Tom: D
D Em G
[Verse 1]
D Em G
All dressed up and nowhere to go.
D Em
I’m headed to hell in a pair of…
G
Gasoline drawers.
D Em
Well I don’t know what I’ve been told
G
But I’ll tell you something that I wish I’d known -
D Em G
They’re only words, unless they’re true,
D Em G
And I should never have lied to you.
D Em
So please tell me what you would say
G
When the IRS finds your tax haven,
D Em
On the shores of the Seychelles
G
Or somewhere nice like Curacao.
D Em G
I never should have bought me a boat.
D Em G
Now I’m up the damned crick without propulsion.
[Chorus]
A G
I ain’t no wolf of any corporate elite.
A G
But now the walls are crumbling down around me.
A G A
So if I say “I’m sorry” for involving you,
G
Will that propel you to pay my bailout
D Em G
sooner than later?
D Em G
D
[Verse 2]
Em G D
I’d atone for all my sins,
Em G
If I wasn’t already so far into the red.
D Em
I know I said “Fools Rush In”
G
but it’s also foolish to keep lying,
D Em G
So tell me how should I say “I’m sorry.”
D Em
I swear by this time next year,
G
We’re gonna have more money, I hope.
D Em
Where I pay off all my credit cards
G
And we’ll have a house with a big front yard
D Em
As I build up my own self worth
G
And I promise I’ll stop being such a jerk.
D Em G
I just need you to keep me in check.
D Em G
And we’ll be straight cash, if you pay my bail
on time!
[Chorus]
A G
I know it’s rich when this is coming from
A G
But right now, I need you to believe it.
A G
If you don’t pay, they’re going to send me away,
A G
Guaranteeing that you won’t see me
D Em G
Sooner than later.
