                  Am Dm
Say you wanna get in
                        G   C
And then you wanna get out
                  Am  Dm
When you get the money
                   G    C
To buy yourself a castle
                        F      Bm7-5
How will you wear your leisure?
                       E  Am
Your zipper back and front
                B    Dm
On the fence together
             E
Weekends in leather
            Am    Dm
Flip to the right
                  G   C
Slip back to the left
                       Am   Dm
For handshakes at the ranch
                    G   C
Small talk at the crossroads
                   F
Rubbing up to the ladder
Bm7-5             E   Am
Sucking on every rung
B                      F
Coming up forever and hanging on

That's entertainment
When the cameras roll
Can you face the pavement
For a happy dog and pony show?
Everybody loves you, baby
Of course they do
Do you miss me?
I miss you
