Tuned 1/2 step down
Verse 1
Chess is such a difficult game
So many pieces
So many squares where you can go
So few promises
Prechorus 1
Never you mind all the others
Anticipating your next move
I know it's hard
'Cause you've got a lot to do
Verse 2
Street signs and traffic lights
Ever confusing the issue
Stoplight, go right, no U-Turn
Where's the goddamn exit?
Prechorus 2
Never you mind all the others
Influencing your next move
I know it's hard
But you've got a lot to do
Chorus
La la la la la laa
La la la la la laa
La la la la la laa
La la la la la laa
Verse 3
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Pieces lie right before you
This puzzle can't be done wrong
So come on while you can
Prechorus 3
Never you mind all the others
Anticipating your next move
Never you mind all the others
Never you mind what they do
Bridge
Don't let them get you down
'Cause if they do
You'll be trapped forever under their shoe
Here is a paintbrush so go
I know it's hard
'Cause you've got a lot to do
Chorus

End on D
