[Intro]
G G
[Verse 1]
G G
I wanna live in a better part of town
G G
Over the park in a bed of garlands
G G
With an ivory banister I can slide down
G G
And a man outside that I call Simon
[Chorus 1]
Am D C C
I wanna fall asleep in a cashmere nightgown
D G
When the ship goes down
[Verse 2]
G G
I wanna live in a better part of town
G G
Where I don't have to hide my diamonds
G G
The bourgeoisie are bubbling around
G G
But they can't touch my sweet asylum
[Chorus 2]
Am D C C
They'll put me on the first life boat out
D C C
When the ship goes down
D G G
When the ship goes down
[Bridge]
G D C
We deserve a chauffeur in our car
G D C
Black truffle loaded with caviar
G D C
White gloves to open up every door
G D C
Life is short, let's get what we came for
G D C
La La La, I want more
G D C
La La, and I'll get what I came for
G D Am
La La La, I want more
[Chorus 3]
Am D
I wanna get high and never come down
Am D
Mountains of white and music so loud
C D C
I wanna die with jewels in my crown
D C
When the ship goes down
D Em
When the ship goes down
D G
When the ship goes down
[Outro]
