         C           A               Em
Tears me up to get stuck at the gates
          C           A                C
How you stay in one place like molasses
A        C
All you want
A        C
All you want
A       G          A
Is somebody to get off
F A F A F E Em
On  on  on

Alibi with the man that you offer
All the ways it's untrue, I won't fight
All you're not
All you're not
All dishonest in your heart

Lullaby and they play it on the guitar
Fire you up to get out and get some
All this is
All this is
But the bottle did get dropped out

All you want
All you want
Is somebody to get off
On on on.
