[Verse 1]
 G -            I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
 D -            she's living, she's golden
 Cadd9 -        She lives for me,
 Cadd9 -        says she lives for me

 G -            Ovation,
 D -            her own motivation
 Cadd9 -        She comes round and
 Cadd9 -        she goes down on me

 G -            And I make her smile,
 D -            like a drug for you
 Cadd9 -        Do ever what you wanna do,
 Cadd9 -        coming over you

 G -            Keep on smiling,
 D -            what we go through
 Cadd9 -        One stop to the
 Cadd9 -        rhythm that divides you

 G -            And I speak to you
 D -            like the chorus to the verse
 Cadd9 -        Chop another line
 Cadd9 -        like a coda with a curse

 G -            Come on like a
 D -            freak show takes the stage
 Cadd9 -        We give them the games we play,
 Cadd9 -        she said...

[Chorus]
 G -            I want
 D -            something
 Cadd9 -        else
 Cadd9 -        to get me through this

 G -            ..
 D -            Semicharmed kinda
 Cadd9 -        life,
 Cadd9 -        baby, baby

 G -            I want
 D -            something
 Cadd9 -        else,
 Cadd9 -        I'm not listening

 G -            when you say
 D -            good
 Cadd9 -        bye
 Cadd9 -        ..

[Interlude]

 Cadd9 -        Doo doo doo
 Cadd9 -        ..

[Verse]
 G -            The sky it was gold, it was rose
 D -            I was taking sips of it through my nose
 Cadd9 -        And I wish I could get back there,
 Cadd9 -        some place back there

 G -            Smiling in the
 D -            pictures you would take
 Cadd9 -        Doing crystal meth,
 Cadd9 -        will lift you up until you break

 G -            It won't stop,
 D -            I won't come down I keep stock
 Cadd9 -        with a ticktock rhythm,
 Cadd9 -        a bump for the drop

 G -            And then I bumped up,
 D -            I took the hit that I was given
 Cadd9 -        Then I bumped again,
 Cadd9 -        then I bumped again, I said

[Pre-Chorus]
 D -            How do I get
 Cadd9 -        back there to
 D -            the place where I fell
 Cadd9 -        asleep inside you

 D -            How do I get
 Cadd9 -        myself back to
 G              the place where
 G              you said...

[Chorus]
 G -            I want
 D -            something
 Cadd9 -        else
 Cadd9 -        to get me through this

 G -            ..
 D -            Semicharmed kinda
 Cadd9 -        life,
 Cadd9 -        baby, baby

 G -            I want
 D -            something
 Cadd9 -        else,
 Cadd9 -        I'm not listening

 G -            when you say
 D -            good
 Cadd9 -        bye
 Cadd9 -        ..

[Verse]
 G -            I believe in the sand
 D -            beneath my toes
 Cadd9 -        The beach gives a feeling,
 Cadd9 -        an earthy feeling

 G -            I believe
 D -            in the faith
 Cadd9 -        that grows
 Cadd9 -        And the four right chords

 G -            can make me cry
 D -            ..
 Cadd9 -        When I'm with you
 Cadd9 -        I feel like I could die

 G -            And that would be
 D -            alright,
 Cadd9 -        alright
 Cadd9 -        ..

[Pre-Chorus]
 D -            And when the plane came in,
 Cadd9 -        she said she was crashing
 D -            The velvet
 Cadd9 -        it rips in the city,

 D -            we tripped on the urge
 Cadd9 -        to feel alive
 G              But now I'm struggling
 G              to survive,

[Pre-Chorus]
 D -            Those days you were wearing
 Cadd9 -        that velvet dress
 D -            You're the priestess,
 Cadd9 -        I must confess

 D -            Those little red panties
 Cadd9 -        they pass the test
 G              Slide up around the belly,
 G              face down on the mattress

[Pre-Chorus]
 D -            One
 Cadd9 -        ..
 D -            And you hold me,
 Cadd9 -        ..

 D -            and we are broken
 Cadd9 -        ..
 G              Still it's all that I wanna do,
 G              just a little now

[Verse]
 G -            Feel myself,
 D -            heading off the ground
 Cadd9 -        I'm scared,
 Cadd9 -        I'm not coming down

 G -            ..
 D -            ..
 Cadd9 -        No, no
 Cadd9 -        And I won't run

 G -            for my life
 D -            ..
 Cadd9 -        She's got her jaws
 Cadd9 -        now locked down

 G -            in a smile
 D -            But nothing is alright,
 Cadd9 -        alright
 Cadd9 -        ..

[Chorus]
 G -            And I want
 D -            something
 Cadd9 -        else
 Cadd9 -        to get me

 G -            through
 D -            this
 Cadd9 -        life
 Cadd9 -        Baby,

 G -            I want
 D -            something
 Cadd9 -        else
 Cadd9 -        Not listening

 G -            when you
