Verse 1:

A#mA#m         D#mD#m
So don’t give me respect
        C#C#          G#G#
Don’t give me a piece of your preciousness
A#mA#m             D#mD#m
Flaunt all she’s got in our old neighborhood
  C#C#           G#G#
I’m sure she’ll make a few friends
A#mA#m        G#G#
Even the rain bows down let us pray
  F minorFm           G#G#
As you cock-cock-cock your mane
A#mA#m       D#mD#m
No cigarettes, only
       G#G#   F minorFm
peeled Havanas  for you

Chorus:

     A#mA#m
I can be cruel
C#C#       F#F#
  I don’t know why
G#G#       A#mA#m     C#C#
  Why can’t my balloon stay up
   F#F#       G#G#
In a perfectly windy sky?
     A#mA#m
I can be cruel
C#C#       F#F#
  I don’t know why
F minorFm       A#mA#m
  I don’t know why


Verse 2:

A#mA#m
Dance with the Sufis
D#mD#m        F minorFm
Celebrate your top ten
         G#G#
in the charts of pain
A#mA#m       D#mD#m
Lover brother Bougainvillea
  F minorFm           G#G#
My vine twists around your need
A#mA#m        D#mD#m
Even the rain is sharp like today
  C#C#         G#G#
As you sh-sh-shock me sane
A#mA#m       D#mD#m
No cigarettes, only
       F minorFm   G#G#
peeled Havanas  for you

I can be cruel
F minorFm       F#F#
  I don’t know why
G#G#       A#mA#m     C#C#
  Why can’t my balloon stay up
   F#F#       G#G#
In a perfectly windy sky?

I can be cruel
C#C#       D#mD#m
  I don’t know why
F minorFm       A#mA#m
  I don’t know why
