Tom: A5
 
A5   D5    A5               D5   A5
         Forever 
        D5      C5            F5
Doesn't mean forever anymore
A5 D5        A5     
I said forever
               D5                      C5                 F5
But it doesn't look like I'm gonna be around much anymore
D5                  G5
When the heat gets so tropical
B5               E5
And the talk gets  so topical

Chorus:
D5          D5                 B5 (can use B5 )
Riot act - you can read me the riot act
Bb5            E5
You can make me a matter of fact
     A5    
Or a villain in a million
  E5                         A5
A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian
C#5             C5              B5
Why do you talk such stupid nonsense
            Bb5               A5
When my mind could rest much easier
C#5        C5                  B5
Instead of all this dumb dumb insolence
           Bb5              A5
I would be happier with amnesia
A5    D5         A5
They say forget her
                         D5                C5                F5
Now it looks like you're either gonna be before me or against me
A5  D5          A5
I  got your letter
               D5                 C5             F5
Now they say I don't care for the color that it paints me
D5               G5
Trying to be so bad is bad enough
B5            E5
Don't make me laugh by talking tough
D5              G5
Don't put your heart out on your sleeve
E5
When your remarks are off the cuff
