Verse 1
A A/G# F#m
I'm told the eventual downfall is just a bill from the restaurant.
D A
You told me I could order the moon, babe, just as long as I shoot what I want.

Where the hell have the '70s brought me? You trade me away long gone.

The time that your enemy gives you, good times are not the ones you want.
D A
I cried five rivers on the way here, which one will you skate away on?

The tune you'll be humming forever, all the words are replaced and wrong,
D A
with a shower of yeahs and whatevers, you trade me away long gone.
Chorus 2
A D E D E
For the love of a god, you say, not a letter from an occupant.
A A/G# F#m D
"ooo-weee-ooo-eeeoooo-oooweeeooo-weeeeoooo-oooo" (x2)
