Standard (EADGBE)

I've sung some songs that were lame

I've slept with girls on the game

I've got my Catholic shame

Lord I'm in purgatory

(Percusion joins in from 'top', ring all chords from then, too.)

Basically, it's all come on top for me

Bridge

I wasn't me when we met

You haven't lost my respect

I'm here to serve and protect

What shade of insanity

(Ring all chords from 'back'.)

Keeps leading you ba-ack to me

Chorus

So put your hands across the water

Mushro-o-om

Monso-o-on

(Ring all chords from 'so-')

Come so-o-on

Verse

Don't wanna piss on your parade

I'm here to make money and get laid

Yeah I'm a star but I'll fade

If you ain't sticking your kni-ives through me

(Ring all chords from '-ven-')

You will be e-ven-tual-ly

To all you Sharons and Michelles

With all your tales to sell

Save your meat money well

I'm glad that spending a ni-ight with me

(Ring all chords from '-le-')

Guaranteed you ce-le-bri-ty

Bridge

And I can't talk in a crowd

When I'm alone I'm too loud

You've done your daddy's proud

Thank you for keeping me co-om-pany

(Ring all chords from 'ni-ice')

You've all been so ni-ice to me

Chorus

So put your hands across the water

Mushro-o-om

Monso-o-on

(Ring all chords from 'so-')

Come so-o-on

Middle 8

O-oh Lor', I-I feel no- othin'

I-I know much smarter men never got this far

No percussion until 'much'

I've got too many regrets

I smoked too many cigarettes

I've had more blondes than brunettes

I'm not expecting your sympathy

(Ring all chords from 'much')

But it's all been too much for me

Chorus

So put your hands across the water

Mushro-o-om

Monso-o-on

(Ring all chords from 'so-')

Come so-o-on

So put your hands across the water

Mushro-o-om

Monso-o-on

(Ring all chords from 'so-')

Come so-o-on
