Intro: C majorC E MajorE FF G+G (2x)
verse 1
C majorC E MajorE
Getting high at a quarter to nine
FF G+G
And you throwing all your favourite lines
C majorC E MajorE
And that red-head said he's living with you
FF G+G
And he copies everything you do...
C majorC E MajorE
And you throw your California smile
FF G+G
And you warn me this could take a while
C majorC E MajorE
So while you think of something to do
FF G+G
I'm thinking I could stick with you
C majorC E MajorE
Cause you're great Alexander, you're great Alexander
FF G+G
You've made up a name for yourself
C majorC E MajorE
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
FF G+G
You've made up a name for yourself
Interlude

verse 2
C majorC E MajorE
In a town at the edge of the Nile
FF G+G
I can see that California smile
C majorC E MajorE
There's a boat with your name on the side
FF G+G
And it waits for the turn of the tide
C majorC E MajorE
In between your Casino and mine
FF G+G
I can see that there's a delicate line
C majorC E MajorE
And I can't tell our voices apart
FF G+G
And I can't tell your life from art
C majorC E MajorE
You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander
FF G+G
You've made up a name for yourself
C majorC E MajorE
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
FF G+G
You're still sitting there on the shelf...
