     G (320003@1)                         C (x32010@1)    
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
  D (xx0232@1)                                  G (320003@1)

          G (320003@1)                                     CWith (x32010@1)your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
     D (xx0232@1)                                                    GJust (320003@1)remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage

B7 (x21202@1)                                  DI (xx0232@1)would've done the same for you, but you said to me:
