Am  F  C  G
Am  F  C  G

Am                        C                Em7
Wipe it up you're capable of putting back a few when you have to
Am        C                    Em7
Memorize the history of your body like a virgin
Am                  C                          Em7
Ladies night, eighties night, the kids get high and eat 
   Am                C                 Em7
So do we, for Halloween I want to be Lenny Bruce
    Dm
I want them to hate me
   Dm
I want them to hate me
    Dm
I want them to hate me
       C                         G
So you can love me on the sly
Am                C                         Em7
My old flame broke the 12 bar blues, just to prove he could
Am                 C              Em7
He pays the airline djs now, he is everywhere
   Dm
I want him to hate me
   Dm
I want him to hate me
  Dm
I want him to hate me
       C                         G
So you can love me on the sly
   Dm
I want him to hate me
   Dm
I want him to hate me
            Dm                                      C                   G
I don't feel so far away from you lately love me on the sly

(guitar solo-ish)
Am  C   Em7   Dm7
Am  C   Em7   Dm7

Am                C            Em7
Fill me in on horrible, how much is there where else can I live
Am          C                     Em7             E
The dirty sugar factory on the water should smell sweet
  Am                  F
I want them to hate me
  C                    G
I want them to hate me
             Am         F                         C                  G
I don't feel so far away from you lately love me on the sly
    Am                F
I want them to hate me
   C                    G
I want them to hate me
           Am         F                         C                     G
I dont feel so far away from you lately love me on the sly
          Am            F
I want them to hate me 
       C                G
I want them to hate me
           Am        F                           C                     G
I don't feel so far away from you lately love me on the sly
