The Mayor

VERSES: Gm Ooh, it's scrambled eggs what he says Gm He accuses me of treachery Gm Got the nine lies, got the wide eyes, C got a failing grade in chemistry Gm If you count back to the balcony Gm when all we saw was a mystery C of a blonde-haired boy brought his mother joy F Gm with his pedigree and family tree Gm Oh, lay it all out on a wicker couch Gm that you wove in a loony bin Gm Cut it out, it's a second-round bout C not the way of a gentleman Gm Ah, give it up, get a job, Gm take a pill and leave me be C He's got a synapse lapse he don't think he has F Gm but it's been proven empirically _____________________________________________________ CHORUS: Gm "If they take something precious from me, C I'm gonna take something precious from them." Gm Oh now he's losing his constituency, D we thought "Oh, this could never happen again." Gm If I take something precious from him, C he try to take something precious from me Gm There's a battle in his head that he cannot win D There's a man that he could never be C Oh no F Way to go Gm He's the mayor _____________________________________________________ VERSES: Gm Oh, I'm quite tired of this lunatic Gm Why must we suffer 'cuz the mayor's sick? Gm He say: "All abandon from this sinking ship." C and he's off on another trip Gm No, he don't care about environment Gm He has made this a sh*tty place C My interest rate shrinks at a rapid pace F Gm compounded daily on my worried face _____________________________________________________ CHORUS (x2): Gm "If they take something precious from me, C I'm gonna take something precious from them." Gm Oh now he's losing his constituency, D we thought "Oh, this could never happen again." Gm If I take something precious from him, C he try to take something precious from me Gm There's a battle in his head that he cannot win D There's a man that he could never be C Oh no F Way to go Gm He's the mayor _____________________________________________________ OUTRO: D# You're gonna hang your head and cry F Your gonna hang your head and cry Gm you're gonna cry (He's the mayor) (Oh no, way to go, he's the mayor)
