G C G Karen, I'm not taking sides C G C I don't think I'll ever do that again I'll end up winning and I won't know why I'm really trying to shine here, I'm really trying You're changing clothes and closing windows on me all the time Chorus: Cm A# G# Fm Cm Well, whatever you do, listen, you better wait for me A# G# Fm D# No, I wouldn't go out alone into America A# Cm Whatever you do D# Listen, and you better wait for me A# Cm No, I wouldn't go out alone Karen, we should call your father, maybe it's just a phase He'll know the trick to get a wayward soul to change his ways It's a common fetish, for a doting man, to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand Chorus A# Gm Without warm water in my head Dm All I see is black and white and red Cm I feel mechanical and thin A# Hear me play my violin again Gm I'm living in the target's shoes Dm All I see is black and white and blue.
