[Intro] 
A  G  D  A


[Verse 1]
A                       G
  I survived the dinner   and the air went thinner
D                  A
  I retired to the briars by the pool, it gets so loud
A                       G
  If I die this instant,   taken from a distance
D                             A
  They would probably list it down, among other things 'round town


[Chorus 1]
Em              D                             A
  Got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me
A
  I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down
Em                        D                             A
  In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace
A
  The surprise of the week, is that I never heard the sound


[Verse 2]
A                    G
  All the L.A. women, fall asleep while swimmin'
D                              A
  I got paid to fish 'em out   and then one day I lost the job
A                      G
  And I cried a little, I got fried a little
D                                A
  Then she laid her eyes on mine, and she said, "Babe, you're better off"


[Chorus 2]
Em              D                             A
  Got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me
A
  I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down
Em                        D                             A
  In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace
A
  The surprise of the week, is that I never heard the sound


[Bridge 1]
Am       G      D         A
  Tunnel vision lights my way
Am       G      D      A
  Lead a little life today


[Bridge 2]
A                     G                      D                      A
As the free-fall advances, I'm the moron who dances, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
A                 G                        D                     A
I was teething on roses, I was in guns and noses, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
          Em                    D        A
Under the withering white skies of humiliation
          Em                    D        A
Under the withering white skies of humiliation


[Bridge 3]
Am       G      D         A
  Tunnel vision lights my way
Am       G      D      A
  Lead a little life today
Am       G      D         A
  Tunnel vision lights my way
Am       G      D      A
  Lead a little life today


[Outro]
         Bm       D      A     G    
She wore blue velvet, 
         Bm       D      A     G    
said she can't help it
         Bm       D      A     G    
She wore blue velvet, 
         Bm       D      A     G    
said she can't help it
         Bm       D      A     G    
She wore blue velvet, 
         Bm       D      A     G    
said she can't help it
