Track Madelaine
Album Thing a Week Three
VERSE 1
D MajorD
If it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger
D MajorD
But if it kills you you'll be dead
G+G
Use fluorescent bulbs, they'll probably last longer
D MajorD
But the buzzing sound might hurt your head
BB B/C#
There's two ways of looking at your problem
D MajorD D/C# D/C
Right or wrong, win or lose
BB
Stand around and you'll never get the job done
D MajorD C majorC
All you have to do is choose
CHORUS
FF G+G
Madelaine, stay with me
D MajorD E MajorE
Madelaine, leave me be
Bb majorBb A augmentedA D MajorD
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do
FF G+G
Madelaine, stay for more
D MajorD E MajorE
Madelaine, use the door
Bb majorBb A augmentedA D MajorD
Madelaine, I'm gonna leave it up to you
VERSE 2
D MajorD
You could buy a dog to keep away the bad guys
D MajorD
But you'd have to walk him every day
G+G
You could open up a Chicken Kitchen franchise
D MajorD
Piss off the ASPCA
BB B/C#
Either way, you better make your mind up
D MajorD D/C# D/C
What is what, which is which
BB
'Cause on the mound, they're ready with the windup
D MajorD C majorC
And you can't miss another pitch
CHORUS
FF G+G
Madelaine, stay with me
D MajorD E MajorE
Madelaine, leave me be
Bb majorBb A augmentedA D MajorD
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do
FF G+G
Madelaine, stay for more
D MajorD E MajorE
Madelaine, use the door
Bb majorBb A augmentedA D MajorD
Madelaine, I'm gonna leave it up to you
BRIDGE
G minorGm A augmentedA G minorGm A augmentedA
So many tasties on your plate
Bb majorBb FF G+G
What is a hungry girl to do?
G minorGm A augmentedA G minorGm A augmentedA
Already it may be too late
Bb majorBb C majorC D MajorD
I'm sick of cooking for you
VERSE 3
D MajorD
You could tell me that it's getting past your bedtime
D MajorD
And that you have to say good night
G+G
You could tell me that you've had way too much red wine
D MajorD
You would probably be right
BB B/C#
Either way, you better wash those glasses
D MajorD D/C# D/C
You've got friends coming by
BB
And besides, you're sick of making passes
D MajorD C majorC
Truth be told, so am I
CHORUS
FF G+G
Madelaine, stay with me
D MajorD E MajorE
Madelaine, leave me be
Bb majorBb A augmentedA D MajorD
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do
FF G+G
Madelaine, stay for more
D MajorD E MajorE
Madelaine, use the door
Bb majorBb A augmentedA D MajorD
