Chords for The Tango Maureen - RENT: Motion Picture Cast (Lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Abm] _ _ The [E] cymbals won't [Ab] delay, but the cable_
There's another way.
Say [Abm] something.
Anything.
Just one, [Db] two, _ [Abm]
three_
[Db] Anything but [Ab] that.
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Dbm] It's just [Ab] weird.
It's weird.
Very weird.
Fucking weird.
I'm [Dbm] so mad that I [Ab] don't know what to do.
_ Fighting with microphones, freezing down to my bones, and to top it all, [Dbm] I'm with you.
[Ab] Feel like going insane, got a fire in your brain, and you're thinking of drinking gasoline. _
As a matter _ of fact_
Honey, I know this act.
It's called the tango _ maureen.
[Db] The [Bbm] tango _ [Db] _ _
maureen.
[A] It's a dark, dizzy [Db] merry-go-round.
[Ab] As she keeps you dangling_ _ _
You're wrong.
[Db] Your heart, she is mangling_
It's different than me.
[Gb] And you toss and you turn, [Gbm] cause her cold eyes can burn, [Db] yet you yearn and you turn [Bb] and rebound.
I [Ab] think I know what you _ mean.
The [Dbm] _ tango _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] maureen.
[Gb] Has she ever [Gbm] pouted her lips and called [Db] you_
_ Pookie.
Never.
[Gb] Have you ever shouted [Gbm] a kiss or two?
This is [Ab] _ spooky. _ _ _
[Gb] Did you swoon when she walked [Gbm] through the door?
Every time, so [Db] be_ [Gbm] Cautious.
_ [Db] _
[Gb] Pookie, moon over other [Gbm] boys.
More than moon.
I'm _ [Ab] getting_
Nauseous. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ Where'd you learn to tango?
With the French ambassador's daughter in her dorm [Db] room at Miss [Ab] Porter's.
[Eb] And you?
_ With Nanette Himmelfarb, the rabbi's daughter at the Scarsdale Jewish Community Center. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's hard to do this backwards.
_ [Ab] You should try it in [E] heels.
_ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ebm] She cheated.
She cheated.
Maureen cheated.
Pookie cheated.
I'm defeated, I should give [Bb] up _ right_
Gotta look on the bright side with all [Fm] of your might.
[Bb] I fall _
_ [Ebm] _ _ for_
When you're dancing her dance, you don't stand a chance.
Her grip of romance [Bb] makes you fall.
So you think, might as well_
Dance a tango to hell.
At least I'll have_
[Ebm] Tangoed at all.
_ The tango [Eb] lord.
_ [F] _ [B] Maureen.
Gotta dance till your [Eb] diva is through.
[Bb] You pretend to believe _ her.
Cause [Eb] in the end you can't leave her.
_ [Ab] But the end it will come.
[Abm] Still you have to play dumb.
[Eb] Till you're dumb and you bum and [Ab] turn blue.
What [Bb] do you love when she's mean?
_ When [B] she can be so _ obscene.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ My [Ebm] Maureen.
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The tango. _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] Maureen. _ _ _ _ _
