Intro:  

Em              G               Em              G  
Em              D6              C       F/C     C  

verse 1:  

              Esus4                 G  
Well you went uptown riding in your limousine  
          Esus4            G  
With your fine Park Avenue clothes  
            Esus4                D6  
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand  
                      C    F/C    C  
And the spoon up your nose  


             Esus4                            G  
And when you wake up in the morning With your head on fire  
         Esus4              G  
And your eyes too bloody to see  
          Esus4                  D6  
Go on and cry in your coffee but don't   
                 C      F/C     C  
Come bitchin' to me
