Buster turned round to me And said hey kid you must be joking
|
E A C#m
|
You got an attitude You think you're funny but you're choking hey hey

Back every word that comes out of your mouth (Ten girls ago)
|
E A B
|
You thought you had something to laugh about
|
|
CHORUS
|
E A E A
|
But it was just a crazy thing The wrong act in the wrong circus ring
|
E A E A
|
The sweet pain of a needle's sting Ten girls ago, ten girls ago
|
|
Eddie and Burt sneaked out the back And threw up before every scene
|
|
The camera rolled and my life Flashed before me just as if in a dream
|
A dog was leading me round on a chain Ten girls ago
|
I kicked it but I ended up in pain
|
|
CHORUS 2
|
But it was just a crazy thing Flying an airplane made of string
|
Sweet pain of a needle's sting Ten girls ago
|
|
BRIDGE
|
C#m A B C#m7
|
Wrap it up in a paper cup Put it in a bag for me
|
C#m A B B7
|
Get yourself another dog Ah you're barking up the wrong tree
|
|
Guitar break Same as intro modulated to F# B F#
|
|
And now I stand a hope in hell
|
Of not ending up in the bottom of a well
|
A place where all lost souls must go
|
When they don't know where their life is going
|
And now life glows with a life of its own Ten girls ago
|
I would have told you my chances were blown
|
|
(then) CHORUS I (then) CHORUS 2
