Verse 1:
A augmentedA        E MajorE        A augmentedA
 And if it was just how you wanted
     E/G#     E MajorE
You'd be glued to his bones and his brainstem
A augmentedA          E MajorE       A augmentedA
 And changing your image and attitudes
   E/G#      E MajorE
Won't bring him back into your bedroom

He's unresponsive cause you're irresponsible

 Little swinger, your bottle is thinking too much
       E/G#   E MajorE
Cause you're aiming to please way off target
A augmentedA            E MajorE        A augmentedA
 And I'll tell you what you must already know
  E/G# E MajorE
Of ampu--tating that too slow

Outro - Glenn W. Turner:

(alternate between A augmentedA and E MajorE)

"And give you instant belief, cause you don't have instant belief
You've been hooked, you've been crooked
You've been lied to so many times, that you're suspicious-minded
And when the right thing comes along, you don't believe in it
When I'm coming in knocking on the front door
You're out the back door looking for four leaf clovers
And when you find it, you think somebody planted it there to fool you
'What's the angle?' You look for an excuse"
