Intro: G
 
G Well let me tell you something let me tell you so
 This could be the one thing that you really need to know 
C You got to stop once in a while
G And shake off that face of yours
EmBm Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
EmBmD You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me oh sister
G Well I cannot claim this advice as my own
 I learned it in the gutter one night coming home 
CG She said "Don't you look ridiculous" I checked her out meticulously
EmBm I would've stopped to argue but my teeth were broke
EmBmD I said "I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke oh sister"
G She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
 The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf 
C And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
CG Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on
G Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she
 And maybe this is just the way it has to be 
CG It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
EmBm And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
EmBmD I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all oh sister
G She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
 The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf 
C And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
CG Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on
G She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
 The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf 
C And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
CG Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on
D I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
