Pull me up a chair

There's no guarantees

Won't you please forgive me?

But you know cold-blooded women make me sneeze

If for just one minute you lie

They'll come crashing through the wall

And leave you crawling 'til the minute you die
Verse 2:

Pour yourself a drink or three

Living's much too easy

Well you swear that you're original
D7Cadd9BAGC
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before

So steal a watch right off my wrist

Please don't get me wrong

It's only right that you can stamp on my heart
DCadd9BA
Well I see you and your friends someplace
D7Cadd9BAC
You know I just can't tell you apart
Chorus 2:
C5
And though they'll hunt you like a dog

But they won't take you alive

Cause you made big piles of money

Stacked up twenty storeys high

Well the boys in every bar

They will not miss you when you go
