Hey this was requested so I thought I would give it a go even though I don't know the
very well. These are just basic chords for singing along, the real guitar parts are a bit
my skill to figure out! Any suggestions/comments appreciated!

Wipe it up you're capable of putting back a few
when you have to
F C G6
Memorize the history of your body like a virgin;

Ladies night, 80's night; the kids get high and eat TV,

So do we. For Halloween I want to be Lenny Bruce
F
I want them to hate me

I want them to hate me
G6
I want them to hate me
Em G6
So you can love me on the sly

My old flame broke the 12 bar blues
just to prove he could
F C G6
He pays the airline DJs now
He is everywhere

G6 Em G6
I don't feel so far away from you lately, love me on the sly
(here when you alternate Em/G6, play the G6 just once and keep strumming the Em... play
with the song and it will make sense)
