[C] [G] [E]
I [C] [D] [E]
[C] [D] [E]
[C] [E]
[C] [E] [G] wish I was the man of ease alone I'd tear the guys [C]
apart
[F] Then [C] scatter the [G] pieces
I wish I was the man in the soundproof booth
I wish I had a chance to stump the man but maybe tell [F] the truth
[C] And maybe I could win a [E] color tell of me
[A]
[G] [F#m] [A] My love is still mine
[F#m] Tell [A] of me
[B] [F#m] [F] [E] Deep in the streets [C] of my area
[D] [G] I wish I had the bouncy hair
We'd ride on in a little car
Or fly a plane [C]
somewhere
[F] [C] Like probably [G] Jamaica
I'd rest my piece and leave my hair and she my face
I'd sign the necessary aerosol and key appropriate [F]
place
[C] [F] And we'll spend the [C] night together [E] watching tell of me
[A]
[F#m] Tell of me [F] darling
Don't [A] really know why
[F#m] [A] I understand why
[F#m] Tell of me [F] darling
You [E] got your works in a drawer
[C] And your colors [D] on track
You [E] have to fade away
[Cm] But you always [D] come back
You [E] make a hundred changes
[C] But you're always [D] the same
You [E] make me so excited
[C] And you make me [D] so lame
You're [E] just a cube full of gas
[C] And a box full [D] of tin
[E] But you show me a charm
[C] That I want it [D] for me
[E] Only fool your chassis
[C] With fur [E] and skin
Just give me a name
[A] I really don't know why
[F#m] Tell of me [A] darling
My love is still mine
Tell of me darling
Tell of me
Tell of me darling
I can't get off my
Tell [F#m] of me [A] darling
Don't really know why
[F#m] Tell of me [A] darling
I understand why
Tell of me darling
I can't get off my
Tell [F#m] of me darling
