Rodriguez - Cause

Cause I ^Elost my job^A two weeks before Christmas^{E A} And I ^Etalked to Jesus at the sewer ^A And the Pope said it was none of his God-^Edamned business ^A

While the ^Erain drank champagne^A My Estonian Archangel came and got ^Eme wasted ^A Cause the ^Esweetest kiss I ever got^A is the one I've never t^Easted ^A

Oh but they'll take^E their bonus ^Apay^G#m to Molly Mc^BDonald, ^E Neon ladies^A, beauty is that which obeys^G#m, is bought or ^Bborrowed

Cause my ^Eheart's become a crooked hotel ^A full of ru^Emours ^A But it's ^EI who pays the rent^A for these fingered-face out-of-^Etuners ^A And I make ^E16 solid half hour friendships^A every ^Eevening ^A Cause your ^Equeen of hearts who is half a stone And likes to laugh a^Alone is always threatening you with ^Eleaving ^A

Oh but they play^E those token ^Agames^G#m on Willy Thompson^{B E} And give a medal to replace the so^An ^G#m of Mrs. Annie John^Bson

Cause they ^Etold me everybody's got to pay their dues ^A And I explained that I had overpaid ^Ethem ^A So over^Edued I went to the company store ^A and the clerk there said that they had just^E been invaded ^A So I ^Eset sail in a teardrop^A and escaped beneath the door^Esill ^A Cause the ^Esmell of her perfume^A echoes in my ^Ehead still ^A

Cause I ^Esee my people trying to drown the sun ^A In weekends of whiskey ^Esours ^A Cause how m^Eany times can you wake up in this comic book^A and pla^Ent flowers? ^A
