Verse:

D --------- Bm ------- F# --
Stuck in my beat suede shoes 

------- G ------------- Em -------- D ----- A
I can't wait, Oh what a state to be in.

D -------- Bm ------------ F# -------
I need her heart and get a Jack-jones 

------ G --- Em --------
for my sins, she's gonna 

D ----------------- A ----------
ditch that shining, sick machine 

------ F# ----------------- G --
And be speeding straight my way.

Em ---- D ------------------
But I'm churning in neutral, 

A ---------- D/F# --
turning in a circle,

G ----------- Em ---- A
Just like the USA.

D ----------- F# ------------
The secret is silver, it's to 

G ------------- Em ------- D ---- A
shine and never simply sur-vive

D --------------- F# --------
And don't swallow substitutes 

--- G -------------- A ----
and never see second prize. 

------ Bm --------- G ---
'Cos I know that my might 

--------------- D ------- F#
could change my mind,

------- Bm --------- G ----
And I'm told that by rights 

----------- D ----- A
it's not my find.

-------- E ------------- A ----
I'd be a tribute to temp-tation 

------- F# ----------- G ---- Em
in it's glory and it's grave, 

------- D ------------------
But I'm churning in neutral,      

A ---------- D/F# --
turning in a circle,

G ----------- Em - D 
Just like the US---A



REPEAT



Bridge:

G ---------- F#sus - F# ------
I hear those rhyming bells and 

Bm ----- F# ------- Bm -
heed the words they say, 

--- E -------------- E7 ------
And with a string of diamelles 

---- Em7 ------------- A --
I'll steal her heart a-way.



(last verse as before)



Sorry, but you're on your own with the outro solo... :)
