Intro: G/D/C
(Repeat chords for verse 1)
Verse 1:
I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling she's living she's golden and
she lives for me She says she lives for me
Ovation She's got her own motivation
she comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile It's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling
what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play she said
Chorus:
G/D/C (repeat for chorus)
I want something else to get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Good-bye
Verse 2:
G/D/C (repeat for whole verse)
The sky it was gold it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth
Will lift you up until you break
It won't stop
I won't come down I keep stock
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up I took the hit I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
Bridge
D C
How do I get back there to
D C
The place where I fell asleep inside you
D C
How do I get myself back to
D
The place where you said
Chorus:
G/D/C (Repeat)
I want something else to get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Good-bye
Verse 3:
G/D/C (Repeat, yet again, for the whole verse)
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right All right
D
When the plane came in
C
She said she was crashing
D C
The velvet it rips
C D
In the city we tripped
D C
On the urge to feel alive
G
And now I'm struggling to survive those
D
Days you were wearing
C
That velvet dress
D
You're the priestess
C
must confess
D
Those little red panties
C
They pass the test
G (palm mute)
Slide up around the belly
Face down on the mattress
G (picked)
One Now you hold me And we're broken
G (Back to original)
Still it's all that I want to do
Verse 4:
G/D/C (Repeat for the whole verse)
Feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared but I'm not coming down
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
but nothing is all right
Chorus:
G/D/C
All right I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
good-bye good bye
G/D/C (Repeat until end)
