G] pavement, start for [D] entertainment, for seasons of [G] revolving door.
[A] So sick of being honest, [G] I'll die like Phyllis Thomas, [F#] a seizure on the [G] ballroom floor.
I'm [D] getting greedy with [A] this private [G] hell.
I'm good [D] at it alone, but [A] that's just [G] as well.
[D] These cats are scared of bells, [G] black pins on [D] the lapels, the truth is [G] anybody's guess.
[D] He's [A] talking as he's [G] saying the king is only playing [F#] a game of four [G]-dimensional chess.

[G] These [D] flowers in the rubble weeds are gonna tumble, I'm lucid but I still can't [G] think.
[A] I'm strapped into a [G] corset, climbed into your [F#] corvette, I'm thirsty for [G] another drink.
[D] If it's advertised, I'll try [G] it, buy some peace and [D] quiet, shut up at the silent [G] retreat.
[A] They say you've gotta [D] take [G] it at least until you make [F#] it, that ghost is just [D] a kid [G] in a sheet.
[D] I'm getting used to [A] these dancing [G]
spells, I'm taking [D] a shower,
[A] bathes in [G] Motel.
I'm [D] getting greedy with [A] this private [G] hell.
[Am] I'm [D] going alone, but that's just [G] as well.
