Intro:
C  Em  C7  A7  Dm7  G  C  G

Verse:
        C           Em           C7               A7
Come on in, sweetie-pie! Have an apple, have some lye.
           Dm7                G                             C     G
Leave your friends, righteous and pathetic, standing at the door.
       C               Em         C7                A7
On the books, all your bets favor head-bands and cassettes,
    Dm7           G           C     G
cigarettes, suffragettes, and bores.

Chorus:
        C    C7
What to doooooo?
F                  Fm   Dm7                                           G
Sweetheart, you'll find mediocre people do exceptional things all the time. 
        C         C7        F         Fm
Oh, the ruin will do in your talented mind
Dm7                            G  
could've been a genius if you'd had an axe to grind. 

Verse:
        C            Em                 C7                 A7
When we moved to the city, it seemed the competition got so much less pretty
       Dm7                  G                      C      G
but the, the mirror's never failed you like this before.
           C           Em            C7                  A7
So your revenge on the world will be pencils through your curls
       Dm7          G                                 C      G
and if wanting ever taught you anything, it's wanting more.
(and more and more and more...) 

Chorus:
        C    C7
What to doooooo?
F                  Fm   Dm7                                           G
Sweetheart, you'll find mediocre people do exceptional things all the time. 
        C         C7        F         Fm
Oh, the ruin will do in your talented mind
Dm7                            G  
could've been a genius if you'd had an axe to grind. 

3/4 break:
        C   Em  Am  F
What to doooooooooooo? 
        C   Em  E   Am  Fm

Solo:
C  Em  C7  A7  Dm7  G  C  G

Verse:
          C           Em               C7                  A7
When that day finally nears, you'll at least have made it clear
        Dm7              G                              C     G
that compassion's just a nicer way of looking down your nose. 
              C               Em                     C7               A7
It seems that all the people want to do is crowd the streets of Amsterdam (Pamplona, too),
Dm7                        G                                    C
but the bulls have already come and gone and bellowed all their lows.
           G
Now nobody knows 

Chorus:
        C    C7
what to doooooo?
F                  Fm   Dm7                                           G
Sweetheart, you'll find mediocre people do exceptional things all the time. 
        C         C7        F         Fm
Oh, the ruin will do in your talented mind
Dm7                            G  
could've been a genius if you'd had an axe to grind.

Outro, 3/4 break:
        C   Em  Am  F
What to doooooooooooo?
        C   Em  Am  F
What to doooooooooooo?
        C   Em  Am  F
What to doooooooooooo?
(What to do? What to do? What to do?)
        C   Em  E   Am  Fm
What to dooooooooooooooooo?
