  (Lovely Rita, meter maid)
     A
Your potential, you lack credentials
G   A       A
And you are special, so fucking special (Rita)
G  A       A
Oh how you need it, oh how you're needing
G   A        A
And you keep squeezin' the tube from the middle (ay ay ay ay)

             A
You part the seas but your arches, they ain't golden (ah)
G   A       A
And you was gaggin' for some gags so now you're rollin' (woo)
G  A  A
      Best you shut your trap and keep it hush (hush)
A                      C             B
On another note, compliments make me blush

          A                          D
There's a hole in your pocket so you cannot find the change
A                                 D
Cavern of your mind, you say your patterned
              A                               D
You pull your strings and you jump, hold your mouth and you say
B                         Bb
  "What was scripted, the day before it happened?"

   A                      D
We all give applause when people open doors
    A                          D
But on the way out it did your back in
     A                        D
See, everything in life ain't silver and gold
    B                         Bb
But minin' for metal gave you platinum

            A    G  A               D
It makes me sick to think you ain't happy in your skin
             A    G  A           D
It's wearing thin to think light bulb don't blink
     A        G  A            D
Just flickers so dim, then it pops and withers
         B                      Bb
You're a Turkey Twizzler, you deserve school dinners
         A
Makes me sick

The truth, the bills, they must be paid (uh-huh)
    A               D
And what is left is sodden cake, typical
A               D
Oh, you need to change your face
       B                  Bb
You're gettin' sold, it's such a waste

          A                   D
You know, we could do so much better than this
A                    D
Swimmin' in pools of momentary bliss
          A                                  D
Where you gotta gotta bite the bounty 'cause everybody takin' it
    B                             Bb
Meanwhile you keep on adding, how big you gonna grow?

It's wearing thin to think light bulb don't blink
