[ A F G E ] x2

G

A

Another night out on the street

F

Stopping for my usual seat

G

Oh, bartender, please

Dacqari tonic's my favorite drink

I don't like anything colored pink

That just stinks...it's not for me ***

A F G E

It feels like somebody put something somebody put something in my drink

Somebody put something somebody put something

Blurred vision and dirty thoughts

Feel out of place, very distraught

Feel something coming on

Kick the jukebox, slam the floor

Drink, drink, drink, drink some more

I can't think Hey! What's in this drink? ***

It feels like somebody put something somebody put something in my drink

Somebody put something somebody put something in my drink

Somebody put something somebody put something in my drink

Somebody put something

G E

In my drink

In my drink

In my drink

A F G

In my drink

[ A F G ]

So you think it's funny a college prank

Goin' insane for something to drink

Feel a little dry

Oh, I couldn't care what you think of me

Cause somebody put something in my drink

I can't think Hey! Give me a drink

It feels like somebody put something somebody put something in my drink

Somebody put something somebody put something in my drink

LOVE KILLS

[ G E C D ] x2

[ G F# ] x2

G E C D

Sid was a punk rock king Nancy was a broken queen

Their lives were so glamorous Sid and Nancy were a mess

When you're hooked on heroin don't you know you'll never win

Drugs don't ever pay you really did it your way

G B C D

Love kills

Love kills

Love kills

We still believe in anarchy it makes me so damn angry

Sid and Nancy meant a lot to me you may be dead but your souls are free

Like Romeo and Juliet you two made a pact of death

Like the needle that ya used Sid and Nancy were born to lose

Love kills...

[ G E C D ] x2

[ G F# ] x2

Sid never meant any harm he shot some dope into his arm

All he wanted was some fun now she's lying in a pool of blood

Always loaded, always high why did you have to die?

I'll say one thing is it leaves me with a bitter taste

Love kills...

Love kills...

Love kills...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

APEMAN HOP

[ A C F G ] x2

A C F G

He's go so many problems you can count them one by one

He's a filthy, stupid apeman he never has any fun

He lives in the jungle in a cave by a hill

Plays an old loud drum he's primitive, barely human

A G A

Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop

Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop

Paint the face of a demon, glowing by the fire light

Hoppin' like an elephant thunderin' like me tonight

He's the world's worst recycler the iceman comes a lot

He's the devil's apprentice he's a prehistoric man

Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop...

At night he's gonna sacrifice his beloved apeman girl

Tie her to the alter, pull out her heart and eat her flesh

Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop...

Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHE BELONGS TO ME

[ A F# D ] x2

F# D

What makes you think she'll go with you

A

What makes you think you're better than me

F# G

You think you can read her mind

D

Maybe you're just looking for a good time

F# D

Maybe you can give her more

A

Tell me what you're doing this for

E

Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry

A

Don't tell me how to love my baby

F# D

Don't tell me how to love my baby

A

Don't tell me how to love my baby

F# D

Don't tell me how to love my baby

D A

She belongs to me

You come around looking for kicks

But I know all about your dirty tricks now

You think you took away my dream

Ain't gonna be easy 'cause I get real mean

Get out of here, get out of my life

You're gonna be sorry if we have to fight

Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry

Don't tell me how to love...

[ F# D A E ] x4

Don't tell me how to love...

[ G F C G ]

F C

You've got to pick up the pieces c'mon, sort your trash

F C

Better call, call the law when you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah

G

You're a politician don't become one of Hitler's children

A G F

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea

As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me

Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy

F

Pick up the pieces

C G F

No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down

No no-no-no, I need something to slow me down

No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down

C G

No no-no-no, and I need something to slow me down

Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best

Fifty thousand dollar dress shaking hands with your highness

See through you like cellophane you watch the world complain, but you do it

anyway who am I, am I to say

Bonzo goes to Bitburg and goes out for a cup of tea...

No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down...

[ D A G ] x4

D

If there's one thing that makes me sick

A G

It's when someone tries to hide behind politics

D

I wish that time could go by fast

A G

Somehow they manage to make it last

D A G

No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down

No no-no-no, I need something to slow me down

No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down

No no-no-no, and I need something to slow me down

EAT THAT RAT

One-two-three-four

[ E G A ] x2

E G A E G A

You don't want to share with anyone else

You got all the money, you got all the wealth

You got all the buildings and the factories

You got all the power and the ceremonies

[ A Bb C ] x2

You wanna play a game of cat and mouse

With the President in the White House

This is a hungry world, there are months to feed

There are millionaires with more than they need

[ A Bb C ] x2

E G A

Eat that rat

Don't believe what you've been told

You can't change a turd into gold

Somehow we get all these creeps in control

It makes me throw up in the toilet bowl

[ A Bb C ] x2

You thieving whore, you hustle for bucks

You take the money and you shoot it up

That's the breaks, it's the chance you take

Get it together for your children's sake

Eat that rat...

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN

F

[ A E F# D E ] x2

D

A E

I wish I was someone else

D F G

I'm confused, I'm afraid, I hate the loneliness

A E

And there's nowhere to run to

D F G

Nothing makes any sense, but I still try my hardest

F G

Take my hand Please help me man

A E F# D E

'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

A E

And I don't know where to start

F# D E D

And I don't know where to begin, to begin

If I was stupid or naive

Trying to achieve what they all call contentness

If people weren't such dicks and I never made mistakes

Then I could find forgiveness

Take my hand Please help me man

'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

And I don't know where to start

And I don't know where to begin, oh no

[ F# D E ] x4

A E

I can't be someone else I don't feel that it's hopeless

F G

I don't feel that I'm useless

A E F# D E

I can't throw it all away I need some courage to find my weakness

And with your love, I know with all my heart I can win

'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

And I just need something to believe in

I'm looking for something to believe in

And I just need something to believe in
