Teddy Thompson - A Piece Of What You Need
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
Is this what we really want
Am
Background music from a restaurant?
D C C7 F
Spare me, it's doing in my head
Drop-dead gorgeous teen
Am
Singing pages from her diary
D C C7 G
So bad, you'd kick her out of bed
[Chorus]
F
Break down the stupid wall
Stop doing what you're told
C G
And don't believe a thing you see
F
Red light, drop that ball
Stop getting everything you want
C G F
And get a piece of what you need
[Verse 2]
Life on the happy pills
Am
Counts on Pfizer to erase our ills
D C C7 F
It's working, I'm feeling pretty blank
So sing, sing, soulless boy
Am
Give us more of your simple joy
D C C7 G
It's soothing, money in the bank
[Chorus]
F
Break down the stupid wall
Stop doing what you're told
C G
And don't believe a thing you see
F
Red light, drop that ball
Stop getting everything you want
C G D
And get a piece of what you need
[Bridge]
Oh, say can't you see
C
We're kinda, sorta living free
Eb D
Staring into space
Eb D
Bye, bye human race
[Instrumental]
F Am D C F Am D C G
[Chorus]
F
Break down the stupid wall
Stop doing what we're told
C G
And don't believe a thing you see
F
Red light, drop that ball
Stop getting everything we want
C G
And get a piece of what you need
[Outro] (repeat and fade)
