[Verse 1]
G                                G
I wanna live in a better part of town
G                                  G
Over the park in a bed of garlands
        G                              G
With an ivory banister I can slide down
      G                             G
And a man outside that I call Simon


[Refrain 1]
Am                       D                  C
I wanna fall asleep in a cashmere nightgown
         D         G
When the ship goes down


[Verse 2]
G                                G
I wanna live in a better part of town
      G                                G
Where I don't have to hide my diamonds
    G                         G
The bourgeoisie are bubbling around
    G                                G
But they can't touch my sweet asylum


[Refrain 2]
Am                    D                   C             
They'll put me on the first life boat out
         D         C          
When the ship goes down
         D         G          
When the ship goes down


[Bridge]
G              D         C
 We deserve a chauffeur in our car
G              D           C
 Black truffle loaded with caviar
G                D       C
 White gloves to open up every door
G                     D           C
 Life is short, let's get what we came for
G          D      C
 La La La, I want more
G                D        C
 La La, and I'll get what I came for
G          D      Am
 La La La, I want more


[Refrain 3]
Am                   D
I wanna get high and never come down
Am                     D
Mountains of white and music so loud
C                D              C
I wanna die with jewels in my crown
         D         C
When the ship goes down
         D         Em
When the ship goes down
         D         G
When the ship goes down
