* -> Strum only once


Start in C#m

VERSE:

 C#m
I take too long to answer telephones
         F#m
I take too long to type my name and record messages
            A               Eb    
But my handwriting is excellent
 Ab                    C#m
In fact it's second to none, none

 C#m
I just got in from somewhere really good
         F#m
They offered me the part of Bono and a speaking role
             A                 Eb
With all the merchandice and sunglasses
  Ab            C#m
I could ever need, need

 C#m
I drive round cities in a chariot
      F#m
I get preferential treatment at the Marriot
           A                 Eb           Ab         A
But if the truth be told I'm naked under all these clothes


CHORUS:

            E                B     F#
I tell you what it is on my mind, ohhh
   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
    A *                   Eb *          Ab *   
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there

VERSE:

  C#m
My brain is buzzing and the room is strange
           F#m 
Like that scene in trading places at the stock exchange
           A                    Eb
I made a million over night in '87
          Ab           C#m
Now I'm living in my parking space, parking space

  C#m
My teeth are bright and my hair is clean
        F#m
I wear Paco Rabanne like I was Charlie Sheen
            A               Eb              Ab            A
But in the rain we all look wet and in the snow we all look cold

CHORUS:

            E                B     F#
I tell you what it is on my mind, ohhh
   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
    A *                   Eb *          Ab *   
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there

C#m

VERSE:

 C#m *
I'm not as clever as I thought I was
 F#m *
It got pointed out to me as I was tying the knot
 A *                       Eb *       Ab *     C#m
And all I want to know is how I got so far down, down

 C#m
I'm not as lucky as I thought I was
 F#m
My luck ran out they other day as I was crossing the road
                 A                   Eb                         
Who would have thought a truck like that 
            Ab             A
Could have caused so much harm?


CHORUS:

            E                B     F#
I tell you what it is on my mind, ohhh
   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
    A *                   Eb *          Ab *   
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there

End in C#m , let ring.

Pretty sure it's 100% right. Great cover.
