G                         D              Dsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
C
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
G                         D              Dsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo

[Verse 1]
                                G
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
           D                   Dsus4         C
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me

She says she lives for me
G                    D           Dsus4
Ovation her own motivation
C                                                                   G
She comes around and she goes down on me
                            D                  Dsus4
And I make her smile like a drug for you
                        C
Do ever what you want to do
G
Coming over you
                 D                              Dsus4
Keep on smiling what we go through
C
One stop to the rhythm that divides you

[Pre-Chorus]
G                              D            Dsus4             C
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
                                                            G
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
                           D                 Dsus4       C
Come on like a freak show takes the stage

We give them the games we play she said

[Chorus 1]
G           D     Dsus4 C
I want something else
                                    G
To get me through this
D                         Dsus4 C
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
G           D       Dsus4 C
I want something else, I'm not listening
                   G     D Dsus4 C
when you say good~~~bye

[Post-chorus]
G                        D               Dsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
C
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
G                       D                Dsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
C
Doo-doo-doo

[Verse 2]
                          G
The sky it was gold, it was rose
            D                Dsus4                  C
I was taking sips of it through my nose

And I wish I could get back there
                     G
Some place back there
                          D                             Dsus4
Smiling in the pictures you would take
C
Doing crystal meth will lift

you up until you break
               G                             D
It won't stop I won't come down
              Dsus4          C
I keep stock with a tick-tock

rhythm, a bump for the drop
                     G
And then I bumped up
                  D                    Dsus4
I took the hit that I was given
              C
Then I bumped again
N.C.
Then I bumped again, said

[Pre-Chorus]
D                          C
    How do I get back there to
         D
The place where I
         C
fell asleep inside you?
  D                    C
How do I get myself back to
            D
The place where you said

[Chorus 1]
G           D      Dsus4 C
I want something else
                                       G
To get me through this
D                        Dsus4 C
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
G           D       Dsus4 C
I want something else, I'm not listening
                  G     D Dsus4 C
when you say Good~~~bye

[Verse 3]
G                         D
I believe in the sand
                      C
beneath my toes
N.C.
The beach gives a feeling
                   G
An earthy feeling
      D
I believe in the
                   C
faith that grows
N.C.
And the four right
                     G                 D Dsus4
chords can make me cry
C
When I'm with you I
                             G
feel like I could die
N.C.
And that would be
       D         Dsus4 C
all right, all right

[Bridge]
                         D
and when the plane came in
         C                              D
She said she was crashing
                      C
The velvet it rips in
                      D
the city we tripped
                          C
On the urge to feel alive
         G
But now I'm struggling

to survive
             D
Those days you were wearing
            C
That velvet dress
D
You're the priestess
     C
I must confess
              D
Those little red panties
            C
They pass the test
           G (hold)
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress
D         C
One...
D*                                 C*
And you hold me, and we're broken.
                G
Still it's all that I wanna do, just a little now!

[Verse 4]
G                   D
Feel myself head
             Dsus4 C
made of the ground
N.C.
I'm scared I'm not coming
G         D Dsus4   C
down, no no, and I won't
               G     D Dsus4
run for my life
C
She's got her jaws now
                               G
locked down in a smile
                        D      Dsus4 C
But nothing is alright, alright

[Chorus 2]
G            Dsus4        C
I want something else
                     G               Dsus4
To get me through this
C
life, baby
G           Dsus4         C
I want something else

I'm not listening
                   G      Dsus4    C    G/B  Am
when you say goodbye
       C G/B Am
goodbye
       C G/B Am
goodbye
       G D Dsus4 C G D Dsus4 C
goodbye

[Post-chorus]
G                        D              Dsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
C
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
G                        D             Dsus4 C
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Outro]
                         G
The sky it was gold it was rose
            D                Dsus4                  C
I was taking sips of it through my nose
N.C.
And I wish I could get back there
                     G
Some place back there
            D               Dsus4     C
in the place you used to start
G                         D             Dsus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
C
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

G           D       Dsus4    C
I want something else

C G/B Am**
