How many A&R men does it take to change a light bulb?
C G G7
I'll get back to you on that
Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F
How many spells and dollars does it take to make the magic

of pulling legends from a hat
Am Em
Will they take another sucker for an undersell

Am Em
You fit the mold for stardom and the big bells chime
G G7
But it's gold leaf on a wild, wild, wind
Am Em
And they're serving up your future with a twist of lime
Am Em
Paying you in dollars for the perfect crime
Am Em
And you're scratching off the silver for a nail of grime
Am G G7
And pissing in the bitter wind
Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F C
Last month's colour you're passed your sell by date
G G7
And your days are numbered
What is you shelf life?
Simple song, lots of chord changes (J wrote this one). Listen to the track
