The rest of my life [F] is so hard.
I need a photo [G] opportunity.
I [F] want a shot of redemption.
Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard.
Bone-dead, bone [Bb]-dead, [F] dogs in the moonlight.
Far away, [Bb] my well-lit door.
[F] Just look here, well and [C] here, [Bb] well and get these [C] mutts away from me, you know.
[Dm] I don't find this stuff on music [Gm] anymore.

A man walks down the [C] street, he says, why am I short of attention?
Got a [F] short little span of [C] attention.
[F] And, oh, my nights are so long.
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role model?
Now that my role model is gone, _ gone, he ducked back down the alley with some
of the roly poly little bat face girls.
All [C] along, along, [Gm] there were [C] incidents and accidents.
[Bb] There were hints and allegations.
_ _ [C] _
[F] If you [C] be my [Bb] bodyguard, [F] I can [Am] be your [F] long lost [C] pal.

_ walks down the street.
[Gm] It's a [F] street in a strange world.
Maybe it's the third [C] round.
Maybe it's his first [F] time around.
Doesn't speak the [C] language.
[F] Holds no [Am] currency.
He [F] is a foreign man.
[Gm] [F] He is surrounded by the sound of the [C] sound.
Cattle in the marketplace.
_ Scatterlings and orphanages.
[F] _ He looks around and around.
He sees angels in the [Bb] architecture spinning in infinity.
He says, [Dm] hey, if you be [C] my [Bb] bodyguard, [F] I [C] can be your [F] long lost [C] pal.
[Bb] _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [F]
I [C] can call you [Bb] Betty.
