Written by Elvis Costello
A D
Feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces,
E A
be prepared to sweep me out the door.
A D
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases,
E A
So I think I'll get acquainted with the floor.
C#m D
Oh, I was trying to get away from the things that I always do,
B E
Hello, floorboards once again - how are you?
A D
Lip service - well, that's all you'll ever get from me,
E A E
how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
A D
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage,
E A
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
A D
All the sign posts on this road they point one way,
E A E
Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes.
A D
Now I'll turn the light out 'cause there's nothing to say,
E A
It's all been lost before so there's nothing to lose.
C#m D
Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly,
B E
I would've done the same for you, oh, but you said to me:
A D
Lip service - well, that's all you'll ever get from me,
E A E
how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
A D
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage,
E A
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
E A
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
