(first time only)

Verse:

E B

I'd like to see you, I'll take your hand

E B

And when I pull out, you'll understand

A B

See me when you're looking for love

A B

A naked lie from the heavens above

E B

I've been around since I don't know when

E B

I've got some lovers that you can rent

A B

Seek you when I'm digging for gold

A B

I feel alive since I sold my soul

Bridge:

F#

I'm scared thinking 'bout the 4th of July

A

Can't seem to fight it, it can't be denied

F#

I got more than that on my brain

A

I got so much it'll drive you insane

Chorus:

E B

You drive, I'll steer

E B

Everybody else, steer clear

E B

'Cause I'm sitting pretty

D

I'm in the lap of luxury

I'm in the lap of luxury

'Cause when I get to the top and I don't wanna stop

'Cause I like, I love it, I like it a lot

Whoo!

Intro riff 2x

Chords same for verse and bridge

You want a real look at paradise

Simple pleasures just won't suffice

See me when you're looking for love

A naked lie from the heavens above

I'm in color and you're black and white

Let's start the rumors from heaven tonight

I got a penthouse in Manhattan Place

Come up and see me if you want a taste

Chorus

Intro riff 2x
