Chords with lyrics
Verse:
E minorEm
It took a little longer than we hoped
G+G
But it was worth it
A minorAm B7B7
You know it takes a village to raise a scheme
E minorEm C majorC
To patch the holes of a mausoleum
E minorEm
Well we’re packing in the patronage
G+G
Like it's a lotto and everybody wins
A minorAm B7B7
Now take a seat so the show can start
E minorEm C minorCm
And will you welcome these works of art
Bridge:
C minorCm E minorEm
Isn’t she beautiful No
C minorCm E minorEm A minorAm
Maybe another one here could entertain Yes
A minorAm B7B7
We swear that every minute's worth the wait
Chorus:
E minorEm
Hey It's a cry you can’t contain
A minorAm
A augmentedA release you couldn’t estimate
C majorC B7B7
And the secret's safe as long as you pay
E minorEm
It's so good to be so bad
A minorAm
You can leave it when you walk away
C majorC B7B7
And pretend you’ve washed your hands of it
Verse:
E minorEm
Last call for the Sunday squaws
G+G
And there's no room left for the hem and haw
A minorAm B7B7
We’ll give a gift long overdue
E minorEm C majorC
And make a sultan out of you
E minorEm
That’s right any troglodyte
G+G
Can have a life in the party as a socialite
A minorAm B7B7
Or if you’re looking to efface
E minorEm C majorC
You can retire without a trace
C minorCm
Don’t you bother with doubt
Chorus:
E minorEm
Hey It's a cry you can’t contain
A minorAm
A augmentedA release you couldn’t estimate
C majorC B7B7
And the secret's safe as long as you pay
E minorEm
It's so good to be so bad
A minorAm
You can leave it when you walk away
C majorC B7B7
And pretend you’ve washed your hands of it
C-part:
E minorEm
Another candidate for giving her bruises
E minorEm
Another night that she’ll dissociate
E minorEm
Another man who thinks the rules don’t apply to him
E minorEm
Long was this road I’ve wandered
BB Bb majorBb
But short did my temperance live
A minorAm BB
Here I’ve helped him build a temple
E minorEm BB E minorEm
To deify this czar of sin
E minorEm
Now who to blame but I for tying
BB Bb majorBb
These knots so well at my wrists
A minorAm BB
The noose would surely find me if I’m too wily
E minorEm BB E minorEm
But what of the life I’d live
C majorC BB
The sale of a soul that falls
E minorEm C majorC
As foolish as young Esau
A minorAm B7B7
It's better if I withdraw
Chorus:
E minorEm
Hey It's a cry you can’t contain
A minorAm
A augmentedA release you couldn’t estimate
C majorC B7B7
And the secret's safe as long as you pay
E minorEm
It's so good to be so bad
A minorAm
You can leave it when you walk away
C majorC B7B7
And pretend you’ve washed your hands of it
