[Am79/D] [ D ] 4 times
[ F#m7 ] F# Earth [ B7 ] quakes and my [ F#m7 ] Bug [ B7 ] breaks
[ Em7 ] You need a light to [ A7 ] see through the [ D ] smog [ D ]
[ F#m7 ] It?s like D-[ B7 ]-day out on the [ F#m7 ] free [ B7 ] way
[ Em7 ] I?d like to crawl back [ A7 ] under my [ D ] log [ D ]
All these [ B7 ] Rolls Royce Hip Roll down the Sunset Strip
just like [ E7 ] Pharaos down the Nile.
[ A7 ] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [ D ] / [Am79/D] [ D ]
[ F#m7 ] D?g [ B7 ] bites [ F#m7 ] lost [ B7 ] kites
[ Em7 ] he says Thanks but [ A7 ] he never says [ D ] Please [ D ]
[ F#m7 ] We both [ B7 ] shave and we [ F#m7 ] jump [ B7 ] waves
[ Em7 ] He never has much skin [ A7 ] on his [ D ] knees [ D ]
You know [ B7 ] he?s got the habit now for Peter Rabbit now,
[ E7 ] and Disney crocodiles.
[ A7 ] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [ D ] / [Am79/D] [ D ]
Solo one verse until...
All these [ B7 ] movie stars and all these Jane and Tarzan just to,
[ E7 ] run the three minute mile.
[ A7 ] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [ D ] / [Am79/D] [ D ]
