Intro 

G - G* - Em - Em* x 2 


verse 1 
           G                     
I need to find somebody who can tear me away 
         Em                     
From the car crying babies and switchblade days 
     G            
The bark of the unemployment hounds 
        Em                       
And the thought of the thick, white skull on the ground 
        C* 
I won't die in the bony arms of the state 
      Em  
To be laid to rest in the wake of the faded town 

G - G* - Em - Em* x 2  


verse 2 
           G 
And if the raincoats come to steal my home 
          Em 
There's a big white house at the end of the road 
      G 
I can see you wrapped in Egyptian thread 
     Em 
In a marble garden, immune to the mess 
       C* 
If you leave this world in a rhinestone shroud 
         Em  
We could finally make your father proud 


G - G* - Em - Em* x 2  


Pre-Chorus 
      C* 
If I leave this world in a loaded daze 
      Em                      C*          
I can finally have and eat my cake 
  


          G  
I want to die like a rich boy diving 
     C/G  
In a hydro-codone dream 
        C* 
You can die like a rich girl by me 
           C/G            C 
Oh how the magazines will grieve 
     G 
I'll die like a rich boy bathing 
     C/G 
In a milk bath I could drown 
        C* 
Want to die like a rich boy 
                 C/G            C 
Even if we're as poor as we are now 
          G 
I want to die like a rich boy drowning 
     C/G 
In a lake that bears my name 
        C* 
You can die like a rich girl by me 
            C/G          C 
Flushed and radiant with fame 
        G 
I wanna lie in a state on the TV 
     C/G      
In a golden cardboard crown 
        C* 
Want to die like a rich boy 
                 C/G            C 
Even if we're as poor as we are now 



G - G* - Em - Em* x 2  


verse 3/Outro 

       G 
Well I found you now so tear me away 
         Em 
From the feral street they lumped us in 
G 
I'll be Shakespeare's moon-struck king 
       Em 
We can lose our minds at the top of the hill 
        C* 
We burn cash and carry a decadent flame 
    Em                            G 
Way into the night and beyond the grave  


G - G* - Em - Em* - G
