Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

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


Verse 2:

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


Chorus:

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