Verse 1:
And you were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery
Well the good things are never free
Em F#m G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V) A(V)
Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?
Verse 2:
And I was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve
Em F#m G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V) A(V)
You could follow me for weeks and I'm not going anywhere
Break 1:
Sometimes it's hard to love someone
Until the day that they are gone
Verse 3:
And I just had a dream the other night I was married to the Queen
And Madonna lived next door, I think she took a shine to me
And the kids were all grown up, but I had to turn her down
G F#m Bm(VII) A(V)
Cause I was still in love with you
Chorus:
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
I'm turning Madonna down
G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V)/riff
I'm calling it my best move
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff A
I'll get a ticket to what you need
Break 2:
F#m Bm G F#m Bm A x2 A
Verse 4:
I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died
And the night Jeff Buckley died
And the night Kurt Cobain died
And the night John Lennon died
My suggestions for extendeding the verse (as seen on BBC TV Top of The Pops):
John Bonham
Frank Zappa
Jimi Hendrix
Duane Allman
George Harrison
Marvin Gaye
Bob Marley
Elvis Presley
Em F#m G F#m Bm(VII) A(V)
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone
Chorus:
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
And that was a lot of nights
G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V)/riff
And that was a lot of lads
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
Who lost a ticket to what they need
Verse 5:
And I was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life,
Always hoped you'd be my wife,
But I never found the time for the question to arrive,
G F#m Bm(V) A(V)
I just disguised it in a song
Verse 6:
And songs are never quite the answer
Just a soundtrack to a life, that is over all too soon
Helps to turn the days to night
G F#m Bm(VII) A(V)
While I was wrong and you were right
Chorus:
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
And this was a lesson learned,
G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V)/riff
I'm happy to be your fool,
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
And get you tickets to what you need
Verse 7: (Whistled)
G F#m Bm(VII) A(V)
Chorus:
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
I'm turning the lights down low
G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V)/riff
I'm ready to make my move
G(III) F#m D5 A5 D
I'll get you tickets to what you neeeee-eeeed
