[Verse 1]
G D Dsus4
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling, she living, she golden,
C
she lives for me, 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
To get me through this
GD Dsus4 C
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
G D Dsus4 C
I want something else
G D Dsus4 C
I'm not listening 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 D Dsus4
Some place back there, 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 D Dsus4
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
C
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again, said
[Pre-Chorus]
D C
How do I get back there to
D C
The place where I 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
To get me through this
GD Dsus4 C
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
G D Dsus4 C
I want something else,
G D Dsus4 C
I'm not listening when you say good~~~bye
[Verse 3] (soft acoustic)
G D C
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
G
The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
D C
I believe in the faith that grows
G DDsus4
And the four right chords can make me cry
C G
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
D Dsus4 C
And that would be alright, alright
[Bridge]
D C
And when the plane came in she said she was crashing
D C D
The velvet it rips in the city we tripped
C
On the urge to feel alive
G
But now I'm struggling to survive
D C
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
D C
You're the priestess I must confess
D C
Those little red panties 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,
D C
and we're broken.
G
Still it's all that I wanna do, just a little now!
[Verse 4]
G D Dsus4 C
Feel myself head made of the ground
G D Dsus4 C
I'm scared I'm not coming down, no no, and I won't
G DDsus4
run for my life
C G
She's got her jaws now 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
G Dsus4 C G/B Am
Not listening when you say goodbye
C G/B Am
goodbye
C G/B Am
goodbye
G DDsus4 C
goodbye
G D Dsus4 C
[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
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**
