Chords with lyrics
E minorEm
My old man is a bad man but
I can't deny the way he holds my hand
A minorAm E minorEm
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
A minorAm
He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me
E minorEm
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
(E minorEm)
Swimming pool glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
A minorAm
Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples
E minorEm
You sit sippin' on your black Cristal, yeah
(E minorEm)
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
A minorAm
Light of my life, fire of my loins
E minorEm
Give me them gold coins, gimme them coins
(E minorEm)
And I'm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
A minorAm
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
D MajorD
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
C majorC
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
E minorEm
Ready for you
(E minorEm)
My old man is a tough man but
He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
A minorAm
And he shows me, he knows me
E minorEm
Every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
A minorAm
In fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me
E minorEm
Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone
(E minorEm)
Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont
Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup
A minorAm E minorEm
Glass room perfume Cognac lilac fume
Says it feels like heaven to him
(E minorEm)
Light of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you own me
A minorAm
Light of your life, fire of your loins
E minorEm
Tell me you own me, gimme them coins
(E minorEm)
And I'm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
A minorAm
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
D MajorD
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
C majorC
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
E minorEm
Now I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down
A minorAm
I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement
Love you but I'm going down
D MajorD
God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
C majorC
I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
E minorEm
Sorry 'bout it
A minorAm E minorEm
My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end
D MajorD A minorAm
But I trust in the decision of the lord to watch over us
Take him when he may, if he may
E minorEm D MajorD
I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
A minorAm
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you
E minorEm D MajorD
They would rue the day I was alone without you
A minorAm
You're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips
E minorEm D MajorD
I said "Hon' you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man."
E minorEm
And we're off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in
A minorAm
to Las Vegas pay us, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin
D MajorD
Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe
C majorC Em, Am, D MajorD
You are my one true love, you are my one true love
C majorC
You are my one true love
