I Wish Somebody Would Build A augmentedA Bridge - Thirsty Merc

Verse 1:

AbAb                           F#F#
Munching on a ham and cheese sando in the morning on Friday
              F minorFm
Cruising down the Pacific Highway
            Eb MajorEb
Thinking 'bout the day ahead

AbAb                       F#F#
I paid the rent cheque, got my registration and phone bill
                  F minorFm
If those two don't overthrow me the dogs will
                   Eb MajorEb
But heck at least I know the taste of bread

AbAb                         F#F#
Why do I seem to spend my whole damn life chasing paper?
                    F minorFm
I'm like an actor turned singer turned waiter
     BbmBbm             Eb MajorEb
I'll wait around until I meet with my maker

Then I'll sign up for A augmentedAA or something


AbAb                          F#F#
I just wish there was some other way to get myself somewhere
                       F minorFm
This little strip of earth and all that I've done there
      BbmBbm           Eb MajorEb
I'm like a bull-ant on the leg of a sunchair

Under a magnifying glass


Chorus:

 AbAb          C majorC    F minorFm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
     E MajorE     AbAb
So I can get over myself
        C majorC     F minorFm   C#C#  Eb MajorEb
On my own I'm wasting my time

Verse 2:

AbAb                           F#F#
I take a phonecall on the mobile while I'm checking the meter
                    F minorFm
One sec I need to turn up that little speaker
                Eb MajorEb
It's getting noisy in this little town


AbAb                          F#F#
We're like America we love to make a ho-har out of jack shit
              F minorFm
I never ever really seemed to fit
                  Eb MajorEb
But now I'm stuck so deep in all of this


AbAb                          F#F#
Come to think of it I might as well be travelling backwards
                   F minorFm
It's been an hour and I'm only in Chatswood
      BbmBbm           Eb MajorEb
I hate the way that I'm becoming a product

Go pick me up for $24.95


AbAb                       F#F#
I'm on sale and it's retail in the world of deception
                    F minorFm
You can treat a man if he can't get erections
      BbmBbm           Eb MajorEb
Is there a pill for my lack of direction?

Thanks mate, I'll have a pack of those


Chorus:

 AbAb          C majorC    F minorFm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
     E MajorE     AbAb
So I can get over myself
        C majorC     F minorFm   C#C#   Eb MajorEb
On my own I'm wasting my time
 AbAb          C majorC    F minorFm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
     E MajorE     AbAb
So I can get over myself
        C majorC    F minorFm    C#C#   Eb MajorEb
On my own I'm losing my mind


Verse 3:

AbAb                       F#F#
It's all good I got a broom and a cheap persian rug now
                   F minorFm
I can sweep the whole thing outta my sight now
         Eb MajorEb
Outta sight, outta mind


AbAb                   F#F#
I'll keep on going until I'm pushing 30 or 40
                   F minorFm
And as long as I don't do something naughty
           Eb MajorEb
I love my wife, what a life


AbAb                            F#F#
She comes home to find me spread on the floor from blood poisoning
                    F minorFm
I popped a whole lot of pills and I'm shaking
        BbmBbm           Eb MajorEb
And there's a needle sticking out of my arm, I ain't faking I'm zoning in
I'm zoning out


AbAb                       F#F#
You wanna help me, don't call me an ambulance honey
                   F minorFm
Just get a silver service cab this is funny
      BbmBbm          Eb MajorEb
Just one passenger please, going up my own ass

You take credit card? Fuck this!


Chorus:

 AbAb          C majorC    F minorFm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
     E MajorE     AbAb
So I can get over myself

On my own I'm wasting my time
 AbAb          C majorC    F minorFm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
     E MajorE     AbAb
So I can get over myself
        C majorC    F minorFm   C#C#   Eb MajorEb
On my own I'm losing my mind

 AbAb          C majorC    F minorFm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
     E MajorE     AbAb
So I can get over myself
        C majorC     F minorFm      C#C#   Eb MajorEb
On my own I'm wasting my time... I'm wasting my life
 AbAb          C majorC    F minorFm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
     E MajorE     AbAb
So I can get over myself
        C majorC    F minorFm   C#C#   Eb MajorEb   (AbAb) *optional to resolve melody
On my own I'm losing my mind
