G5                                                 C5
Oh, well, I feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces
  D5                                G5    D5
So be prepared to sweep me out the door
     G5                           C5      
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
  D5                                    G5  
So I think I'll get acquainted with the floor

          B5                                        C5
Oh, I was trying to get away from the things that I always do
B5                             D5
Hello, floorboards once again--how are you?

G5                                         C5
Lip Service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me
      D5                                   G5          D5
Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
          G5                                       C5
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
     D5                                                      G5
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage

G5                                         C5
All the sign posts on this road that point one way
D5                                                  G5    D5
 Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes
G5                                  C5
I'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing more to say
D5                                                   G5
And it's all been lost before so there's nothing to lose

            B5                              C5
Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly
B5                                    D5
I would've done the same for you, but you said to me:

G5                                         C5
Lip Service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me
      D5                                   G5          D5
Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
          G5                                       C5
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
     D5                                                      G5
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
        D5                                                      G5
Oh just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
