[A] [D] [G] [A] [G]
[A] [D] [C] [F] [C] Well, [G] you went riding in your limousine,
but you find parking close.
You had a [E] herring [Bm] on in your hand and [C] spoon up your [F] nose.
[C]
[E] Up in the [G] morning with your head on fire,
and [Em] your eyes too bloody to [G] see.
On [E] a ride, [D] you called it dawn, [C] come fetching [F] me.

[G] Oh, but now [Em] you just don't remember all [G] the things you
said and you're [Bm] not sure that [Em] you want to [G] know.
I could [Bm] be the one hitting foot in your shawl

But when the beat [F] around, you had to have [C] a big move tonight.
You had [G] to be a [D] big shot.
[F] [C] [G]
[D] [F] No [C] [G] big
[D] [G] steps, think it too sad thing.
You know when to leave it alone.
But [E] you went over the line.
You [Bm] couldn't see it [C] was out.

[D] [F] [C] [G] Big [D] [F] [F] shot, [C] [C] [F]
[G] [Dm] big [D] shot.
[G] [D] [G] [D]
