Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

A augmentedA D7D7 A augmentedA E7E7 D7D7 A augmentedA E7E7


[Verse 1]

 A augmentedA
You sittin here and yakkin- right in my face
                        G+G D MajorD
You comin' on exactly like you own the place
       D7D7                    A augmentedA    G+G D MajorD
You know if silence was golden - You couldn't raise a dime
       E7E7              D7D7        A augmentedA     E7E7
Because your mind is on vacation - and your mouth is workin' overtime

[Verse 2]

 A augmentedA
You quotin' figures - and droppin' names
 A augmentedA                    G+G D MajorD
You tellin' stories - and playing games
 A augmentedA
You're overlaughin' - when things ain't funny
                A7A7     G+G D MajorD
You tryin' to sound like the big big money
       D7D7                    A augmentedA
You know if talk was criminal - You'd lead a life of crime
       E7E7              D7D7         A augmentedA   E7E7
Because your mind is on vacation- and your mouth is workin' overtime


[Break]

A augmentedA A7A7 D7D7 A augmentedA E7E7 D7D7 A augmentedA E7E7


[Verse 3]

 A augmentedA
You know that life is short - Talk is cheap
 A augmentedA                       G+G D MajorD
Don't be makin' promises that you can't keep
 A augmentedA
You don't like this little song I'm singin' - Just grin and bear it
 A augmentedA            A7A7         G+G D MajorD
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
    D7D7                    A augmentedA
If you must keep talkin - Please try to make it rhyme
       E7E7              D7D7        A augmentedA AbAb G+G Gb7Gb7
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
       B7B7              E7E7        A augmentedA A7A7
