C#                   A
She wanna string of pearls

All I got her was a necklace
                         C#
Made of flowers from the trash can
                  A
She wanna make me pay for it
                                             F#
Yeah while I'm at it guess I'll take another bath, man
                  A
And the record's out
                       F#
Holdin' steady gaining on last place
                  A
And in a moment's notice
                        C#               A
We'll be ready for the next new phase
         C#
Another stupid craze    (Same thing for the rest of the song)

She wanna string of pearls
All I got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She's gonna make me pay for it
I start to sing and cry and then
It makes me laugh, man
Yeah we've all got doubts
Might not be winning but still in the race
And in a moment's notice
We'll be ready for her next new phase
It might be hard to sell
Still never in giving
Have I given... So deep...oh, well
Will you give it all to me when you're dead
You can keep the scent on my pillow
To settle your broken-heart and head
Will you think of me when you die
Holding steady
Moment's notice
Again she left with my heart in hand
A
She says she hates me
           B
Yeah she's lied before
                   A
Again it's time to play me

Yeah it just adds up
                       B
That same sad melodic score
                      A
I wrote another one
               B
Does this one count
                                           A
And did cost as much as all the other ones
So much more...

She wanna string of pearls
All I got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She wanna make me pay for it
And while I'm at it guess I'll take
Another bath man
Yeah the record's out
Holding steady gaining on last place
And in a moment's notice
We'll be ready for her next new phase
So I state my case
Would you want a string of pearls
'Cause all I got you was a necklace
Made of flowers, made of flowers from a trash can
And she wanna string of pearls
Ain't that enough, ma'am?
I think it's worth so much more
