(Verse Riff x8)
I am just a boy working in a record store
Yes I moved to San Francisco just to see what I could be
I am a loser geek, crazy with an evil streak
(fill 1)
Yes I do believe there is a violent thing inside of me
She is just a girl, she is doing what she can
(fill 1)
She dances topless when she's not playing in her band
Such a pretty girl, happy in an ugly place
Watching all the pretty people do lots of ugly things

(Verse riff x4 with fill 3 overdubbed x4)
All I want to do is lose myself in your room
(fill 1)
All you want is just a slow fuck in the aternoon
I still see those scary guys when I am all alone at night
I kiss the ring you gave me then I swing with all my might
(Chorus 1 riff x1 with Fill 2 several times)
AI think it's getting Bbbetter for the two of us
DI think it's getting Ebeasier for you and me to agree
AThat the white men in Bbblack suits
(no chord)
They are diminishing

"ay yay ay yayayaya"
(Post Bridge Riff x1)
(Verse Riff x4, with Fill 3 overdubbed over entire verse)
Yeah she takes a bus over to the north side of the city
(fill 1)
She goes to work stripping for the rich white men
All the words they give her make her feel so soft and pretty
She wears them but they never seem to fit
(with Fill 2 overdubbed over entire chorus)
AYes I think it's getting Bbbetter for the two of us
DYes I think it's getting Ebbetter in the worst way
AI refuse to be Bbafraid of almost everyone
DAfraid of all the things they Ebdo or the words that they say
A Bb (stop)
Let's live the way we want to live and hope they go away
