(verse 1)
D A G C
I'm a broke down wreck with a ball and chain
D A G C
Just sitting in the kitchen with my fortune and fame
D A G C
There's a monkey in a mask and he's calling my name
F C
There's a midget on his back,
G D A
Hes waiting for the midnight train
A, Em, G, D (2x)
D C A
Cause were pulling up stakes
F G
Gotta load up the car
D C A
Get my right beat back
F G
Do some air guitar
F C
Cause Im running from the air-jets
G D
Inside of my head
F
On my bed
C G
With a leg full of lead
F
We're trading gold for bread
(same as verse 1)
Well the militarized mistress yeah you sink like a stone
Well I'm out here on the sidewalk where the buffalo roam
I can see it in your crystal dancing in like a storm
Blowing dusty through the kitchen
While you're standing in your high heels in your hall
A, Em, G, D (2X)
D C A
Cause were pulling up stakes
F G
Gotta load up the car
D C A
Get my right beat back
F G
Do some air guitar
F C
Cause Im running from the air-jets
G D
Inside of my head
F
On my bed
C G
With a leg full of lead
F
We're trading gold for bread
(Same as verse 1)
Yeah there's this choice you gotta make and itll cut to the coil
Like a preacher throwing dice instead of seeds on the soil
There's a lady and her lover and the'yre covered in oil
Slipping down through the cracks
With the attack and a face full of foil
A, Em, G, D (2x)
D C A
Cause were pulling up stakes
F G
Gotta load up the car
D C A
Get my right beat back
F G
Do some air guitar
F C
Cause Im running from the air-jets
G D
Inside of my head
F
On my bed
C G
With a leg full of lead
F
We're trading gold for bread
