C              G              Am
Oh what have you done with your life
   F           Am
Oh please dont tell me
   G           Am      F
Just shut up and go to work
   C           G
Cause youre interrupting me

   C      G         Am
I wont represent the US
   F             Am
In the summer olympics
   G          Am      F
My characters questionable
   C          G
My life is a broken record


Chorus:
   C           G       Am
Im shredding the document
   F           Am
Im keeping my mouth shut
   G           Am      F
Im running on radio silence
   C           G
Im letting the record speak

   C           G       Am
Im shredding the document
   F                Am
The switchboard is lighting up
   G           Am      F
Im not taking anymore calls
   C           G
Well maybe from Larry King


   C      G         Am
And I dont know who killed who
   F           Am
Im having a sex change
   G           Am      F
To a woman who loves too much
   C           G
My sisters a petty thief

   C        G       Am
I doctored the evidence
   F           Am
Yeah it was a cover up
   G            Am          F
I want to stay wrapped in my blanket
   C           G
And never get out of bed


Chorus
 
  C         G     Am
All rumor and innuendo
  F        Am
An eagles reunion
  G           Am      F
The 20th centurys closing
  C           G
Its closing in on me

   C              G      Am
You know what my father said
   F               Am
Well Im not going to tell you
   G              Am      F
Some words that I try to live by
   C                   G
Its none of your goddamn business


Chorus

   C           G       Am
Im shredding the document
   F                Am
The switchboard is lighting up
   G           Am      F
Im not taking anymore calls
   C             G
Well maybe from Oprah Winfrey
