Listen to the bass line as to where to come in with the b d f# notes - you can leave them out, but if playing by yourself, it adds a lot. The notes have been left out of the verses. Intro b d f# G Bm *verse 1* G Bm You can take a powder you can take a drink G Bm You can keep the shrink and the kitchen sink Bm Bm/A Bm/G Bm/F# Write my name in heaven in invisible ink Bm/F# F#m Bm F#m I just woke up from dreaming, I think *verse 2* G Bm You can take me over you can give me a lip G Bm You can take me under you can give me the slip Bm Bm/A Bm/G Bm/F# Take off everything or tear me off a strip F#m Like a lady in the camber and another in the clip *chorus* G Em Don't move a muscle baby Bm Em Don't even flinch Bm Bm/A Bm/G You can miss me by a mile Bm/F# Em Bm Or just inch by inch G Inch by inch, Inch by inch Em F#m Bm You can pull me up again inch by inch G Inch by inch, as pulses race Em F#m Bm G Bm I long to see that look upon your face *verse 3 same as verse 2* You can take me outside you can take me apart You can take me upstairs you can take me to heart You made me love you when you thought you were smart Don't try to stop me when you told me to start *same as other chorus* Don't move a muscle baby Don't even flinch You can miss me by a mile Or just inch by inch Inch by inch, Inch by inch You can pull me up again inch by inch Inch by inch, as pulses race I long to see that look upon your face Em F#m Bm (fade) I long to see that look upon your face
