VERSE 1:
C(viii)
My life reads like the classifieds.
Pages of what's for sale; whats on the auction block.
F
Attention bidders! Its line 45.
He's got a decent voice, he's got that crooked smile.
C(viii)
Hold on, you havent heard the best yet.
He writes good storylines, he's got those honest eyes.
F
So take him home for just $9.95.
He'll sing the songs you like, he'll keep you warm at night...

I'm not the type to forget about nights
F5
like this, where every single move that I make
A5
is documented and scored for style points.
G5
The once ambitious one now holds the smoking gun.
C Csus4
And if I die in my sleep, are you still willing to be
C Csus4
everything you promised you would be?
