* -> Strum only once
[INTRO]
C#m
[VERSE]
C#m
I take too long to answer telephones
F#m
I take too long to type my name and record messages
A Eb
But my handwriting is excellent
G# C#m
In fact it's second to none, none
C#m
I just got in from somewhere really good
F#m
They offered me the part of Bono and a speaking role
A Eb
With all the merchandice and sunglasses
G# C#m
I could ever need, need
C#m
I drive round cities in a chariot
F#m
I get preferential treatment at the Marriot
A Eb G# A
But if the truth be told I'm naked under all these clothes
[CHORUS]
E B F#
I tell you what it is on my mind, ohhh
A E B F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
A E B F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
A * Eb * G# *
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
[VERSE]
C#m
My brain is buzzing and the room is strange
F#m
Like that scene in trading places at the stock exchange
A Eb
I made a million over night in '87
G# C#m
Now I'm living in my parking space, parking space
C#m
My teeth are bright and my hair is clean
F#m
I wear Paco Rabanne like I was Charlie Sheen
A Eb G# A
But in the rain we all look wet and in the snow we all look cold
[CHORUS]
E B F#
I tell you what it is on my mind, ohhh
A E B F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
A E B F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
A * Eb * G# *
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
C#m
[VERSE]
C#m *
I'm not as clever as I thought I was
F#m *
It got pointed out to me as I was tying the knot
A * Eb * G# * C#m
And all I want to know is how I got so far down, down
C#m
I'm not as lucky as I thought I was
F#m
My luck ran out the other day as I was crossing the road
A Eb
Who would have thought a truck like that
G# A
Could have caused so much harm?
[CHORUS]
E B F#
I tell you what it is on my mind, ohhh
A E B F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
A E B F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh
A * Eb * G# *
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
