[Verse 1]

F# F#* B Bm

Got a foot in the door god knows what for

F# A# C# C B D

And a gun is on the side stupidity tries

F# F#* B Bm

Everything comes free, everything but you and me

F# A# C# C B D C#

This painting never dries stupidity tries

[Chorus 1]

D# D A C#

So got a show and raise a cheer

D C# A C#

Calling in the sky without

D# F# G# B C#

Because they found some privity

D C# A C#

Saying it was the sea of drought

The enemy is within don't confuse me with him

F# A# C# C B D

The truth is otherwise stupidity tries

[Bridge]

F# F#* B Bm

[Chorus 2]

D# D A C#

And so I go from far to far

D C# A C#

Lookin' for a phone to call

D# F# G# B C#

Looking like some Spanish love

D C# A C#

Conquering the governor's ball

[Verse 3]

F# F#* B Bm

I couldn't think of a thing that I hope tomorrow brings

F# A# C# C B D

Oh, what a surprise stupidity tries

[Bridge 2]
