A Ab/C#
On nights like this
F#m7 Gmaj7 D
When the world's a bit amiss
E
And the lights go down
A E E7
Across the trailer park
A
I get down
Ab/C#
I feel had
F#m7 Gmaj7 D
I feel on the verge of going mad
E A
And then it's time to punch the clock
A E
I put on some make-up
F#m C#m
And turn up the tape deck
D A E F#7
And pull the wig down on my head
Bm E
Suddenly i'm miss midwest
A Ab/C# Gmaj7
midnight checkout queen
A D
Until i head home
E A G D
And put myself to bed
A Ab/C#
I look back on where i'm from
F#m7 G D
Look at the woman i've become
E
And the strangest things
A E
Seem suddenly routine
A Ab/C#
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
F#m G D
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box
E A
Of towering velveteen
A E
I put on some make-up
F#m C#m
And some lavern baker
D A E F#7
And pull the wig down from the shelf
Bm E A Ab/C# Gmaj7
Suddenly i'm miss beehive nineteen sixty-three
A D
Until i wake up
E A G D
And turn back to myself
A Ab/C#
Some girls they got a natural ease
F#m Gmaj7 D
They wear it any way they please
E
With their french flip curls
A E
And perfumed magazines
A
Wear it up
Ab/C#
Let it down
F#m Gmaj7 D
This is the best way that i've found
E A
To be the best you've ever seen
A E
I put on some make-up

And turn up the eight-track

I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
