[Verse 1]

F#         F#*         B         Bm

Got a foot in the door god knows what for

      F#   A#            C#   C                 B    D

And a gun      is on the side         stupidity tries

F#         F#*         B          Bm

Everything comes free, everything but you and me

     F#   A#            C#   C                B    D    C#

This painting     never dries       stupidity tries


[Chorus 1]

D#       D        A       C#

So got a show and raise a cheer

D       C#     A       C#

Calling in the sky without 

D#           F#    G#   B     C#

Because they found some privity

D         C#      A      C#

Saying it was the sea of drought


[Verse 2]

F#           F#*    B             Bm

The enemy is within don't confuse me with him

    F#   A#            C#   C                 B    D

The truth    is otherwise       stupidity tries

[Bridge]

F#     F#*     B     Bm


[Chorus 2]

D#       D       A      C#

And so I go from far to far

D       C#    A        C#

Lookin' for a phone to call

D#      F#   G#   B       C#

Looking like some Spanish love 

D      C#      A          C#

Conquering the governor's ball


[Verse 3]

F#               F#*        B           Bm

I couldn't think of a thing that I hope tomorrow brings

F#   A#         C#        C                B    D

Oh,      what a surprise     stupidity tries

[Bridge 2]

* Play these chords until the song ends

F#     F#*     B     Bm
