"Shelf Life" by Love and Rockets

from _Sweet F.A._

special chord voicings:

A+/D: xx0221

Dm7: xx0211

Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F

How many A&R men does it take to change a light bulb?

C G G7

I'll get back to you on that

Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F

How many spells and dollars does it take to make the magic

C G G7

of pulling legends from a hat

Am Em

Will they take another sucker for an undersell

Am Em

Regarding them with compliments and muskatelle

Am Em

A honeymoon in Vegas in a plush hotel

G G7

Well, that's a sad town in the morning light

Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F C G G7

How many bullets in the back does it take to kill a singing cowboy?

Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F C

And how much more of this bullshit can you take

G G7

From the charming envoy

Am Em

When your making with the ballpoint on the dotted line

Am Em

Devil's in his heaven and your hair sublime

Am Em

You fit the mold for stardom and the big bells chime

G G7

But it's gold leaf on a wild, wild, wind

Am Em

And they're serving up your future with a twist of lime

Am Em

Paying you in dollars for the perfect crime

Am Em

And you're scratching off the silver for a nail of grime

Am G G7

And pissing in the bitter wind

Dm A+/D Dm7 G7 F C

Last month's colour you're passed your sell by date

G G7

And your days are numbered

What is you shelf life?

Simple song, lots of chord changes (J wrote this one). Listen to the track

for the breaks and play verse chords. "End on Dm stroke", writes J.
