[Intro]
C  G  F       C  G  F  
doo.. doo.. doo..

[Verse 1]
                   C
I'm packed and I'm Holding I'm smiling
      G                           F
She's living she's golden and she lives for me
                           C
She says she lives for me Ovation
    G
her own motivation
F                                     C
She comes around and she goes down on me
                G                    F
And I make her smile like a drug for you  

Do ever what you want to do
            C
Coming over you
         G
Keep on smiling what we go through
F
  One stop to the rhythm that divides you
C                G                          F
  And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
                                     C
Chop another link like a coda with a curse
                     G                     F
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage 

We give them the games we play she said

[Chorus 1]
C      G         F
I want something else
                  C
To get me through this
G                    F
Semi-charmed kind of life baby baby
C      G         F
I want something else
I'm not listening 
         C  G    F
when you say Goodbye

[Post-chorus]
C  G  F       C  G  F  
doo.. doo.. doo..

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

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

you up until you break
          C                G
It won't stop I won't come down

                    F
I keep stock with a tick-tock 

rhythm and a bump for the drop
           C
And then I bumped up
           G
I took the hit that I was given
       F
Then I bumped again

And then I bumped again and said

[Refrain]
G              F
  How do I get back there to
    G
The place where I 
       F
fell asleep inside you?
G              F
How do I get myself back to
    G
The place where you said

[Chorus 1]
C      G         F
I want something else
                  C
To get me through this
G                    F
Semi-charmed kind of life baby baby
C      G         F
I want something else

I'm not listening 
         C  G    F
when you say Goodbye

[Verse 3]
C                  G
  I believe in the sand 
           F
beneath my toes

The beach gives a feeling
          C
An earthy feeling 
    G
I believe in the 
           F
faith that grows

And the four right 
           C          G
chords can make me cry
F
When I'm with you I 
                  C
feel like I could die

And that would be 
G         F
all right, all right

[Bridge]
             G
and when the plane came in

    F                    G
She said she was crashing
              F
The velvet it rips in 
            G
the city we tripped
               F
On the urge to feel alive
    C
But now I'm struggling to survive
      G
Those days you were wearing
     F
That velvet dress
G
You're the priestess
  F
I must confess
      G
Those little red panties
     F
They pass the test
      C (hold)
Slide up around the belly

Face down on the mattress
G  F        G      F
One And you hold me
          G     F
and we're broken 
           C
Still it's all that I

wanna do just a little now 

[Verse 4]
C           G
Feel myself heading 
        F
off the ground 

I'm scared I'm not coming 
C   G   F
down No no And I won't 
        C      G
run for my life 
F
She's got her jaws now
                  C
locked down in a smile 
               G
But nothing is all 
     F
right all right 

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

I'm not listening 
C        G       F  C Dm
when you say Goodbye

    F  C Dm
goodbye
    F  C Dm
goodbye
    C  G F C G F
goodbye

[Post-chorus]
C  G  F       C  G  F  
doo.. doo.. doo..

[Outro]
               C
The sky it was gold it was rose
      G                            F
I was taking sips of it through my nose

And I wish I could get back there
           C
Some place back there
       G                  F
in the place you used to start
C  G  F    C  G  F   
doo.. doo.. doo

F C Dm (hold)
