A
Pardon me sugar I’m the man underneath your thumb

Though you’ve seen your best days
     A
I would still walk down your empty street
     D              E          A
Well you look like salvation but you taste like a refugee

Well you say you got no soul but you look like you do to me

        A
Well I’ve been pushing up daisies
Just to catch a glimpse of something real

When I see you coming
I might just as well give up and kneel
   D
Well if you saw me broken
     E       A
Would you put me out my misery?

Well I don’t do handsome and you don’t do sympathy

A            D    C
Wrong from the get go, let it slide

Tell them what they don’t know
Sing them praises far and wide
D          C
Give those speeches, ring them bells
      A
Mama don’t know what she preaches
E
But she sure looks dignified
E
Well she sure looks dignified
E
Well she sure looks dignified

Take my hungry guarantee

Stand up, sit down, lie back, turn round, play dead for me
