In the chorus, the Dm is played on beats 1, 2 & 3 and the C is played on 4.
[Verse]
Dm C Dm Dm C Dm Dm C Dm Dm C Bb A
I . . . . . Who took the money? Who took the money away?
Dm C Dm Dm C Dm Dm C Dm Dm C Bb A
I . . . . . It's always showtime Here at the edge of the stage
Dm C Dm Dm C Dm Dm C Dm Dm C Bb A
O - U - T But no hard feelings What do you know? Take you a-way
Dm C Dm Dm C Dm Dm C Dm Dm C Bb A
We're being taken for a ride again
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm C
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Dm C Dm C Bb A
She has the smoke in her eyes
Dm C Dm C
She's moving up, going right through my house
Dm C Dm C Bb A
She's gonna give me surprise
Dm C Dm C
Better than this, know that It's right
Dm C Dm C Bb A
I think you can if you like
Dm C Dm C
I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair
Dm C Dm C Bb A
And nothing is better than that is it?
[Verse]
Down, down in the basement we hear the sound of machines
I, I, I'm driving in circles come to my senses sometime
Why, why, why, why start it over? Nothing was lost, everything's free
I don't care how impossible it seems
[Chorus]
Somebody calls you but you cannot hear get closer to be far away
Only one look and that's all that it takes maybe that's all that we need
All that it takes, I'll bet it's right, all it takes if it's right
I got a girlfriend that's better than that and she goes wherever she likes
there she goes
[Chorus]
I got a girlfriend that's better than that now everyone's getting involved
She's moving up going right through my heart we might not ever get caught
Going right through try to stay cool going through, staying cool
I got a girlfriend that's better than that and nothing is better than you,
wait a minute
[Chorus]
I got a girlfriend thats better that this but you don't remember at all
As we get older and stop making sense you won't find her waiting long
Stop making sense, stop making sense stop making sense, making sense
I got a girlfriend she's better than that and nothing is better than this,
is it?
