[Eb]
[D] You know what song this is?
[Bm]
[D]
Sorry, it's not a Britney Spears song.
[Ab]
[Am] [Dm] This is, well, actually we could play a Britney Spears song if you like.
[Ab]
[A] [D]
[A] No, really, because that's what we practice in our spare time.
[D]
Oh, [Abm] come on [A] now.
[D]
No, actually, I like pop music.
I'm a big pop music fan, really.
Oh, there's some good stuff out there.
[Ab] Oh, really, come on.
Hey, I could have been a [G] pop star.
[D]
[Ab] Not!
[C]
[Gm] [D]
Oh, really, [G] I mean, can you imagine me being a pop star and everything?
I don't know.
Why would I want to be [N] a pop star when I can go like this?
[D]
[G]
[Am] [Gm]
[D] [N]
Hands up, steady, steady, steady, cheers.
I learned that from Britney.
[D] [Ab]
[D] Actually, I'll have to tell you, like I was saying, I actually like pop music occasionally.
I mean, take Jimi Hendrix, for instance.
[N]
I mean, he was like [A] half pop star, half freak.
[D] I only got the freak end of it.
Not like Billy, though.
And not like Dave, of course, whose hormones are just going crazy.
Poor guy's 20 years old and he's stuck in the Steve Vai band.
[A] Okay.
Can you imagine, though, like if Jimi Hendrix was here and he had [B] sort of a little [D]
conversation with Britney?
What do you think he'd say?
Maybe let's watch MTV from the bottom of the sea.
I think he would say something like,
[Dm] You won't kill me, [C] I don't care about [D] that.
You're loud and [N] a fool.
I like it like [D] that.
I only want to burn and desire.
[F] Let me stand next to you.
[D] I'm not that crazy.
Let me stand next [G] to you and fire you.
[D] Let me stand next to [Am] you and [C] fire you.
Oh, let [D] me stand next to you and [Em] fire you.
I'm not [D] that crazy.
[Em]
[D]
I'm not that crazy.
[Dm] You say you want me at [Am] home, but that's not concerned.
[D] Don't play with [A] me, man, you're gonna [D] burn.
I only want to itch and desire.
Let me [A] stand [Fm] next to you and fire [D]
[Em] [C] you.
[D]
[G] [D] Let me stand [C] next to you and fire you.
[D]
Let me stand [C] next to you and fire you.
Let me stand next to you and fire [D]
you.
Yeah, I move over, Rover.
[C] I'm ready to take over.

[Dm] [D] You better give me your money.
You better save it, baby.
Save it for [Am] your rainy day.
[D]
I only want to itch [Am] and desire.
[D] Let me stand next to you and fire you.
[C]
[D] Let [Am] [C]
[D] me [Am] stand next to you and [G] fire you.
Let [D] me stand next to you and fire you.
