Start Jamming...
Blinded with a chancer, [E] we [B] had oysters and dry lancers, and the [Bm] check when it arrived,
[C] We went Dutch, Dutch, Dutch, [G] Dutch, a redder shade of neck, [E] on a whiter [B] shade of trash,
And [Bm] this emery board [C] is giving me a [G] rash, I'm [E] flat [B] out.
[Bm] You're so beautiful to [C]
look at when you [G] cry, freeze, [E] don't [B] move.
[Bm] You've been chosen as [C] an extra in the movie adaptation of the sequel [D] to your [G] life.
A [Em] shady lane, everybody [C] wants [G] one, a [Em] shady lane, everybody [C] needs one.
Oh my god, [Am] oh my [G] god, oh [D] my god, oh my god, [C] oh my [A] god, oh your [D] god, oh his god, oh her [C] god,
It's everybody's [Am] god, it's everybody's [G] god, it's [D] everybody's god, it's everybody's [Em] god,
The worlds collide, [C] but all that we [D] want is a [A] shady [G] lane.
[E] [B]
[Bm] [C] [G]
Glam, [E] don't [B] stare, soon you're [Bm] being told [C] to recognize your [G] airs,
No, [E] not me, [B] I'm [Bm] an island of [C] such great [G] complexity,
Stress [E] surrounds in [B] the [Bm] muddy peaceful [C] center of this [G] town,
Tell [E] me off [Bm] in the hotel lobby, [C] right in front of all the bellboys,
And the over-friended [D] [G] concierge.
A shady lane, everybody [C] wants [G] one, a [Em] shady lane, [G]
everybody [C] needs one.
Oh my [A] god, oh my [G] god, oh my god, oh my [A] god, oh my [A] god, oh your [D] god, oh his god, oh her [C] god,
It's everybody's [A] god, it's everybody's [G] god, it's [D] everybody's god, it's everybody's [Em] god,
The worlds collide, [C] but all that I [D] want is a [A] shady lane.
